Show Me! Music / Musicians/ Instruments

Lost some color and resolution getting down to 100KB
Correction: lost a LOT in terms of color and resolution.

Some 1960's "selection stamps"

US issue, produced on silk paper.

Not really sure about this one,

China :
A musical stone,
can be a large stone, or a combination
of stones that are hung by rope and struck with a mallet.

I welcome any correction.

One places one of these between the fleshy parts of the
base of the thumb, like praying, cups the hands,
and blows through the membrane causing it to vibrate.

This is called playing the gum leaf.

Any Aussie worth his salt, can play the gum leaf.

Usually accompanied by a gentleman, with his mouth open
at certain degrees whilst tapping his skull
with a spoon, making the base "dock dock" noises.

As you can see, we have lots of cheap fun in Australia.

Thanks Barb!

Thanks everyone! I'm certain there are lots more and I"m liking your covers a LOT!
