Donovan

He has far more to offer than "Mellow Yellow".

As Good as it Gets

This video doesn't have the best sound, but it is the best video I can find of one of my favorite songs of all time. Classic early Dead.

Good for a Laugh

It might just be that I didn't get any sleep last night because of work, but I was crying watching this video. This is the Swiss Finance Minister speaking in parliament about regulations on the import of cured meats when he began convulsing with laughter at the unintelligible bureaucratic language in his report. I love this guy!

Neil Young

Amber and I went to see Neil last month at a theater in Minneapolis. He was incredible. A once in a lifetime experience. Here are some classics.




More Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons

These guys always make me happy. Beautiful music full of emotion. Enjoy!






WARNING: The next song contains the "f"word in the chorus. If that bothers you, you can still listen, just turn the volume down at a particular part in the chorus after the band sings "But it was not your fault but mine, And it was your heart on the line, I really f***ed it up this time . . ." It's worth it.

Ben Sollee

I absolutely love this guy! These aren't my favorite versions of these songs, but they are great introductions for anyone who has never heard him before. Enjoy!

Silvio Rodriguez

I absolutely love this guy, but I've never met another person in the United States who has even heard of him, and the majority of persons to whom I introduce his music don't like him--so if you don't enjoy the videos, you are not alone. He is a Cuban folk singer with a severe leftist leaning (Several of his most famous songs glorify Ernesto "Che" Guevara, including the first video posted here.) Amazing voice! Enjoy!
