		<description>You asked for &quot;recommendations for where to shop, cheaply and uniquely&quot;:

Well, here is something which is uniquely NYC:



Musical Saw &amp; Bells - hear an angel sing



For a unique Christmas musical treat listen to the heavenly sound of the musical saw with the joyous sounds of English handbells and pitched cowbells, performed by critically acclaimed musical saw &amp; bell player Natalia Paruz at www.cdBaby.com/paruz



Here is what some people have said about this unique CD:



Peter Schickele, aka PDQ Bach said:

&quot;Natalia Paruz not only plays the saw beautifully (the idea of playing a carpenter&#039;s saw seems funny, but the sound itself is haunting), she&#039;s also a terrific musician.  This recording displays the carols in new and refreshing settings.&quot;



Zubin Mehta, conductor of the Israel Philharmonic has said: &quot;Natalia is the best saw player I&#039;ve ever worked with&quot;. 



Garrison Keillor,  of &#039;A Prairie Home Companion&#039; has called her &quot;Our official musical saw player&quot;. 



William Bolcom, Pulitzer Prize winning composer said: &quot;Amazing and quite musical in the expressiveness she was able to get from a tableful of bells. Brava!&quot; &quot;The musical saw numbers are particularly striking.&quot;
