"His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes."

                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                         Genesis 4:21

 

 

Jubal

Ernst Josephson

 

 

Jubal saw a swan fly

Over the water, high in the sky,

Then he hastily drew his bow.

"Clang", sounded the string. As a gust

The bird, hit by his arrow,

Fell to die on the waves.

 

The sun sank in the same moment,

Purple drowned the heaven's round,

The grove was heard whistling;

And a sweet melodious wind

Softly caressed Jubal's cheek,

Went to ripple the billow.

 

The swan sung: "What lovely sound,

Young man, sprang from your weapon,

When you cruelly shot me --?

String to string you shall bind,

Thus playing for all the world,

Praising the Creator's rule!"

 

Thus Jubal sang: "O white swan,

Each night I return hither

To sing about your death.

Because you put in my breast

The lovely solace of the string playing,

The song on my tongue.

@christopher3393 (OT) some of the most progressive blues recordings out there and OTOH raw acoustic blues of his 'First Recordings', interesting indeed. A propos the former ones, the album that came to mind (the sound of this youtube clip is quite sh...y, in fact it sounds much better) - although it's a very different blues (some even say it's not, CTK was actually quite heavily ostracized by musicians from the blues circles) :

...and not just any bird! 😊

 

I hope everybody remembers that lyrebird can imitate every sound it hears, from a cell phone to a chainsaw.

Just in case - a reminder (check this out, you haven't seen this one!) 9_9

 

 

Meet William Jafta. They called him '12 Animal Sound Man' in this video.

To put it simply he's a lyreman.. 

 

 

Wishing everybody a sound, any-virus-free day! :)

Obviously birds are masters of seduction.

 

 

Only very few humans get close..

 

 

Time for some peacock music..       

 

 

 

                     

                      Wishing everybody an absolutely fantastic weekend!

Through free associations.. - "John Crow" from "Marked For Death" OST.

 

 

BTW in my case it's very hard to think about Steven S (which I actually very rarely do) and reggae and not no remind myself of this one:

 

                                                     

No, this is not him (although who knows what's going on in this guy's head..).
