Always hits the heart strings this one!

The "Walkie Talkie" you hear on this track is the actual recording taken from the camp at the time; Translated it is roughly;

I'm over the big gray tower. I'm not far. I'm not far away
- Hang on, Itso (Short for Hristo), come. They come to you, hold on.
Stefcho, I'm not in camp five, I'm not in camp five. I-
- Do you see your fifth camp ... the tent? "
I can not see him from here. I am on the yellow belt.
- You're a great man, do not fall asleep!" You are bulgarian! Everything is OK, people run for you. Please do not fall asleep! DO NOT FALL ASLEEP!!!


On April 20 1984 Prodanov ascended Everest via West ridge. He was the sixth man to climb Everest solo, the 13th without oxygen and the eight to climb west ridge (59 ascent, 159th climber on the top) . He remained on the summit for a half hour and began the descent down the west ridge proper, which had not been done before. At 9:10 P. M. he contacted Base Camp and said he would make a camp because of darkness. The following day, April 21, Prodanov had voice contact with Base Camp although his voice was weak and the words could not be understood. At 7:45 a click of the switch of his walkie-talkie was recorder for the last time. No sign of him was ever heard again.
A strong emotion carries the sacrifice of his friend - alpinist Lyudmil Yankov, who joins the rescue mission to seek Hristo. He does not give up, despite the difficulties.

Lyudmil Yankov still today holds the record for the quickest ever ascent in the Death Zone of Everest as he raced towards his friend in efforts to save him, sadly without success.

Just 'Cos You Can Don't Mean You Should from Joe Bonamassa's newest studio album-Redemption. Great blues yet again from one of the hardest working men in music today!
He has done some great stuff with Beth Hart.

Yes sir! We saw Beth Hart with her band at a small venue last year. The lady is instrumentally very talented as well as a wonderful and soulful singer.
 
Feeling a bit international today.
