Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger: This Land Is Your Land



The three hot backup singers are all Arlo's daughters! This song was recently voted 3rd in a nationwide poll for "which song should be our national anthem", which was won by "God Bless America".. the poll was conducted because many feel that our present anthem is a song that glorifies war

10 yr old opera singer, this was her audition on America's Got Talent

Bjork: Hidden Place (Live/Royal Opera House)



Bjork live never fails to impress me..
Let's see, this arrangement is for: harp, female chorus, bass, string orchestra, electronic keyboards, scratchin', and a deck of cards.. and of course: lead female singer..

totally hypnotic, every blends perfectly, this is simply a masterpiece of modern pop!
