I hit the jackpot: someone recorded Ralph Stanley performing O Death in concert. I caught him several years ago (on my second attempt: he was supposed to perform at the Grand Ol’ Opry, and I drove 5 hours to see him, but he canceled) but he was clearly running on fumes. Definitely something I wish I’d understood when I was younger: find musical giants and see them live before they’re gone.

Here's a video of him performing it live that I found with a YouTube search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmRWj7gJEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmRWj7gJEU But it's presumably not the same one that you saw, since it doesn't show any signs of being an amateur or mobile device recording, and wouldn't have been crawled for the IMG_0001 site. Speaking of the theme of that song, and since we were just talking about Borges here in in another thread, compare his story "The Secret Miracle"! http://secondarylaresources.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/4/7/10473434/the_secret_miracle_by_jorge_luis_borges.pdf http://secondarylaresources.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/4/7/10473...

  Thanks for sharing that riveting performance. And, Borges is always intersting.
