Faithful Forever - Jessica Dragonette as Princess Glory from Gulliver's Travels 1939

The Percy Owens Trio, live at the Wellspring Communion in San Francisco circa 1978. I'm playing swing 5-string banjo, my late brother Kilo on the string bass, the late great Percy Owens on clarinet as his alto sax was in the pawn shop at the time. No pictures of Percy, we were too poor for cameras and film.

What do hummingbirds sound like? Here's five minutes of pure hummingbird sounds in the big city of San Diego. I've been feeding hummingbirds for many years and now there are dozens of birds "fighting" over the eight holes in the bird feeder. Makes for quite a ruckus at times, I just love their sounds. At least two breeds are represented here. Anna's and Rufous hummingbirds.

Jamming With Dad

Made entirely from hummingbird recordings (plus a squawk from a Raven) recorded on the AKAI MPC Live Standalone.
Samples recorded on the ZOOM H2n under the hummingbird feeder.
I put the Zoom under the feeder for 27 minutes to capture these 42 samples. Enjoy.
