I did this one a few months ago, but it's what Annie and I are listening to right now, and that's what this thread is about, isn't it?

As you probably know, I really like this guy I call Young Tony (aka Tony Desare). In my opinion, he's better than Sinatra vocally, and he's also a spectacular pianist, which sets him apart from Frank. He's somewhat unknown and under-rated, but I think that will change eventually. He needs more recognition than he's had so far.

How about Guitar Player?
I've been listening to the Muse live album HAARP.

Louis and Ella: Isn't This a Lovely Day
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_JFsPwUzE
Another of my favorite Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald collaborations. Perfect musical pitch in both voices. In my opinion, I think this one and "Summertime" (my Oct. 24 post: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lnXLVTi_m_M) are their best.

Unfortunately, we lost this beautiful performer way too soon. She was spectacular.

Eva Cassidy (one more time): Fields of Gold:

I personally love this version. (I prefer it over the Sting version). I really miss Eva, and regret that I never saw her perform live.

This guy is a genius. I nearly wrecked my car when this one came across the radio.

Overkill and cover of Enter Sandman by Motorhead. It was better than the original.

Fall Out Boy's Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy Tonight
In honor of David Bowie, I'm trying to listen to one of his inspirations and Bowie's Lubbock, Texas connection: The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Sort of proto-psychobilly.
Paralyzed
Trying, I said.
