Monday music: Gunhild Carling does... well, you just have to see it; and a bonus
The ridiculously talented Gunhild Carlin in an entry just perfectly designed for this blog (though not, perhaps, for every reader). Make sure you watch the whole.
I wish I could find high-quality videos of Carling showcasing these abilities, but she doesn't seem to have hit it big in YouTube-able terms yet.

Wow!
Agreed. I think that will be the consensus.

Wow!
I thought the blues bagpipes were amazing but then I saw the 2nd video...
Talk about multi-talented! Woo-hoo!
I think if the clip of Carling playing the trumpet balanced on her lips while she slaps the bass doesn't drop the jaw, there's a serious cynicism issue.
Wow. That made MY lips hurt. And lungs. And fingers. Wow.
"playing the trumpet balanced on her lips while she slaps the bass"
I'm pretty sure I've seen that before at SeaWorld in San Diego.
I used to have dreams I could do that, but alas. Perhaps I have too many distractions in my life?
Okay, then you have to check out when she plays 2 trumpets simultaneously..., oh no wait, 3 trumpets simultaneously and then a second later plays the banjo with a trumpet straight up in the air.

There are scarcely words. Wow comes close...
Thought the bagpipes sounded more like a cross between a saxophone and harmonica towards the end, then watched the second video. Wow...just...wow.
And, she tap dances!
Did somebody say, "Wow!" yet?
If not: Wow!
I liked the second video better than the first...but that's only because I like to hear things on pitch. (It bugs me sometimes when I hear notes just slightly flatter than they should be.) But she is one amazing women! I never knew you can play the bagpipes like a saxophone! :)
Yes, it IS nice when musicians can can musiciaficate without being auto-tuned.
(Sorry...I meant "woman".)
Another "wow"! She is the epitome of Monday music!
Pffft, this is nothing.
Why, I once knew a guy who knew a guy who could play 4 trombones and a sousaphone simultaneously while riding a calliope on a tightrope across Niagara Falls, pulling an organ grinder with a dancing monkey.
...Or maybe not. She is very talented.

Whoa! That's entertainment!
whoa! That's Entertainment!!
