It's Just Another YouTube Saturday....

I went to a FREE concert last night. Truly, and really free. And no, it wasn't one of my kids playing or singing, it was Grammy Award winning Mark O'Connor with his Appalachian Waltz Trio. You know, we sit at home most of the time, scrolling through zillions of channels showing absolutely nothing while stuff like this is going on right in our back yard. I was thrilled to take advantage of it. O'Connor has a way of melding musical styles in his compositions so you sometimes are unsure. Is it classical? Chamber music? Bluegrass? Whatever you choose to call it, there was great fiddling in Andover last night and I'm glad I didn't miss it. The following video is Mark playing solo, but it gives you an idea of what we heard.

While I was searching around old youtube, I found Mr. O'Connor playing with James Taylor on this video of Old Blue. How could I not share that with you:

Then I found this video of the last encore, just like at the concert I saw last summer, James singing You Can Close Your Eyes. I can't wait to sing this to my grand-babies (not too soon though).

Then, for the best fun ever, there is this one. The guitar part only of that song so you can sing along like a stah! Belt it out!

Sitting here in thought
I need to write a haiku
Can't think of a thing

Three hundred forty-seven to go. Some of you might be approaching the email deleted number, but nobody has gone over!
