I have a friend with a Hang.  It was a gift to him from the person who made it (I don't know the details, some people have all the luck/connections).  I got the chance to play with it over the span of a week when we were camped out together at a gathering.  It was a lot of fun to explore, and I experimented with it enough to know that I'm not a natural on the Hang, so it's not depressing to me that I can't have one. 

I think there are good aspects and bad with respect to people who are fortunate enough in life to be motivated by other things besides money.  In another situation there would be enormous pressure on them to mass produce these things simply because there is a perceived market.  I am very sure that many Hang owners got their instruments as gifts, in a different world from the one where people buy them for thousands of pounds  (and even with that kind of money on offer, were declined).  

Another track with a Hang

Silicon Valley geek music.

Ok, think I've heard this one too many times now... I can actually envision a man in an owl costume doing interpretive dance. Very unsettling image.

Hang drum elitists suck!

Yay. A Hang drum! I have serious hang drum envy, as does Mrs Poacher. Our dream is for a matching pair of them for Poacher mansions. . . but on the basis they go for £3,000 each second hand and you can't buy them new it is going to be a while. 

Luckily, there are other people now making similar drums so all is not lost.

Muzak.

I actually like this song - it meets my criteria of what a good song should be, based on the level of bass in relation to drums and the amount of reverb compared to the vocals and...

Okay, I totally suck at analyzing a song beyond the "Fire bad, tree pretty" criteria. I like this song. My foot taps, my head nods, and my fingers type in rhythm to the beat.

Coat me in candy and call me a sucker.

Sugarfree jazz. 

I know it's elevator music-y,but it's still pretty cool.

I like shaved jazz.

Rhythm part is good. I can take or leave the rest.

There are no elevators in Zionsville, In, not that I have seen?  maybe at a retirement community? just curvy roads...

San Francisco elevator music - thankfully forgettable.

Pret-eee Kewl!

You hear smooth jazz here?  Funny, I didn't, and I have a very keen smooth jazz radar.  Will have to listen again. 

Smooth jazz is an oxymoron, by the way. But you knew that. 
 

"The truth is out there!" (had to say it)

Fun, I like it.

What's worse than smooth jazz?

Smooth jazz from another country.

But wait, they're from San Francisco?  Oh well, that comment just went into nonsequiter mode immediately.  Nothing to see here, move along...

Hmmm...I think I'm digging this. Growing on me.

Maybe it is just my mood this afternoon, but I am just digging the hell out of this setlist.  Thanks Bill!

Any connection to Joe Venuti?

Nice one Bill G. The last three songs just slid in and out of each other so well, J.J. Cale -Ride Me High, Matt Venuti & The Venusians - Owl Man Dance & Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street.
