How music is made, on the spot, between two musicians who can convey their feelings, through their fingers, into their instrument.
This song doesn't have a name, as it's not a song. It's a jam.
Just a bit of chat before the tune:
Warren and Trey - https://youtu.be/yRtACMIG82Y

Thanks for that!

[ksbruce]

Yeah, she kicks ass. 

Her and Joanne Shaw Taylor are as good as it gets....

I clicked on that, and it turns out I'm already one of her subscribers. For the life of me, I don't remember her. 
Great tune though. Love it!

I sent it to everybody I thought would enjoy it, with the preface of, "This is just.....fun".

Awesome!!

No problem! The Mixed Up Cure album is a must own for me, it was one of the first purchases after buying a turntable. I even bought two so I have a spare copy. https://www.discogs.com/The-Cure-Mixed-Up/master/31938

That OK Go - This Too Shall Pass video and song were brilliant!

Just remembered this one.

Danger Mouse, Daniele Luppi - Two Against One ft. Jack White (sung bu Jack White)
Superbly creative video, really really nice lyrics and song too.

They're really talented> I like their version of "Fly Me to the Moon", especially the bass pizz part at 0:49:

Here's a Danish/Norwegian group called Euzen -  Maria Franz sings in English. Even though I'd rather hear her native language, she's crafty with mine. I think she has an interesting voice. I hope this doesn't rub against any decency standards - "Phobia".

By comparison, here's an old rite from the North of Finland, "Suurin", from the recent album "Lys", by L.E.A.F. - this isn't English. 'Mei suusi suurin' translates to 'I am the greatest wolf'. It seems the older I get, the more I am fascinated with other languages (it's too bad that my brain isn't the language sponge that a young one is).

Staying in the Nordic vein, here's a group from FInland recorded by Bruce Swedien of Michael Jackson 'Thriller' fame. Gjallarhorn.
Unfortunately, they don't have any real videos on Youtube, only their own semi-dormant site.
I suggest checking out 'Suvetar' in their video list here (you have to scroll down a little and also wait while the video downloads):
http://www.gjallarhorn.com/video.html
If you search for them on Youtube, you will get lots of fantastically recorded stuff, but with still pictures, not videos.

Thanks. I liked that so much that I ordered a couple of their CDs.

I hope Rimfaxe 2006 was one of them. That was the one mixed (not recorded, as I said above) by Bruce Swedien. The recording engineer (and maker of some of the microphones used) was Martin Kantola who still is active making microphones, including the only microphone that has Bruce Swedien's signature on each owner's certificate. Bruce thinks they are fabulous. http://www.gjallarhorn.com/technical.html
Gjallarhorn's website seems to have become dormant around 2007, as if they had disbanded around then. Actually, looking further it seems they disbanded around then but re-formed to tour in 2011 with an album due to come out in 2013, but information on them is difficult to come by.
This seems to be Martin's current page. http://www.nu47.com/
He does not seem to have much of a web presence, like Gjallarhorn. Maybe Finland has a lot of distractions and they all have real lives!

[kevin360]

Indeed it is, along with "Sjofn". Thanks again! It's be a couple of weeks or so, since they are coming from Germany, but I get a package from Germany about once every 2-3 weeks. Any day now, a shipment should be arriving which includes Irfan's "The Eternal Return" and Sowulo's "Alvenrod". The Internet is flippin' awesome.

For some more traditional Nordic folk, Triakel is very, very good.

I'm fairly competent (though, definitely not fluent) in German and I love singing along with Til, although I only really like a few of Rammstein's songs. This one, as a simple piano and vocal piece, is my favorite.

I think must have been posted before, but have you seen 'Thunderstruck' by Finnish band Steve'n'Seagulls?

"Farm Machine" is a fun listen!
