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

Ecclesium: Wexford Carol
This arrangement is by Philip Stopford, sung in Belfast Cathedral, Northern Ireland.. to me, this is real Christmas music, real religious and spiritual music, and truly timeless art.. choral music doesn't get any better than this.. Kudos to Stopford for this sublime arrangement as well, this is the best version I've heard or could find. I can easily listen to this year round.

Pat Rolland: I've Got You Under My Skin
somehow I think Cole Porter might prefer this very sensual version of his classic song..

Michael Danso: Begin the Beguine
Danso lets this song flow naturally, and hits all the notes.. very tasteful and understated version..
Tuxedo Junction: Begin the Beguine
A little pop perhaps, but an interesting big band version of the Cole Porter classic, with a Brazilian beat.. (or is it a rhumba, therefore Cuban?) [hey - are Astaire and Powell making fart sounds with their hands in the film still shown above?? LOL..]

Dave Brubeck: Take Five 1961
Joe Morello was never better on drums, which is to say this is probably as good a jazz drum solo as you will ever see and hear! He used to win every poll for best drummer back then, for about a decade.. this is just about the most uptempo version of this jazz classic as I've ever seen them do..

Anuna: Cormacus Scripsit
This is truly ethereal - amazing singing and the video fits the sound as well, shot in some 12th century ruins - a superb work of art
