That is an instrument I have only recently become aware of---and it seems to me to be just a bit unwieldy---but of beautiful tone!
Here is a singer that I just became aware of as well. I first heard Helen Traubel sing (at least as I can recall) in a broadcast recently on PBS about JFK. There was a inauguration gala that was never broadcast because of a significant snow storm. PBS recently aired the recordings of that event and Ms. Traubel sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic marvelously. Unfortunately, this is only a short recording of her voice and I could not find the recording I heard on PBS.

Once again, I got distracted by the right side of the screen:

I just saw something I'd never noticed before at minute 1:24...There's an Airman Deuce as crew chief, while two Staff Sergeants are standing by with fire extinguishers...I never saw an NCO in my life that lifted anything heavier than a coffee cup...
I think Fred will confirm that......Ben

Now, here's a treat — Chris Stapleton singing his own "Either Way." To think, this guy was the songwriter of many other artist's hits before we knew he was a terrific singer too.

Yeah, I know, that scruffy look cowboy affectation is getting really tired, but just listen to what he's doing here. When I first saw him perform this tune I thought the chorus was, "...you can stay or you can go, I will love you either way..." after listing all the ways their relationship was going wrong and thought how sweet, until I bought the song and listened closer to find the song really was dark. I love it either way.
