Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you
Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
That was interesting. First time I had seen that done, up close, and continuous like that. Let me see if I get this right.
He’s blowing air into the bag almost continuously – taking regular breaths, and the bag not seeming to change in size. Apparently the air is blown through a check valve that prevents it from coming back out from where he is blowing it in.
Then, completely separate from the blowing in part, he is compressing the bag with his arm which then forces the air in the bag out through the open holed clarinet like part which produces the (reeded?) sound.
OK, then what are the 3 vertical “spindle” like things and what is their purpose?
Silly me. I looked them up. Apparently the thing is preset to a specific Key, and the the 3 spindles are “drone” pipes with reeds that play a continuous sound as like a background. Then the pipe he is actually playing with his fingers produces the melody part – so, 2 diff sounds going on at the same time.

Here you can see some eye candy named Ally playing Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” though I’m not sure of what she is actually doing and if she is actually real.
Dam AI, has muddied the water so bad you can’t tell what’s real and what’s not.

For those that have asked what I look like – you know who you are – my hair was once a shade redder than Ally’s. Couldn’t tell anymore. (she’s a bit over-produced and over-acted, eh?)
Does that make it gray now?
