Musicians?

[Otohiko]

I'm still not a musician, but I grew up in the house of one. And not just a part-time musician, that's all my dad does for a living and has done for a living for pretty much as long as I've been around (except brief stints as a janitor and preacher, of all things). All the more impressive considering that he is completely independent and does not have an active agent, and that he is my only parent with income.

And like, I've not checked my dad's youtube channel for a few weeks... did so today, and holy crap has he ever put up a lot of new stuff. I'm really impressed by his collabs with a bunch of random local musicians lately.

Here's a selection just to give you an idea of his musical range. Most of these, ironically, are recorded in "my room" (i.e. the room I stay in when I visit parents):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtXWjYV_UTk - Flamenco-type stuff with a Spanish percussionist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLR-IcpHp2k - Baroque (solo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6-7LKeY4MY - Ambient electronic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jROBY2R__Ho - Russian romance (solo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgspOpTMaSE - Renaissance song (the singer, ironically, is my former landlady)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1FgRpSlgh8 - Jazz-type stuff (solo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_buSNbFzBs - weird "oriental" improv stuff with a sax/flute player

It's rare for me to say it (especially given how I often rage at my parents' pressure and lack of understanding), but...

MAN, I REALLY THINK MY DAD IS FREAKING COOL.

You basically took the words out of my brain.
