YouTube Favorites to share.

As some of you already know, I'm a big fan of YouTube. Just the other night, I went there while on the phone with a new girl friend, sharing some favorite music of mine. She was pretty stunned at some of the beautiful music that she'd never heard before--that got me to thinking.
I'm going to list a couple of really great YouTube experiences for you guys and gals to peruse...maybe we can all find new music together. BTW, YouTube is a great place to 'check out' new performers that I read about here, so I can gauge if in general, their particular 'sound' is something I might like.
Here are just a couple to start with--it would be great for everyone to throw in the exact names so we can all share.
Please note--there may be multiple 'versions' so also include the video 'clue' of what picture shows up on the one you're reccommending so we'll all be on the same page.

Nancy Wilson 'Guess Who I Saw Today'
It's the one that shows a black and white of a glass or martini glass on a table...starts in a '50's scene of a husband coming home...Wonderful video and music, with a 'twist'.

Nancy Wilson Cannonball Adderley 'The Masquerede is Over'
The Album cover shows, Nancy in a yellow dress standing next to Cannonball, holding his Alto Sax. No video, but maybe some of the most lyrical piano work I've ever heard by Joe Zawinul.

I'll bow with just this these and wait to hear from others. This should be loads of fun and a great way to help us all share our love of music and performances.

Good listening,

Larry

Andy MacKee playing an incredible harp-guitar

Larry,

I'm pretty sure that the harp-guitar in the McKee video was made by Kathy Wingert, who is generally considered one of the top luthiers working today. If you want more evidence of her status, check out the prices she gets for a straight up flat top acoustic. Oh well, shy of a lottery hit, I don't think I'll ever get the chance to play one myself. IIRC, you're an MBL guy, so you know that drill....

BTW,

Several other luthiers make similar instruments. For example:

Still expensive, but I'd guess that these are a fraction of the price of a Wingert.

"My favorite part is where the bag pipes come in after the main guitar solo."

Not a sentence you see every day ;-)
