Yes!!!

See if you like this, friends. It is from Bandcamp and is played on a gigantic wooden (contraption? keyboard: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/03/t … 00-marbles

http://wintergatan.bandcamp.com/album/wintergatan. .

The first link has multiple shots of the instrument itself, the second features cuts off his album.

I know it's a keyboard, but it is played by the striking of strings so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking Arkady might  like this one as well.

Thanks!

Bill

PS: The second link may give you a message to "start at the beginning". I tried to fix this, but was unable, so could y'all do that for me, please?

My Friends

Once again I must thank you all for your forbearance as regards my "spotty" attendance of late on this, my "home away from home", "safe haven" and "comfort zone".

Without going into too much detail, I am sure you can surmise what has been keeping me occupied: My pretty Dondra's ongoing battle with stroke and the atrial fibrillation of her heart. The falls,  which stem from the side effects of the meds and the sometimes dizziness from standing up too quickly, have gotten more numerous and necessitate a trip to the ER (and sometime overnight stays)to make sure there's no cranial bleed. This has happened twice since last time you and I "spoke" here, and as you might imagine, I am never  far from her side. This has taken its toll on me physically as well as mentally and I try to sleep as much as I can when I can.

Amy is correct - there have been a couple of times when I just sat here and tried to read a little and I think I posted once, but have had very little opportunity to sit and write as I presently am and would like to.

Jim, my friend - I saw you had sent us a card and thought I had saved it into my "Read Later" file, but I am embarrassed to admit I must have erased it accidentally. If it isn't too much to ask, could you resend it? At this "iffy" time in both our lives, we have come to love when our friends call, and/or like you all here, send those very kind messages which I can read to Dondra and which always produce a smile.

This is very important: Please know that you have NOT been forgotten!!! We both think lovingly of y'all and your music plays through the house while she is awake and I am doing the "chores". Your music makes so many of our dreary days cheerier and brighter and that's what we need right now.

Heartfelt thanks and sincere loving thoughts from your friends,

Bill and Dondra Craig

Please don't mind me clawing at myself. It's nothing but some "Cold Turkey" withdrawal.

"It's got me....... on the run!"

Bill

Ja, I too am having the devil of a time both signing on (timing out) and posting.

Bill

PS: I saw the answer about clearing cookies. That didn't work for me, sorry.

Yeah, that pretty much describes me, TF. I tend to look for the absurd, even though I am the butt of my own jokes much of the time. I've always liked T-Bone Burnett. Most folks don't know that he researched and gathered the music for the Coen Brothers film, "O Brother Where Art Thou". He's kinda hard to pigeonhole, which adds to his appeal.

Glad you liked "Frank Cash"...... I'd been looking for that one for quite a while.

Bill

From Atlanta, Georgia........ Dixie Dregs (and yes, that's Mr. Morse in the center) with "Take It Off The Top". Turn up the volume a bit please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ6Y51dY2rw

A Double Feature this week, since we're coming down to the American Football Playoffs. This is T-Bone Burnett with "The Strange Case Of Frank Cash And The Morning Paper".......... Gotta listen close -- this is one of them "talkin' songs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqPtxR6x2XI

Watch out for the false ending!

I think you may have misread my post or mistaken my intentions, easybeat.

I'm lovin' it! Sounds a lot like Piano Red/Doctor Feelgood. Great choice, Sir!
