Three Little Birds -- Playing for Change Posted by bixaorellana on Nov 23, 2011, 7:21am Baaba Maal ~~ what a voice, what a delivery! Love Three Little Birds, Love Keb' Mo' (love looking at Keb' Mo' ), love Playing for Change. This one was really exceptional. Thanks, Lola. Posted by casimira on Dec 7, 2011, 1:28pm Just listened to this this a.m. and reminded of how much I really adore this band and this song in particular among many others.
Posted by foreverman on Dec 8, 2011, 12:30pm great song, Casimira, I love it Posted by lola on Dec 9, 2011, 3:48am Thank you, Casimira. I'd never heard this. Nice. Posted by lola on Dec 12, 2011, 2:20am The Midnight Sun -- Al Jarreau Posted by casimira on Dec 12, 2011, 10:53am Thanks good people. Lola,I love that Jarreau!! He also does a rendition of New York State of Mind that is one of my favs although, it does make me terribly homesick for NYC when I do listen to it. Posted by lola on Dec 13, 2011, 3:39pm I'll look for Jarreau's NY State, casimira; isn't in the usual places. Alicia Keys' is nice, though. I find this Hallelujah by Alaskan villagers moving. Posted by lola on Dec 31, 2011, 5:38am Hang On Little Tomato -- Pink Martini Posted by bixaorellana on Dec 31, 2011, 5:58am BEYOND wonderful! That made me happy. Thanks! Posted by lola on Jan 1, 2012, 4:54am And that does me! Happy New Year, Bixa. Posted by bixaorellana on Jan 2, 2012, 4:09am ~~ to you as well, Lola. This song is so good when it's done well. I just discovered this version: (although will anything ever measure up to this ?) Posted by lola on Jan 4, 2012, 5:00am They won't let us US residents listen to that one, Bixa. Pretty hard to beat Mr. Green's. Posted by bixaorellana on Jan 4, 2012, 6:08am Well, this will just fix their little red wagons ~~http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer....096&m=144325867 Posted by kerouac2 on Jan 7, 2012, 12:23pm Julian Perretta Posted by cheerypeabrain on Jan 10, 2012, 6:45pm Heard this on the radio the other day and I hhad to rush home and dig out my cd... Posted by kerouac2 on Jan 10, 2012, 7:02pm Yes, the Alan Parsons Project came out with a lot of stuff that was used elsewhere but which sticks with us the moment we hear it.

(you may want to crank the volume -- )Posted by mickthecactus on Jan 18, 2012, 9:51am I saw this on the box last night and thought it was wonderful-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJqrNAkndd0 Posted by bixaorellana on Jan 18, 2012, 3:38pm My sacred song! Yeah, he got that yearning into it that's so essential to this particular song. I dearly love this version, too, along with Eva Cassidy's ~~ Posted by mickthecactus on Jan 18, 2012, 3:57pm It really is a wonderful song as you say (and I still like the Judy Garland version and it is my favourite film ever) but just as a guitar instrumental was so unusual and so beautifully played. I have no sound in the office so can't listen to it I'm afraid.... Posted by lola on Jan 18, 2012, 4:51pm Lots of good favorites since I've been able to listen. Thank you all.

I had the most wonderful, magical experience and privilege of getting to hear JB do this LIVE exactly 2 years ago here at the N. O. Jazz Fest. I still get goose bumps when I hear it,and tears in my eyes.... What a moment. Thanks for the memory.
