The vocalists on the From The Landing show from NPR
are also excellent though I don't own much of the work.Rebecca Kilgore is their featured vocalist who always seems
fresh and able to keep time-- you know, not behind the beat or
in front of it. Streams of the show are available from the
Riverwalk site.
I tend to be a minimalist as far as hardware is concerned.
Over on the DIY forum one of the regulars was saying that
his kids wanted to build a BIB (Bigger Is Better design from Terry
Cain). The kids are 8 and 5. The one won a cheap cd player and
they want to fire it up with a Sonic Impact amp and run it
to some BIBs. They want to paint flames on the BIB's.
