Singing inside an empty grain bin: no reverb needed

Todays Sound of the Day on CBC's program, As It Happens, is of:
a young woman on a farm, under the big skies of Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. Catherine Lewins was explaining to city folks how they were missing out on something that she had a passion for -- something that could only be done inside a steel grain bin.


     Actually, Lewans (whose name is misspelled on the CBC's web site) is a popular singer in Saskatchewan with a number of local bookings to her credit as well as a decent voice. Too bad that in her facebook profile she seems to wear her religion on her sleeve. Oh well.
     Her youtube video is a reminder that you can get excellent reverb without any digital signal processing at all, provided your recording studio will accommodate the erection of an empty grain silo.
