But I looked it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo The violence doesn't bug me so much as it seems it's a slick Hollywood production with no music value. Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy but where is the current generation's 'music'? It just all seems like screaming with cool video. Here's an antidote 'eyewash'. Martin Sexton's "The Way I Am". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo4fAEi6yLQ - -Steve B - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 11:50:55 -0500 From: ava rosenblum Subject: Taylor Swift & Apple njc When I recently saw her most recently released ultra-violent video, IB was really disappointed in Ms. Swift. Complaining about not receivingB compensation is certainly legitimate; however, in the context ofB producing an excessively violent video, it makes me think of her as aB rather shallow person. I had begun to be a bit interested in some ofB her melodies. But that video conveys someone with littleB understanding of the impact she may have on some members of herB audience. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 05:57:41 +0200 From: ingrid lochrenberg Subject: shameless You will come off second best if you take me on. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 17:09:21 +0000 From: "Susan E. McNamara" Subject: RE: The Jungle Line Les Irvin, Laurie, Jamie, Kakki and Lesli, correct me if I'm wrong but it sounded like Brian Blade had a clean recording of the Burundi drummers playing on the sound system right before Kurt Elling's performance of the song at SFJazz. You could clearly hear the drummers voices for sure ... Chris I hope that your experiment works but if not contacting Brian Blade doesn't sound like a completely outlandish suggestion!!

Around 10 years ago, I purchased a mint condition CD-4 Quadraphonic LP of HOSL. It is RUMORED that the discrete 4 tracks on the Quad are set up to allow isolation of the Burundi drums. This is a legend I wish to prove or debunk once and for all. I'd never seen any verification on this list, so in the absence of an acquaintance with a working Quadraphonic system, I've decided to build my own version 30+ years after the technology collapsed. I have some of the last pieces coming within the next week or so and provided everything works, I may have the answer to a question only I seem to have asked. I DO think however, that isolating that track would make performance of the piece more possible for a greater number of artists. About 15 years ago, I'd heard a background track on Public Radio that I swore was the Burundi drums, without Joni's overlays. I'd back-searched it and was given a source but hit a brick wall prior to the era of digital music availability. Very unfortunately, I've since lost the information so far as I had. Just throwing it out there again, does anyone know the source or availability of the track?

He's interested in exploring a lot of different areas but I've tried to not overwhelm him with Joni (okay, leaving the interview on his pillow with Robert Plant, one of his heroes, waxing on about sitting at the feet of Joni hearing her play him "Number One" is perhaps a little over the line) anyway. The other day he went on a road trip and said he wanted to listen to "Hejira." Hey, okay. I also try not to over-explain but I said it was all done on a car trip across the U.S. so no piano. He came back the next day and said he was astounded. Yesterday, I found Hissing in the car and said, "May I play you one song?" I chose The Jungle Line. I introduced it by saying that she'd found a recording of African Burundi drums and wrote a song over it. (The previous night, Dennis & band played at a bar where one of the pre-acts was a guy with a laptop and rap songs which he sang over  I'm afraid it was very hard for! me to understand ) I said, "Like the guy last night, she made up a song over a song." Haha. I played the song. At the end I said, "Go ahead and call her a folksinger if you want" He said only, "That was in-SANE." Highest compliment.

He located the original recording last year as a downloadable track. Not to dissuade you from building your quad system but if obtaining the track is the motivator you might be working too hard!
