    on today's
All Things
Considered,

                           A new take on an old style: Andrew Bird began
playing the violin as a child ... starting with a Cracker Jack box strung
with rubber bands ... since then, he's played symphonies and folk music.
But now, he's finally settled on swing music. Not the big-band version of
swing that's undergoing a revival right now...but the small-group style
swing music of the 1930s.
