Well, it's May...the month in which summer vacation begins. We relax and some of us travel. 24 Students and I will go to Chile, but that sounds so prosaic compared to Doc Ritchie's planned trip to Mongolia. So here's some Mongol mood music. I know Doc will bring back some cool music.

It's funny how we think of Genghis Khan. Last week a job applicant proudly told me how the blood of the mighty Chingiz ran in his veins. (Lots of ways to spell his name.)

Here's a nice piece of Mongol rock from the group Altan Urag, from the soundtrack of the film "Mongol," about the youth of our hero.

Lest you think all they do is rock, here's something a bit more traditional.

Mongolian singing is characterized by throat singing, of which there are three types. A popular group in the west is Huun Huur Tu, here giving it their best effort.
