"ALTERNATIVE" MUSIC
"...Funny" maybe, but also kind of sad...
You see, for both of us (Ed & Karen), "live" music has for all our lives been a source of expressing the un-expressable: of making joy, lament, questioning, and so much, much more rise up into the skies; even to the ears of God.
We are sharing several VERY UNIQUE and wonderful music 'videos' with you! We think you might really enjoy them, hopefully, and appreciate them as we have.
First, "Organ Pipes Come Full-Circle!" You see, inspite of the claim of the guy at the opening of this video, organ pipes sound their notes in the same way as a pop-bottle does when you blow across it. ("soda-bottle" for you non mid-westerners). For the pipe organ, however, the instrument has compressed air from an air pump blowing across finely tuned pipes, instead of someone's lung-powers blowing across a partially filled bottle.

The use of a church nave for the setting in the following has to do w/ the desired acoustics...
In the following, Lithuanian composer and conductor, Mindaugas Piecaitis edited a few videos that showed a cat 'pawing' a piano. He then composed a wonderful and restful piece of music, in the Modern genre, to accompany parts of the cat video. Enjoy his “Catcerto."
Finally, Karen recently came a Praise Song that has moved her heart. Entitled "Overwelmed" by Big Daddy Weave. ("Where do they ever find these names?")
(By the way, "Big Daddy Weave" is the 'big' guy in the video w/ a little beard.)
