      Wonder if she can still sing?

                        Ahh. Went down a "rabbit hole" (pun intended). I have hear some of their songs before.

                        I recognize one of their songs from a bluegrass artist that I like - Molly Tuttle

                        Link to video

                        (I actually like the original version better LOL)

                        (thought it was funny that the video above was not a "controlled" environment. Random people just walking in and out)

                          A lot hard miles during a lot of those 85 years.

                          There was something about her voice that appealed to me. Maybe it was the tremolo. On the other hand it might have been the likes of Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Kantner, Jack Cassady and Marty Balin who made her sound great. Don’t know.

                            @taiwan_girl To further tangent... this trailer is nearly a 10/10 (I love trailers btw...) and is a fantastic use of this song, for obvious reasons if you know The Matrix movies. The movie itself? I watched it... started out confused, then entertained, then meh. But the trailer... so good.

                              @89th I have heard of the Matrix movies but have not seen any of them.

                              Anyway, making trailers is quite an art. Read about a guy whose job it is to make trailers. And he actually makes quite a bit of money doing it.

                                The first is great. It set the bar for sci-fi movies really high.

                                Stop watching after that.

                                  That San Francisco sound. Yeah, her voice was something else. Great range and authoritative.

                                    Probably for the best, although the 2nd movie by itself has some of the best action scenes you'll ever see. But yeah the story evolves and gets complex in the sequels. It makes sense, but the first movie can standalone.

                                    What else? The first movie were directed by the Wachowski brothers. Somehow they became the Wachowski sisters after that.
