I may feel sick, but this makes me feel better...

This may be the best cover I have ever heard of this song. No, it may be the best version I have ever heard, bar none!

Wow, had to play that a second time, so I could capture a copy ! Thanks !! But what are those ladies standing up front playing ? I know it's a traditional Korean instrument, but what is it called ? Looks like a zither on steroids.

That is a very beautiful cover. Some songs are just meant for classical arrangement covers. The London Sympony did a beautiful version of Great Gig in the Sky. While it is very hard to beat the original improvised vocals, the violin wasn't too bad.

Riders On The Storm is also a ripe song for classcal coverage. Nigel Kennedy's cover here.

Caz, I enjoyed that very much. It's so interesting hearing American music from another cultures ears. I'm forwarding this to my kids band teacher as he will enjoy it!

It's called a Gayageum, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayageum

OleBoy, that's Brit music I'm afraid. :>)

Penzoil3, those are an extreme variation of a Korean Harp. Check out this hip-hop Korean production doing Canon in D using them. Not much into this kind of music, but just to show you the instrument again.

Urk! What a horrible insult to an absolutely wonderful piece of music!
