I find it amazing the effort and talent some people will put on Youtube to entertain strangers for presumably no monetary profit. Below is an example. How much effort did it take for first the music and then the CGI to illustrate it?

I've long had a fascination with the under-used Xylophone and especially with its cousin, the rich and mellow tones of the Vibraphone. Red Norvo and George Shearing were favorites of mine growing up. Shearing plays piano, but his quintet used vibes to perfection.

With luck we can sing this with relief if not joy by late tomorrow

The little girl at the beginning of this says it all

I love to see performers who are obviously having as much fun as their audience.

I last saw Peter Paul and Mary a few years before Mary died (2009). It was sad, Mary's spirit was still the same but she had lost her voice. I felt bad afterward, I would have preferred to remember her as she had been

I am not sure why, but in the period of the 60's I blocked artists like Joan Baez and Peter Seeger because of their politics, for some unknown reason I did not associate the same platform to P P & M--despite the fact that they were part of the protest movement. Maybe it was because I was too smitten with Mary to admit that fact

As I went through my own gut wrenching conversion to the peace movement in the 70's I "discovered" an entire group of entertainers that my own bias had prevented me from enjoying---and hearing.

I also became acquainted with PP&M in the mid sixties and did not listen to them through any political filter...I just liked their music and so did most everyone in my barracks...I knew a lot of their songs were concerned with the peace movement, but it didn't matter as much as it did with the other singers of the time...I still have much of their music that I transferred to reel-to-reel tape 45 years ago......Ben

Interesting similarity in thought regarding them.

I have a lot of their music now on CD.

Many of that group were seemingly "good" people--the kinds of people that I would be proud to call my friends. Pete Seeger BTW just turned 92 about a month ago


It was only lately that I became aware that Paul Stookey wrote the "Wedding Song" for the occasion of Peter's wedding--at Peter's request. Paul was also raised a Buddhist--I'm not sure when he converted to Christianity.

I have a lot of their music now on CD.

I did too, along with hundreds of others...Unfortunately they disappeared about the same time as my evil ex-wife...They probably went for two for a dollar in some garage sale......Ben

'Maurice Ravel) Bolero - Sungha Jung ' is one of the very few real talented guitar players. Today we have a rash of crappy-voiced inept untalented guitar strummers playing pure garbage.

[Truckman]

Other than the <ahem> obvious reasons to enjoy the Country Sisters rendition of "Corron Eyed Joe," it may be noted that this country music group is based in the Czech Republic, and has been performing as a group since 1989 bridging the Iron Curtain one redneck at a time......Ben

[Truckman]

Watch yer step going from high brow to low brow, but these two stringmen are legendary talents whether you like cornfield humor or not...I had previously missed this version of the oft-played melody......Ben

[Truckman]

Another early Willie...

[Truckman]

Dan's "veterans" thread reminded me of a group I first heard on the jukeboxes of the gasthausen of West Germany 50 or so years ago...At the risk of invoking an evil spirit long banished from our presence, I'll post this video which contains most of the songs I liked best...I didn't care for their later sounds, but I always enjoyed these......Ben

This is when dancing wasn't just a bunch of jiggling idiots.

[Truckman]

Here are two versions of the same song performed by two young ladies, both barracks favorites where I was stationed in the sixties...I still have both versions on reel-ro-reel tape......Ben
