Thread Name: Today is our Independence day (Iceland)
Subject: RE: Today is our Independence day (Iceland)
I have just celebrated Iceland's Independence Day in the best possible way at a concert by Bára Grímsdóttir and Chris Foster performing as Funi, singing in parallel fifths and playing fidla, langspil and mildly amplified egg slicer.

Morgunbaen, a 17th century hymn, is one of the most sublime vocal renditions I have ever heard. And Chris did his epically famous Lord Bateman.

Tonight I'll fall asleep happily.
