Thanks, Pelv and Honest1. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
Pelv, I believe I have the Lemon Piper's doing that song on some compendium CD, although it isn't the highest fidelity, to my recollection. I'll have to check.
Honest1, I received numerous helpful posts over at the Audio Asylum (and for which I have expressed my thanks to the posting folks, just as here.) The folks at AA referenced some recordings of Arabic ethnic music as prominently featuring such instruments (among other percussive types), which ties directly into your recommendation. Good call! Thank you. I'll definitely look into that area, as I normally enjoy ethnic music with which I am unfamiliar. It expands my musical horizons.
Again, thanks to you both for your help here. As of now, with multiple recordings referenced, I have enough for what I need. I have accomplished my goal. And the well-meaning and sharing help and direction I received from all those who posted responses in earnest is very deeply appreciated. Thanks for your time and efforts.
(Of course, what follows next does not apply to either of you, obviously.)
As to the other posts, they were 'enlightening', to say the least. A number of audiophiles had told me a while ago that the 'Gon was (unfortunately) mostly filled with arrogant know-nothings who will jerk you off, and that Audio Asylum had the decent people who didn't dick you around, and more importantly, who actually knew what they were talking about.
So, let's see: 15 answers on the 'Gon, two of which were serious, the 13 others perfectly defining the concept of 'inanity'. WOW! That's better than 80% pure assininity. Yep, sure looks like my audiophile friends were right: this place has WAY MORE than its share of sphincter-esque folks! Apparently, these certain members make the 'Gon a proctologist's delight! (Absolutely NO fault of the 'Gon, of course, mind you. Just certain of its members.)
Sadly, the 'Gon would appear to be NO place for someone honestly seeking helpful information. I had really hoped otherwise. How terribly disappointing that so much potential goes so unfulfilled. Trust me, I've learned my lesson. I won't waste my time posting here again.
However, I just had to chuckle when my wife read a few of the 'responsive' posts and perceptively asked, "These guys actually waste their time writing this drivel? Don't these morons have a life?" Apparently not.
Again, all of this reminds me of grade school antics. Grow up, children.
BTW: To me, this is now a dead thread. Don't waste your time responding, as I won't be reading it! Tell it to the wall --or the Marines-- if you have to, it'll be more effective. I don't get sucked into that garbage of back-and-forth exchange. Excoriate the clowns and move on, that's my motto. (If you even know what 'excoriate' --or 'inanity', for that matter-- actually mean!)
