More Beautiful Music
Turns out “Klever Kaff” was perhaps more well known for folk songs. This one, her signature song, is really beautiful.

Beautiful Music
I was poking around with Google, making sure I remembered that the Messiah “version” we sang at St Bede was, indeed, the Novello Edition (it was), and ran across this. Wow!!

Gotta Smile Again

Darn the luck!! Turns out this isn’t the genuine thing after all, according to Snopes… It’s still a smiler, though.

Not Your Grandfather’s Cello Player
Comment from the guy who posted this on YouTube:
“This is a pretty amazing video of Ethan Winer playing 37 separate cello parts to create one song. He even plays the percussion parts on his cello. It was recorded on 23 tracks using 37 plug-in effects. He spent hundreds of hours on this project so its worth a listen.”
It really is amazing!

Cobbler… Pondkeeper… Cobbler… Pondkeeper…
…what’s the connection?
We did a lot of work on the little pond this week, and snippets of this kept popping out; don’t know why…

I Saw Old Faithful Go Off!!
And from my very own living room!
Bob spotted a short piece in the Senile this afternoon about the National Park Service’s new streaming Webcam for the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park.
To get to the new camera, point your browser to the Yellowstone Web site and click on the Photos and Multimedia button on the left side. That takes you to the Photos and Multimedia page, but also drops down the Photos and Multimedia menu. From either the page or the menu, click Webcams, which takes you to the Yellowstone Webcams page.
From here, you can look at the original Yellowstone Webcam. This shows real-time still images of Old Faithful which update every 30 seconds. It also shows the predicted time for the next eruption. Just below the Webcam image is a little graphic from The Weather Underground that shows the time and the temperature in ° Farenheit and Centigrade.
Back on the Yellowstone Webcams page, clicking on the Old Faithful Geyser Live! link near the top takes you to the page for the new and improved streaming Webcam.
Before clicking on the Launch Old Faithful Geyser Live!—Video WebCam link, please note that Windows Media Player (or equivalent) is required. ::::rolling eyes::::
I’m using the VLC media player from VideoLAN; it’s available for Windows, Mac (OS X only), and a ton of UNIX and LINUX flavors. VLC just works. I clicked on the live Webcam link, and it took over from there. What more can you ask for?
If you’re running Mac OS 8.1 through 9.x, VLC isn’t available, and I’m not sure what options other than Windows Media Player there are… Any road, Windows Media Player 7.1 is still around.
Once you’ve got your video viewer set and ready to go, click the link and enjoy!
Did you know? There are more people hurt by bison than by bears each year in Yellowstone. Park regulations state that visitors must stay at least 25 yards away from bison or elk and 100 yards away from bears.

Bing and Bowie in “HQ Audio”
More poking around on YouTube…
Yeah, the audio is improved over non-HQ versions of the video, but I wish something could have been done about the balance; Bing is still too far in the background. And ClassicXmas’s stupid little logo has got to go; it’s not like it’s his (her?) work is it?
