In honor of Pi Day, please check out the clip below the jump. Lucy Kaplansky is one of my favorite current-day folk singers. I have seen her perform numerous times. Her father was a mathematician, and he wrote “a song about Pi”, where the notes correspond to the starting digits of the eternal Pi. I have seen Kaplansky perform this, and it was a funny moment: I saw her perform at Maxwell’s once, in Hoboken, and someone requested “Song About Pi”, and she was so touched, it took her so aback – this is not a song she has ever recorded, but over the years it has become a fan favorite. Also, the fact that her father (a man she obviously loved very much) wrote it.<\/p>\n

So, in honor of Pi Day, here is Lucy Kaplansky singing her dad’s song “Song About Pi”. So glad it was on Youtube. The second I saw it was Pi Day, I thought of Lucy Kaplansky and her father.<\/p>\n
