Can't believe I found a MIDI remake of this classic Yamaha demo song (I know, I'm a nerd).
When the hell did Mike Portnoy re-join Dream Theater?!?! Nobody tells me anything!
This just blew my socks off. And Jordan Rudess adding anti-skid tape to his keyboard is next-level badass!

First saw Take 6 on the Grammys (30 years ago, when the Grammys still kinda mattered) and I initially felt bad for them as they performed right after Manhattan Transfer; within 20 seconds my jaw was on the floor and I was a fan.
Got to see them live at a SLC Jazz Festival many years ago. Both SLC and Park City often pay bands directly and offer free concerts, which is a double-edged sword. The cost is nice, but they often attract folks who are more into "being there" than actual fans of the performer(s). Got to see Poco just once in Park City, and the group right in front of us formed a circle, all facing each other, more interested in talking than in listening (we finally moved to another spot).
This Old Fart Who Yells at Clouds is so thankful for beautifully-shot/sounding Bluray concerts in 5.1; can't do the crowd thing anymore.
After the second watch, the "tape" may have been Smurf band-aids, I can't quite tell.... ☺️
Thought y'all might like some Pete Seeger:
This video just popped up on the YouTube homepage, so I discovered it completely by accident! But at home I have a box set of 6 LPs of Pete Seeger and a few other folk artists. Plus I have many, many individual folk LPs (really need to get to digitizing that stuff so I can have it up here at my university). My parents raised me on a lot of this music, especially Pete Seeger and The Clancy Brothers. I remember as a little kid sitting there endlessly - for hours - listening to this stuff.

Pete's brother Mike was in a band called "The New Lost City Ramblers". I had a number of their albums from Folkway Records. Never forget how heavy they were, felt like slate instead of vinyl
And now, for some Pink Martini:
A few tracks from their album Sympathique (Amado Mio, Andalucia, Never On Sunday, Que Sera Sera, Sympathique, Soledad, Song of the Black Lizard),
and,
from their album Hang On Little Tomato, (Let's Never Stop Falling In Love, Autrefois, U Plavu Zoru, Veronique, Dansez-Vous, Una Notte I Napoli, Hang On Little Tomato, and Song of the Black Swan).

A perennial - and timeless - classic: Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon.
