What kind of music you hear while you trade?

it's good to know there is in FF on thread only about music

We all provide music from our era as it was important to us then (and now). There is no best era, genre or offerings. Just what we like the most, ourselves



I’ve listened to plenty of Bonnie’s version of this terrific imo John Prine song.

I like her phrasing of the word “Montgomery” on this version best lol .



1974. Bonnie Raitt - Angel From Montgomery

Yes indeed.....this is the only thread where no trolling, no fighting, no egomaniacs, no nonsense of any kind occurs. Now if only the rest of FF (and the whole world at large) would just relax and enjoy music, this would be a much nicer place!!

Bonnie Raitt has the mojo....and always has had. She's great.....

I may have posted this before, but it doesn't matter.......

A talented young lady here.......

I loved that Indiara had a full kit of “harps” at her disposal that I saw during the clip.


(Why call it a harp though? Tracked down this piece on the web.

Well both harmonica and harp are borrowed names, and neither one is the only correct name.

The harmonica was invented during the Romantic era of Beethoven and Schubert, a time when garden décor included the Aeolian harp, a stringed harp that you set outdoors, where the wind makes the strings vibrate.

Even though the harmonica has reeds sounded by a player’s breath instead of strings sounded by the wind, some early harmonica makers referred to their instruments as Aeolian harps by way of poetic association.

Early harmonica makers in German-speaking countries used the term mundharfe (mouth harp).

Still others called it mundharmonika (mouth harmonica), borrowing the name of the glass harmonica, which is played with a moistened fingertip rubbed on the rim of a glass.

Meanwhile, American books were comparing the harmonica to a harp as early as 1830, and the introduction of a model called the French Harp in the 1880s may have helped to popularize calling it a harp in the American South.)

Fascinating concept & performance that she has thought out.

Looks like a 6 track machine (but they moved the camera so fast I had trouble counting lol).

Wonderful percussion to kick it all off, and I had no idea where she was headed with it. Excellent.

Here is a little more from Indiara. I have this same backing track here so I have learned to play what she's playing (more or less) on my electric guitar. She sounds better though!!

On the bottom clip is Charlie Musselwhite and you'll notice his silver briefcase at his feet. That case contains all his 'harps' and it travels the world with him. I was lucky enough to meet him after a performance here in NZ and what a nice, mellow and genuine guy he is. Like any harp player, he has one for each key, but he also has others that he just likes!!!

That's interesting info you discovered about the harmonica. When I was younger they were called 'mouth organs' and I used to have one in the key of A and one in the key of E. I don't know what happened to them. I guess the naming has gone the way of the guinea pig....which is neither from Guinea nor is a pig...
