Slawie ,
Thanks for your last link , that is wonderful.

The Ride of the Valkyries  
 

 
( incredible singing and vocal arrangement and a good recording and performance)
 
Here is the history:http://www.viking-mythology.com/valkyries.php

The beauty of the recording is that the artist Bertram Turetzky is playing only harmonics!
 
Talk about knowing your instruments' fingerboard (or just above it to be correct).
 
As I am a member of the International Society of Bassists there are usually a number of great postings that do filter their way through to members.

Bonnie Dobson  sings the ORIGINAL
Morning Dew ______
 
GRATEFUL DEAD FANS , listen to this !
I think she has such a beautiful voice___  
 

Wolf, that Bonnie Dobson recording is spectacular! What a great voice. Thanks for posting.

Rob , I am glad that you enjoyed it. The sad aspect is what the song is really about , that being the devastating loss of human life  after  an atomic  war. Her rendition makes the corners of my eyes tear ,  thus she has been successful as an artist and has made an impact, at least on me , but surely many other folks as well .

Good show ! Phil gets in the mix  a little late in  Deal , but otherwise nice sound.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas - Catfish John:  

Some guys I'm filling in on bass with this summer just split a show with these folks last night.
 

 
I met them several years ago at another music festival, and ended up jamming with them afterward. In addition to being absolutely fantastic musicians and singers, they are genuinely some of the nicest folks you would ever meet. Proud to be neighbors with them here in Southwest Virginia.

Tinnitus.

Edwin, I am sorry to read of your tinnitus, I know what thats like .

I listen to tinnitus daily but am tired of hearing the same thing over and over... wish they could write some new material.

I suppose I have tinnitus; there is constant white noise in my ears.  I've had it for quite a while now, and I'm quite used to it.
 
Quite a while back, I had my hearing tested; and there was high end loss in my left ear, and both high end and low end loss in my right ear.  When I'm in a noisy room, I can't hear what other people are saying unless I lean in close with my left ear.
 
Of course I played in loud bar band most of my life.  But around fifteen years ago, the band I was in practiced in the basement of one of the members.  It was not a large room.  One night as we were getting ready to rehearse, he was adjusting the vocal levels; all of a sudden there was this piercing feedback, which really hurt.  I'm pretty sure that one incident did more damage than any other.
 
It's a cautionary tale for all of you who are still playing in loud bands.  If the person mixing your sound at rehearsal isn't careful, real damage can be done in a second.
 
Where I live it can get really quiet and peaceful.  I like to sit out on the front porch and listen to the creek, the wind in the trees, and the white noise in my ears.  They all blend in together.
 
 

Try working on an aircraft carrier for a few years...  kind of noisy!!
