I visited the Kelso Dunes on my way back from recording at Joshua
Tree National Park a couple of weeks ago. I climbed most of the way
up the big dune, but they weren't sayin' anything. What are the
conditions that produce singing?
BTW the interpretive sign said it sounded like an airplane. I heard
several of those, but I wasn't fooled.
