Free music from a wonderful play I've been involved with for some time... "The Blue Flower". Music by Jim Bauer. Pedal steel on every track. All real, honest to goodness musical instruments (no synth), and human beings playing and singing.

Here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/secondstagetheat ... lue-flower

PS: Not implying that synths are not musical instruments, but here, when you hear a bassoon, it's a bassoon, or bass or cello etc...not a patch.

PS The Bassoonist on the recording is one of the greats of the instrument, who also happens to be Estonian..Mr. Martin Kuuskmann.

Darn it! These on-line sound files will never open for me; this one won't, either. :(

Hey John,
Great songs, beautiful playing. Also thanks for taking the time to talk to me about the many mechanical intricacies of the psg.
