I've been following Reina Del Cid on YouTube for quite a while now and look forward to their Sunday morning posts. This morning they did an informal and unannounced live streaming concert from home, taking requests in real-time from viewer comments.
I'm posting the link but if you want to watch I suggest clicking the link in title bar so the video opens in YouTube instead of Discuss Cooking. That way you'll see the live comments to which Reina and Toni are responding. As a wannbe wishiwas guitar picker, it's instructive to watch Toni's left hand playing lead. Below the link I'll list the songs and start-times.

AJ Lee & Blue Summit - Streaming Concert Virus Interrupted

AJ Lee & Blue Summit is another young group I enjoy following online. They were scheduled to play a live concert tomorrow evening that was called on account of virus but they're going to play to an empty hall and stream it live. I clicked the "Reminder" button on the link directly below so I'll get to see them tomorrow night at about 6 PM Pacific, 8 Central I think.

If you've never heard them before the link below this is to a radio interview a few months ago including a handful of songs, classics and original.

Young as AJ is, she's been playing on stage for a long time. The link below is the earliest performance I've seen.

I had a serious lack of Internet today, never have had luck with radio and did not feel like taking Shrek's stereo system in the back bedroom apart and hauling it to the living room and getting it set up. I wondered what I had on the computer. 819 titles x an avg of 5 minutes - ~1100 minutes worth of music I obviously like or I would not have put it on my computer.

There are several whole albums and wonderfully, several songs Shrek did. The first time I heard his voice it jolted me hard. Anyway, I hooked the computer to the TV and surround sound and started at the top. Had very nice music through out the house.

What music do you have hidden and forgotten on your computer?

Sounds like a great afternoon Fiona.:)

A dozen years ago I put all my CDs on a hard drive. That was about three hard drives ago though and never did convert the vinyl records. My current desktop has 304 subfolders in the music directory. Each one for a separate artist and further subdivided by album. I don't how to count the total files in folders and subfolders but there must be tens of thousands of songs. No tellin' how many there are on other scattered drives.

Thing is, with the current music services, I use Spotify, there's just no need to play them from all those files.

Here's one of those songs that somebody already uploaded to YouTube.

I saw a video Joan Baez released on YouTube yesterday. She sang a John Prine song, "Hello In There." It was very nice, especially for the things she said at the beginning.
“I want to sing a song for John Prine, who is a friend and a fellow singer-songwriter, and his wife, Fiona,” Baez said ahead of her performance of the cover. “John is in critical condition on a ventilator from COVID-19 and his wife has also tested positive.

“John, this song I have sung of yours has been one of the most requested songs in my repertoire for over 40 years. Let me sing it to you and send along with my best wishes and prayers.”

I was going to post it here.
...
But first I listened again to her '70s version on the Diamonds and Rust album and was going to post that here instead.
...
But then I listened to a version John recorded 20 years ago on the "John Prine - Live from Sessions at West 54th" concert. I think his voice improved from the '70s to the '20aughts. Matured and whiskey roughed but not as ravaged as it's been in the last few years post cancers and surgery.
...
So that's what plays if you click the box under this.

I'm on a Grunge binge. My kids loved it growing up and now I love it.
Audioslave, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains and others live Nirvana.
 
Tried to watch the AMC special on CBS tonight. Don't know why I get so bored with most of what's currently popular in Country music. My loss, I'm sure; probably just not smart enough.

Anyway, ended up listening to this 25-year-old concert by Iris DeMent instead. Her first album, Infamous Angel, came out in '92 and is among my all-time favorites.

Interesting note, my Daughter-in-Law is Iris DeMent's sister. Iris was just getting started when my stepson married her sister. When Shrek was still with us, we had many jam parties with the whole family.

I'm jealous. Saw her play in a Memphis coffee house twenty-odd years ago. Seems like she'd be comfortable at a family jam party.

The other day you mentioned listening to some music at home that included Shrek. Anything you can post here?
