Thank you very much.
Lots of amazing looking stuff to check out here. The Kali Malone record is one of the best things I’ve heard in ages. I was lucky enough to be at the Haino solo Hurdy Gurdy show but I haven’t actually had the guts to listen to the recording yet. I’m afraid it couldn’t possibly live up to the experience itself. The overtones were flying!
