Feel free to link any singers and their corresponding notes. Doesn't really matter if it isn't the best note in terms of quality, it just needs to be sorta semi-countable. The current age gap I've set is 50 and above.

These are called harmonics. They aren't even real notes! That means we're playing impossible music!

She did it again this evening, aged 62, though not so sustained: youtu.be/ChPF0Zyeqcs?t=4564 Alex61 I guess the Shrewsbury Folk Festival one would be the better one to consider for Eddi's thread, though the more recent might be better for this thread since she's slightly older?
