 The Tunnel Singer
 

This one is a personal favorite. One Saturday a friend and I took a drive up in the Marin Headlands National Park intending to hike near the old abandoned fortifications which have a spectacular view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. As we were starting out from where we parked I heard incredible music coming from the entrance of one of the long concrete tunnels that lead to the fortifications. Upon investigation I discovered The Tunnel Singer, also know as Lee Ellen Schoemaker. Lee sings accompanied only by a Tibetan "singing bowl" and the incredible acoustics of the tunnel  Her sound reminds me of Gregorian chant, or some Asian and American Indian music. It is deeply spititual and pure magic!
