Jimi Hendrix On An Acoustic Guitar
An evening pause: There are two clips, with the second beginning at 4:37. This is I think more interesting than good. The first clip is well shot, but it clearly is an unfinished music video because Hendrix himself I think was unsatisfied with his performance. The second is better performed, as it is a improvised performance at what appears to be a party. Regardless, they are worth watching because even when he played below par you can see he is playing at a level above most.

Renaissance – Mother Russia
It’s a Beautiful Day – White Bird
Wayne Henderson & Presley Barker – Black Mountain Rag
Madeleine Peyroux – The Kind You Can’t Afford
An evening pause: Performed live April 4, 2011. Makes a nice contrast with yesterday’s pause. Both unique, well played, and completely different.

The Corrs – Runaway
Yes – Changes
Meaghan Smith & Stadacona Band – It’s Been a Long Long Time

Juice Newton – Angel of the Morning
An evening pause: This was first a hit in 1968 for Merillee Rush & The Turnabouts. Juice Newton brought it back in 1981 and it was a hit again. Both versions are unique and worth listening to.

Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.

Birds of Flame – Open Country Joy
An evening pause: This performance is a tribute to the 1970s art-rock group, Mahavishnu Orchestra. They add a bit of country to the sound, which works surprisingly well. Ignore the bad camerawork and focus on the music, which somehow for me works for the first day of spring.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world
An evening pause: The music is “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who rightly calls this “A moment of serenity from Okinawa.”
The Virginia Gentlemen – Lady in Red
Ides of March – Vehicle
Johnny Cash – Hurt
An evening pause: Normally I prefer live performances. Normally I don’t like music videos edited with pretentious images, often about adolescent angst. This video is none of that. It is Johnny Cash, in his old age, looking back in time.

Fingerstyle Jukebox – We Don’t Talk Anymore
An evening pause: The player is from Estonia, but no where on her youtube page does she give us her name.

An evening pause: The teen-age girls in this audience could have easily been swiped from the audiences the Beatles faced when they first hit the world scene.
