<p>For anyone who likes ol’ hippy music, here’s some from a youngster, currently on a solo acoustic tour. He did about half his concert on a Letterman webcast Monday night:</p>
<p>[Ryan</a> Adams: Live on Letterman](<a href=“http://www.cbs.com/thunder/canplayer/canplayer.swf?pid=U2zoNWQh6yaDHnpLNTz1tAUJOaA3FNSD&partner=cbs&gen=1]Ryan”>http://www.cbs.com/thunder/canplayer/canplayer.swf?pid=U2zoNWQh6yaDHnpLNTz1tAUJOaA3FNSD&partner=cbs&gen=1)</p>
<p>^^Hippie not hippy (unless you were referring to actual anatomical hips).</p>
<p>Exactly, Coureur. I thought IntDad might have been referring to the song covered by The Georgia Satellites in 1988 and featured in the film, Cocktail, or the 1990 song by Soho!</p>
<p>Heard this on folk radio yesterday & brought back memories</p>
<p>“Last thing on my mind” Tom Paxton</p>

<p>Ran across this by accident - it is fabulous - orchestral and choir music from Congo. It is grouped in youtube with many more.</p>

<p>Nice to revive this thread. Something I found recently on an internet radio station has a song that combines doo-wop and DeBussy:</p>
<p>[Rays</a> (1) - Magic Moon (Claire De Lune) (1961) Doo Wop - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>^^^^That violin rift 12 sec. into the song is very cool!</p>
<p>This is another beautiful version of “Hallelujah”. Sung by Zak Resnick. I stumbled upon him on the Carnegie Mellon website…he sang “A Song for You” (Leon Russell), another beautiful song, as a musical theater student there in 2007. I think the kid’s amazing…</p>

<p>Here’s one that I could listen to all day…
Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard.</p>
<p>[ONCE:</a> Falling Slowly - YouTube](<a href=“ONCE: Falling Slowly - YouTube”>ONCE: Falling Slowly - YouTube)</p>
<p>Can’t wait to see “Once” on Broadway!</p>
<p>Up thread I think I posted a similar link, with Glen & Eddie Vedder performing Falling Slowly at PJ20.</p>
<p>[Glen</a> Hansard and Eddie Vedder - Falling Slowly - PJ20 Day 2 - YouTube](<a href=“Glen Hansard and Eddie Vedder - Falling Slowly - PJ20 Day 2 - YouTube”>Glen Hansard and Eddie Vedder - Falling Slowly - PJ20 Day 2 - YouTube)</p>
<p>I saw Glen open for Eddie three times last year & they make a wonderful combo. I had a huge grin on my face the entire time- just beautiful.
The tour this year is delayed cause Eddie is having back surgery, but I certainly am looking forward to seeing them again.</p>
<p>All the above…nice,</p>

<p>It’s on Rolling Stone- sorry there’s an ad first.
Maybe this means he is going to release a new album soon?</p>
<p>Speaking of Hallelujah, Renee Fleming sang it on Prairie Home Companion last week - the most wrong headed version I have ever heard.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe we need a new thread…</p>
<p>mathmom, I agree, but later in the same show, Heather Masse and Aoife O’Donovan sang an amazing acapella version of Shouting on the Hills of Glory:</p>

<p>Under the “Audio” section in the middle, click “Segment 1,” then go to 23:28.</p>
<p>^Yes, that was lovely. And the next segment brought a smile for very different reasons. :)</p>
<p>Someone referred to Jennifer Warnes doing Cohen. I remember cranking my stereo ALL the way up for this one.</p>
<p>[Jennifer</a> Warnes - Bird on a Wire (Cohen)](<a href=“Jennifer Warnes - Bird on a Wire (Cohen) - YouTube”>Jennifer Warnes - Bird on a Wire (Cohen) - YouTube)</p>
<p>A song I always remember from when I was a little kid is by Meryl Streep called Gartan Mother’s Lullaby. Kind of haunting.</p>
<p>Haven’t read the whole thing but IMO, the most hauntingly beautiful song I’ve ever heard is Hurt by Johnny Cash.</p>
