Occasionally reminds me of Shawn Colvin,  but with less smoke in her voice.

So Nice is a favorite bossa nova.   Aka Summer Samba.   It became elevator music,  but the good kind that made you want to stay in the elevator.

That is!

But why are they dressed pseudo-Western?  They're at Harvard aren't they?   And the tubes were invented by an MIT alum.   

It's doubly amazing because you don't usually use only a clipped percussive sound for the more sustained legato of Queen's musical theater style.   And yet it sounds fine.

Cool,  Tony.   Rob Zombie has teamed up with a new supergroup.

I like the old Johnny Cash version,  too....

RiP Dusty Hill,  ZZ Top bassist.   Died in his sleep,  at age 72.

Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan
Sleep beside the pharaohs in the shifting sand
We'll look at some pyramids and check out some heads
Oh, we'll whip out our mattress 'cause there ain't no beds
Slip inside my sleeping bag
Slip inside my sleeping bag

Josh,  I read this,  and posted the link at scienceforums.net, which provoked some discussion.   There's some debate out there as to whether or not people can really distinguish the old and new violins in blindfold tests.  And how the anti-worm chemicals would affect tonal qualities compared to the myriad other factors involved in making a Cremona violin.   

Living with a pro musician for decades,  and having a violinist daughter,  I had heard before that some thought the varnish was important to the tone.   But the chemicals used on the raw wood would seem to be more significant both to the original tone and how that tone held up over the long haul.

Thanks.

Interesting discussion there.

The FB group I read it in had quite the lively discussion, too, but is private so I cannot share the link meaningfully.

I suspect they will be poking at this issue for a good while, yet!

Especially with the threat to the trees from which these lovely instruments have been made!

I think that is just true - for me, not just you.

An adolescent I work with was excited about it, but was totally unfamiliar with the original!
