Come'on, Perky, click it!  It's only 1:43 long!   :-) :popcorn:

Perky made it 20 seconds, but I had to bail out at 18.

You'd be correct.  :tongue: :rotf:

Since I see there's a couple of lurking primitives in here and we've drifted to Johnny Cash, I snapped a shot of my most recent Cash acquisition, picked up for under twenty-five cents, so the Ebay primitives can drool a little on their keyboards:

Remember, I'm no music critic, my exposure to the thing being rather, uh, severely limited, if non-existent at times.

Anyway, did Johnny Cash do anything as awesome as "I Walk the Line"?  It seems to me that'd be hard to top.

What did you enjoy the most about " Walk The Line"?  The rhythm?  If I knew what you "heard" about it that you liked so much, I or someone else here might be able to suggest something else of his.

Yeah, I did wax rhapsodically about it, when I first heard it some several weeks, a couple of months, ago.

For those who aren't familiar with my case, franksolich is deaf (born that way), but "hears" primitively via the conduction of sound through the bones, rather than from the air into the ear-drums.  Computer technology plus the creative efforts of friends recently made it possible for me "hear" better than I've ever "heard" before.  It's not perfect, and no hearing person would put up with it, but I'm delighted with it.  One takes what one can get.

As mentioned at the time, what I liked best about "I Walk the Line" is the tone, or the sense, of piston-rods on a railway steam locomotive moving back and forth in a steady rhythm.....a movement which incidentally matches the theme behind the piece, steady, resolute.

I find I prefer, generally, an understated repetitive grinding sound, which is why I usually stick with ancient and medieval music, or music played using simple instruments.

Don't laugh, but for me, this is the epitome, the best music an possibly be:

I see what you mean.  I'm glad you shared that, since it gives me an idea of what you "hear".   

Cash actually sung a lot of train ballads, and as such, so many his songs have that rhythmic pulsing that sounds like, well, train wheels clacking down a track.  "Orange Blossom Special", "Hey, Porter", "Johnny Yuma", and "Don't Take Your Guns To Town" would be my recommendations, if you are so inclined to pursue them. 

It was very serendipitous of you to land on his music, of all there is out there to hear, since it works so well for you.

There's a box set of Cash's stuff that exists.  I think I have it in my music collection.  I'll look for it.

Which reminds me--I need to get the latest Springsteen box set.  I can't stand the guy's politics, but I love his music.
