Music Monday!

Hello Everyone,

I'm here live from Kelowna, back from fishing and missing a lot of the music that I only watch through youtube.

In honor of video and music, here is a song that you may only be able to appreciate with the visual of the artist playing it. I am very impressed with this artist's unusual technique in song writing. As you watch this video, ask yourselves how he is making all those sounds by himself. Ashley checked out on this song at about four minutes and forty five seconds. I'm using her as the mean; if you can only handle four minutes thirty seconds then you are below average and should write a letter of apology that you will never send to the artist. Anyone who can listen longer than Ashley will be awarded 20 eco points towards a damaged fishery of your choosing.

This is Colin Stetson with "Awake On Foreign Shores and Judges"

If you notice he is using circular breathing the entire time. He pushes air through his mouth while he is breathing in. Try it without passing out. He's not the first artist to do this but that sweet sax sound kicks Kenny G right in the pants. He's also using his own voice for some of the sounds. That is why this guy is a polaris music prize winner, inventive and cool. Go Colin Go.

Thanks for listening/watching. See you next time.
