  1. Solid. Are there any gospel performers in the DC area I'm still overlooking who are first-rate?

  2. From my Orthodox Christian buddy:

    Subject: Post-Byzantine scat

    Passing it along just for the sheer exoticness of the sound and sight, especially the interesting echoing and the very rare hats.

    A very good 13th-century Orthodox Christian scat, more technically called "terirem," a term so obscure that neither Wikipedia nor Orthodox Wiki have articles on it, yet a genre so beloved that there are loads of YouTubes of various teriremata. Performed at the National Library of Greece in 2006 in very cool authentically styled post-Byzantine robes and hats that I've seen before only in icons.

    Pump up the volume.
