Madre Luna – Aelfheim
The Seekers – I’ll Never Find Another You
Isn’t it Romantic?
An evening pause: From the 1932 film Love Me Tonight, starring Maurice Chevalier. Stay with it, because it gets quite entertaining. And don’t you want to know what happens next?
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Nanci Griffith – Love at the Five and Dime
An evening pause; Hat tip Tom Biggar, who made me realize that I had never previously posted any Nanci Griffith on BtB. Shameful!
Fourplay – Bali Run
Karine Polwart – Follow the Heron home
John Jorgenson – Red On Red
Joe Cocker – The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress
An evening pause: In honor of Joe Cocker’s passing last month. No visuals, but the performance from his 1974 album “I can stand a little rain” is sterling.
Fred Astaire & Barrie Chase – Miss Otis Regrets
Sting – Every breath you take
Paul Kelly – Careless
Mary Black and Joan Baez – Ring Them Bells
The Chieftains & friends – Give the fiddler a dram
Rod Stewart – Auld Lang Syne
The Fendertones – Sloop John B
An evening pause: I like how they had recorded it over a period of months, and had an element of silliness in how they taped different sections. And the music is grand as well!
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Charles Mokotoff – Bach: Sheep may safely graze
An evening pause: Performed live November 13, 2010 in Springfield, Virginia. The aria might be one of Bach’s most beautiful, but the playing here is astonishing. Watch his fingers.
I also like the deeper meaning of the title: It is what we all should strive for: allowing people to live their lives in peace and joy.
Home Free – Angels We Have Heard On High
Newsong – The Christmas Shoes
Sue Richards & Maggie Sansone – The Ash Grove
Geoffrey Castle – Ring Christmas Bells
Colin Hay – Goodnight Romeo/Prison Time
An evening pause: The first piece is an incredible acoustical guitar performance. And the second piece is as good.
Hat tip to Danae.
The John Wright Band – The Lock Keeper
Simon & Garfunkel – American Tune
An evening pause: Performed live in New York, 1981.
I’ve posted a different Paul Simon performance of this song previously, but considering what SpaceX is about to try to do with its first stage, I think it appropriate to post it again. As Simon wrote,
We came on a ship they called the Mayflower
We came on a ship that sailed the moon
We came in the age’s most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune.
The Alan Parsons Project – Eye in the sky
Simon & Garfunkel – Homeward Bound
Martin Frost – Ava Maria
Luciano Pavarotti & Lionel Richie – The Magic of Love
Willie Nile & Bruce Springsteen – One Guitar
An evening pause: Hat tip Keith Douglas, who noted to me that Nile is “fairly well known around the NYC club scene. I’ve seen him live maybe 3 times, but he never brought this friend to the events I attended.”
I like watching how much fun these guys have playing this song.
