none of the above
Looking for one band called Paper Bird, I came across another. But it wasn’t the music that struck me, it was the paper:

Wow!
That is AMAZING!
The tune is VERY catchy, but the origami is FASCINATING!
Just checked them out on iTunes, and will probably pick up both of their albums!
Not sure what to make of the video, but I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to make the bird. I don’t think that’s 8-1/2 by 11 paper.
Karen:
Origami paper is uniquely sized, so you might have to go to a craft store…
I do not think that Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot, or any of that type of store would have it, but Joann’s Fabrics, Michael’s or AC Moore would be more likely to have origami paper…
If you cannot find any, let me know!
I can pick some up for you and mail it to you…
mm: How sweet of you to offer. We have all three of those stores nearby — I’ll try them. It’s a quest now.
Karen:
Cool…
Good luck on your quest!
If not, let me know…
Thanks, Boolz, for posting “The Lonely Security Guard” – a simple song, but the lyrics and the little story they tell captivated me. Hayden is a Canadian artist, currently touring in Canada. His MySpace address is: myspace.com/hayden
mm: I did get origami paper at AC Moore. I can see by the instructions within that there are many things that wouldn’t show up in this video, such as creasing ahead of time for later folds, pulling folds inside out, etc. So I have given up the quest for this bird, but might try the crane included in my instructions.
