In addition to the above print sources, I listened to the following recordings of throat singing:
60 Horses in my herd. Huun-huur-tu. Shanachie Records(1993).
Tuva – Voices from the center of Asia. Various Artists. Smithsonian Folkways(1992)
And various online harmonic singing videos from www.overtone.ru

The instructional videos were created using a standard digital camera (Panasonic FZ-3) and Apple Quicktime.

Thanks to Dr. Hooper for the enthusiasm, advice and support and to Thor and his Dad for the great reference article and to the fine folks at technical support for their incredibly diligent and prompt replies to my requests for help.

Thanks to Mark Schumacher in Reference at the Jackson library for help with the citation style. Thanks to the music libraries of UNCG, UNCW and especially NCSA for loans of music and other library materials.

Thanks to Greg Dailey for the loaner on the tripod and my wife for the loan of the digital camera...

And lastly, very special thanks to Meir Zavitz for posting the Tuvan singers at youtube.com and to the singers themselves for allowing their amazing talent to be shared in this way.
