When I was languishing in recovery after a failed valve surgery, I realized I needed one thing to lift my spirits. My wife brought in my old Ipod and I got the Led out.

Music from World Musician Paul Winter

Wolf Eyes - Paul Winter Consort
(with real wolf calls)


I saw him at Carnegie Hall in the late 70’s. He brought a 4 month old timber wolf on stage.
Had the audience howl, to get the wolf to howl. And then played music in sync with the wolf’s howling. Was fantastic to watch

Midnight / Minuit - by Paul Winter

Minuit is adapted from an African folk song. Like a sweet lullaby…

Waterwheel - by the band “Oregon”

yes, this is just good therapy. Led can do that to you.

When I had surgery and was dealing with pain I listened to Bob Dylan . I don't know why it worked, but I'm thinking another part of the brain is activated, who knows. But it was so helpful.
I also found Music for Healing on You Tube and that was helpful before sleep.

I hope you are doing better.

Thank you for introducing me to this artist! I love the sound, I can feel the music inside of me.

I googled the artist and it seems he is playing with Chuck Lamb in Saratoga
Springs on August 23rd and 24th at Caffe Lena. I may just have to treat myself.

What a wonderful discovery!!

Joni Mitchell, a classic.

Natalie Merchant with or without the 10,000.

yes, he is wonderful. Must be in his mid-80s by now.

A friend of mine was college roommates with a cello player, from their circle.

In addition to the Paul Winter Consort, there was a group that split off from them, called "Oregon" (a lot of them went to the University of Oregon, in Eugene, growing up).

I included a link to one of their songs.

I know Paul Winter used to do concerts at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. Probably around the holidays.

Massively, massively talented musician.

Was trying to come up with some more ideas for you. Not many quite like Paul Winter.

There is Yasmin Levy, a Sephardic Israeli singer (with amazing pipes)...

Azam Ali is wonderful. Her album Portals of Grace is very nice. She sings a bunch of medieval melodies. Haunting, beautiful

Well, you know, there is Pat Metheny, he's done some wonderful stuff. Married? Play this for your wife:

Pat Metheny - Beatles Song "And I Love Her"


Carlos Santana has done some very beautiful, very mellow songs. Moonflower and Aquamarine are two.

Momma was a coloratura. I still love opera.

here's Pavarotti doing Ave Maria, right in the heart of his career, when he was at the height of his voice. As a kid, I actually saw this...mom practicing and the crystal started to shatter from her voice. We had to wrap the surviving crystal in linen napkins and put away in a drawer!!! The walls used to vibrate!!

Luciano Pavarotti - Ave Maria, Notre Dame Cathedral, Montreal 1978


my mom used to sing the Ave Maria (I forget if it was the Schubert?) at the local churches for weddings...

Anyway, a few ideas...

Natalie Merchant with or without the 10,000.

Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Don Alias

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - basically a jazz-rock fusion piece...

Natalie Merchant - NPR Tiny Desk Concert

I used to book bands. So I have sympathy for the band guys who get left behind, when the lead singer leaves. But, Natalie's "Maniacs" pals were absolutely not in her league. Pretty much had to leave them behind. Amazing voice. Wonderful.
