In music, the word atonal refers to a piece of music that is not written or played in one key.  It is analogous to the artist to whom this blog is dedicated, a talented individual whose knowledge, interests, and skills are rarely written or played in one key.  Not only is he a talented musician, but he is an accomplished athlete, voracious reader, and budding mathematician.  He can swim half a mile and run twice as far, and this month he was awarded a black belt in karate.  His favorite authors include Rick Riordan, J. R. R. Tolkien, Daniel Handler, and J. K. Rowling whose Harry Potter series he finished in the fourth grade.  He can recite more than 100 digits of Pi from memory and doesn't mind doing it in a restaurant or a Science Center.  And, although he his prefers egg sandwiches with cheese because they taste better that way, he is eager to eat his broccoli too because it is highly nutritional.

Sky began his musical adventures in elementary school

where he learned to play recorder and saxophone.
