Music [3]

Scotshobbits require no translation I'm sure.

Medieval Scots with modern music, huh? Curious concept. Probably saw some language and couldn't resist.

I liked the word "mowdiwarp" in place of manatee.

Mowdiwarp for manatee sounded inteso I had a look and a listen. But I the English text said mole, and that made sense cause  in Norw.. um Fjordian it's muldvarp or moldvarp.

Also the word fordi is the same in Fjordian.

Oh and hame for home, from Petty's story. It's "haym" not "hám" right? I say heim.

From the proto-Germanic moldo-worpo, literally meaning "earth-thrower". Pretty cute.

Neist and "nest/neste" must be related too. Lots of connections here of course.

Holy crap, Jimi Hendrix on acoustic guitar! First he's doing Delta Blues, and sounds just like the dozen other delta blues guitarists I've heard. Then we have him doing a deltafied version of Hound Dog. Just goes to show you the greats don't arrive fully formed: they work their way through the framework of what came before them.

sometimes the world becomes too much (like after watching RoP 3) and you feel the need to be lulled off.

You can start around 5:00 if you don't want to listen to the whole thing. Elephant doesn't do much until then.

I had mentioned in my post to Lance that you'd see the best street musicians along Royal Street in New Orleans. I posted an old clarinet player from there a while back, here's another band. I've realized I actually saw this band in a bar along Frenchman street before (and posted a video: the trumpet player sings), but they seem to all rotate off and on the street - the musicians in that town just can't stop. Look how young they are! I love that.

Beautiful piece of music

She's got one of those wacky sideways embouchres. How do instructors allow that?

I see what you mean, but she pumps out a great sound though.

Chris keeps posting these insufferably talented Russian tykes, and though I can't dredge up an American toddler to match, this kid will have to do.

Great. And a bubbly personality to match.

{{ Not generally one for Country and Western, but heard this first in my early 20's, a time when I was both drinking a lot and experimenting with hallucnigens so it rather resonated. }}

Just saw chris's 9-year old tyke, and we seem to have a run of that going on. Have to look up Lightning Hopkin's performance of that song to see whether she riffed or mimicked.

Petty - I thought there was a rawer version of that on The Big Lebowski, but it seems to be the same. Somehow I remember a more gravelly voice, but can't find such a version.

Took me a couple minutes to warm up to these guys, but once I did they are so delightfully adorageek. You have to be pretty much a music geek to appreciate this. Dammit, where's Norc when you need her?

{{ Bit of an od one, this is a orchestra that covers game music, but this one is is a bit different. In the popular game series Mass Effect there is an alien scientist, a Salarian who are a very intelligent short lived species who all talk very fast, and in the game he sings a varation of a famous Gilbert and Sullivan song, or a verse of one anyway, 'I (am the very model of) a Salarian Scientist', this is the full version of the one verse we got it in the game. The singer is not the original voice actor but he does a superb impersonation of the character (so much so I had to check google to see if it was him or not) and its just a fun version of a classic musical tune whether you know the game or not, and well done on the lyrics, I dont imagine they were easy to learn! }}

We don't accord these players enough respect.



I like the look he has right before he starts: about to plunge into the cauldron.

Brilliant

Got this on my favorites
