Try this one.

Just check her out from 5:35 to the end if you don't like the rest.

What a woman!

If it doesn't improve the silence, turn that shit down.

Get the latest Adobe Flash player, Carmel. Or is the problem more complicated?

I had no Youtube sound on this box until yesterday, but it's because PnP doesn't always coordinate itself properly in this operating system. I had to adjust my administrator settings for the primary sound card manually in two different places.

Carmel:
It might be a more complicated and I confess that I'm a bit of a luddite, but I have a friend who's going to check it our for me. Plan B is to throw my computer out the window. :) ..but, thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

You can also go to Youtube's Help page, type in keywords and search for advice. For instance, if you don't see the player window, type in "no player window". There is a lot of help online if your search terms are precise.

Carmel,

Did you check to see if the problem were fixed after downloading the latest Adobe Flash player version? Go to adobe.com and click "get adobe flash player". Also, you'd need to close your browser window before trying Youtube again. You may not need your friend's help if you try this. It's easy enough.

Also, have you been able to watch Youtube videos on your box before, or never? If you have, then what did you do recently that you think may have created the problem?

Nice stuff, Cahoot. Jazz isn't my usual diet, but it adds flavour, and yes, she's supercool. Continuing on with the theme of Japanese jazz, and adding in a bit of rock, here are Special Others playing Star, live.

I thought she was good for a young female. But she's not brilliant, and doesn't compare to Frank Zappa, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, or even Winton Marsalis. She's equivalent to a university performance major with a flair for jazz, but certainly nothing extraordinary. I find the asian classical western musicians don't have enough eccentricity or creativity; they tend to have the virtuosity of someone who practises scales and arpeggi to an extraordinary pitch of perfection, but who don't really understand the western structures of sound as composers. They seem to be in awe of the structures. I haven't studied Chinese music systems, only some Peking opera and Japanese Gagaku, and find it hard to believe how incapable they are of using the same aural skills for harmonics, and transferring it over. It must be something to do with wanting to live up to some kind of traditional image of western music, so that they can't deconstruct the rules.

I think people from thousands of years ago would have enjoyed these as a side dish to the soloist's explanation of his view of Nature:
Handel.
J.S. Bach.

Kelly,

A contemporary for your pleasure, appropriate now for these latitudes.

This is sentimental, and lovely. Can you see it? Nestled in a mountain valley, the first sunbeams piercing and dancing motes in the morning mist, dew on the green leaves, pastel silence awaiting first sounds to coax villagers from night dreams ... an old man remembering.

Hi Laird,

Thanks you for noticing Hiromi! That first number posted, Place to Be, captured me. If you notice, she cries throughout the performance, even while smiling and singing. In subsequent performances I’ve noticed she really cries while performing that piece (composed for a movie), public crying which could make the tears suspect as a prop, but still genuineness there, I think.

I think the following music and performance evokes feelings of the title.

Old Castle By The River, In The Middle of the Forest
