In fact, seeing as how he has mastered several other catchy tunes..

I'd have ordered the CD, 'cept they're BO'd since ... 5/29? Huh.. ??
The Perpetual Motion product is not much matching its very Title!

While Glenn Gould, for me fulfills the very essence of JS's unmatchable legacy, already I prefer Mr. Fleck's renditions to ... any of the various synthesizer versions of some years ago.
Thanks for the tip: (and while I have heard Adler/respect the possibilities of the chromatic versions of this device: please.. No harmonicas. 'k?)

PS: The Russ composer Reinhold Gliére, IIRC composed a Concerto for Balalaika + O. It too was surprising, I thought..
while rife with the dark lugubriousness of some Russ folk songs / I deemed that..
an acceptable mindset for anyone living within times of Stalin + Other psychotic Overlords :-/

She'll be Comin Round the Mountain never sounded like This.

Methinks: Dick Feynman Interesting too, that the high register of the banjo sounds a lot like the balalaika. Anyway, Copland surely would have approved that Hoedown, though possibly left a tad discombobulated.
