  Maybe he's not as as mellifluous as that, but here's a recording Mitch Bradley singing the Open Firmware theme song! But at least he's more mellifluous than Richard Stallman singing the Free Software song. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9844026 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9844026 That same Open Firmware Forth system [1], which was developed by Mitch Bradley [2], was not only in the PowerPC Mac bios, but it was originally used for the SparcStation boot roms, and eventually in the OLPC, and it was even an IEEE Standard 1275-1994!
