Here are four examples of Saw singing between a man and a woman. Texts are improvised and there is an element of challenge between the singers as they ask each other questions and set rhyming challenges for each other. This recording was made in the studio of Thailand Theological Seminary for the weekly Saturday-night radio broadcast of Amney Show, the musical troupe organized by Amnuey Kalampat (pictured at right), who introduces the musical pieces. The two singers in this reel are from Muang Prao เมืองพร้าว, about 50 km away from Chiang Mai
