Some of the online text is stupid, but the music is pretty cool. At least it’s better than this.

Am I the only one who finds humor in the fact that the the sign advertising hot dogs (frankfurters) has an American flag on it?

Text?

I thought they were lyrics to the song!

I want to be like Samurai Dave!

Seriously, very cool music.

To get a better understanding of that kind of music from that general part of the world, one could do much worse than watch the moving, Sundance Audience Award winning documentary “Genghis Blues” that depicts a blind San Francisco bluesman Paul Pena and his visit/homage to the land of the Tuvan throat singers. I got a copy of the film on VHS several years ago, but it is now available also on DVD, the music on CD, etc. at Amazon. The whole assortment can be found at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb.....1&y=23
