Catchy chemistry: Pennsylvania musician sings songs about the periodic table of elements
Bethlehem, Pa — A Pennsylvania musician is making the periodic table of elements fun!
George Hrab and his band, The George HraBand, sing about all 118 elements in the periodic table in his show, “Occasional Songs For The Periodic Table.”
As they go through the table of elements, there are various musical styles, from reggae to heavy metal.
“So heavy metal fans and reggae fans will then appreciate and learn about protactinium or learn about einsteinium,” explains Hrab.
“It’s sort of a fun opportunity to teach people a little bit of something.”
The project started as a way to get Hrab out of a writers block and he never expected it to turn into something more.
“And before I knew it, I had like 50 done and then 60 and an 80 and then 100,” says Hrab. “And then I finished them all off and hoped that someday I’d be able to play them live with a band.”
