    This page has the 6 most popular episodes. For a long time I have thought that putting individual members of a band in seperate booths to record their part of a song has caused recorded music to lose some of the soul it had back in the 50's and 60's. But, when individual musicians that have never met play their part listening to the rest of the "band" over earphones. And, their booth is a corner of the world thousands of miles from their fellow band members. Something magical happens.
    Maybe what makes it special is that they are all "real" musicians. Not some hype from a record label (can you say GAGA, Madonna, etc.)

        Bob, I just saw it. Yes, that is crazily cool. I guess I'm not enough of a musician (talent limited to putting the LP on the turntable & the CD in the drive) to understand how a person just picks up all the intangibles that allow them to play and sing along like that. But I certainly like the results.

        Go Grandpa Elliot! :T

                Listen/watch video #8 "War/No More Trouble" and see if it doesn't make the hairs on your head stand up. It did it to me. W O W.

                They did cheat a little bit on this one. Some guy named Bono was singing with them.

                DVD/CD combo on order. C'mon snail mail.

                      I got excited enough about the project that I called a friend of mine that I have worked with a few times. He recorded most of Merle and Doc Watsons albums.
                      He also loved it and we are going to make a sample video and send it in with our resumes. We know a incredible couple that would fit right in with the other musicians.
