A timely old chestnut, good stuff.

From the same era another chestnut........ Circus Maximus "Wind"

​

I have been collecting for some time Traditional Korean Folk Music records, I have some from North Korea but I cannot find what I have on records on YouTube so I cannot post anything so I am posting some South Korean Folk Music because on YouTube I can find some that I have on record like Hwang Byungki.

Hwang Byungki who died in January 2018 was a virtuoso of a traditional Korean instrument the kayagûm a 12 string instrument very much like a zither, but not a zither. Hwang Byungki specialise in a type of Korean Folk Music called the Sanjo which is purely instrumental and very intricate and also very delicate and it was specifically developed for the kayagûm between 1890-1891 by Kim Chang-jo. Sanjo itself is in a Sub-Genre of Traditional Korean Folk Music, the Sub-Genre is called Minsogak but unlike pure Sanjo which is instrumental Minsogak also includes singing. With Hwang Byungki there is no singing.

Hwang Byungki "Kayagûm Masterpieces Vol. 4 - Spring Snow" released in 2001 on C&L Music.

The below contain five movements they are:

I. "Spring Snow: Calm Morning"
II. "Spring Snow: Peacefully"
III. "Spring Snow: Mysteriously"
IV. "Spring Snow: Humorously"
V. "Spring Snow: Excitedly"

Oosie, I used to have a Chinese version of this same instrument here (apparently I was in San Francisco with too much money in my pocket and wandered into a music store).

With your post as an introduction to what it's supposed to sound like here's Luna Lee with what it's not supposed to sound like but you get a good view .. multitracked...

​

and solo....

​

Incredible! Also I add that Luna Lee version of "Green Onions" in my opinion is superior to the Booker T and The MGs version.

Nina Simone "Blues For Mama" from the album "Nina Simone Sings The Blues" released in 1967 on RCA Victor Records.

Here is Luna Lee with her version of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall"....she NEEDS to do a version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky"

I think David Gilmour and Co. would approve and at 2 minutes and 14 seconds she gets very interesting.

She's all over the map with her song choices, but she is meticulous in mimicking the solos isn't she?
Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, BB King, nothing intimidates her.

Here's her Layla, again multitracked with two instruments for the key changes:

​

Sadly in some of her more recent vids she's starting to sing. Bad idea.

You can write to her to suggest Ghost Riders.

Yes her solos are very impressive.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo her singing is going to RUIN everything, she needs to be told to stop ANY singing and just continue the instrumentals. Yes perhaps should email her and suggest she does a version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky"

We see many examples of very very good instrumental players upon achieving the success they deserve, deciding "that means I can sing now". Well --- no, it doesn't mean that, sorry.

Natalie MacMaster comes to mind.

​

-- with her famous Uncle Buddy here. Buddy was my intro to Cape Breton fiddling 30+ years ago, he came to our festival backed by Dave MacIsaac and Hilda Chiasson. I've been to Cape Breton four times to soak up the music, there's nothing like it.

Here is Luna Lee with her version of The Beatles "Come Together" and another very interesting and unique performance from her.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Hmm, I like the original. It was something.

Feel the tubes glow.

What year was that? '78?

I know I heard "Come Together" before Blue Lagoon and Sgt. Pepper was in the theaters.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Hmm, I like the original. It was something.

It is known Mr. Marion that I hate The Beatles, I add I also hate Elvis Presley.

That's too bad, I like Elvis. Did you know that after every concert, he went to a local church and played for an hour or so?

Elvis knew more negro spirituals than most blacks alive today. He lived for that stuff.


Did Elvis go into the army when called? Why yes, he did.

I think if Elvis would have recorded only Blues and Negro Spirituals then I would like him.

Ella does it right! I think my cousin does it a notch better, though.

I might be prejudiced. But seriously, I think she does.


With my aunt on the piano, it would definitely beat this. Nothing else even comes close except Ella.

I have the album:

It's Sunday. My mom loved this song. Not like this.
