Having a House session tonight, just found this remix. It's great having extra bass boost using eqmac 2. 🔈
Great song by a master. Cowboy Junkies never had the major international success they deserved but neither did Blue Rodeo or The Tragically Hip. For those out there not familiar with these Canadian talents, please expand your horizons and give them a listen.
Damn Canadians sneaking across the border with their emotive musical covers and musical talent - build the sonic wall

Cowboy Junkies' Sweet Jane is one of my all-time faves. They did some great work. Hats off to all the great Canadian talent we've loved over the years (and hello neighbors! ::waving across the border:: )
They have some very recent videos out and Margot is as sexy as ever. I was fortunate to see them a few times in concert. Amazing to hear The Trinity Session for the first time when released in 1988. Recorded for a few hundred dollars in a small church in Toronto in one day using one microphone. Look at the crap that is released these days costing hundreds of thousands and taking many many months.
Been in a mood for Yes as of late. Just listened to Fly From Here and now I'm listening to The Yes Album.
Ah, brilliant; I haven't heard (or listened to) that song in an absolute age.
Metallica - Garage Inc
Liked this album a more than I thought I would, Turn the Page, standout track and top video; powerful...

I urge everyone to click mikzn's video link in the "original message box" just above this line (I don't know what that box is called). Even if you don't like classical music, please give it a shot just this once. What do you have to lose? 5 minutes and 36 seconds? I only like/love a very small percentage of classical music, so if I rave about something in that genre, then it must be good.
P.S. Before I post any song here, I always first do a search of this entire thread (using the "Search" function at the top of the page) in order to see if anyone else has already posted it (that function only works if the original poster has actually written something and not just pasted a link). I do this because I don't want to repost what someone else has already posted. That's how I found mikzn's post of Roxane Elfasci's stunningly beautiful rendition of "Clair de Lune" late in July. I don't know why I have waited so long to reply to it. I first watched this video in January 2018, and I still regularly listen to it, but not so often that it would lose its magic. As many of the commenters on that video have said, "Clair de Lune" is a very difficult song to play on the guitar. Watch how far she has to stretch her fingers at times to strike the right chords (I don't know if "strike the right chords" is the right phrase to use with respect to a guitar or not; it doesn't sound right, but I don't know how else to make my point).
P.P.S. There is another musician's performance of "Clair de Lune" that I have also been very eager post here. I will TRY to do so in the next two or three days (I won't do it now because I don't want it to compete with Roxane Elfasci's version). I love them both equally. Neither is better than the other, but each of us may (or may not) prefer one over the other. They are both supernaturally beautiful. Both musicians are totally (almost spiritually) immersed the music they are making. I first listened to this, as yet, unnamed version in October 2016.

💕 Love her "Guitar Interpretation" of such a beautiful "Piano Piece" - exquisite timing as she changes her tempo perfectly and controls the dynamics of the notes and the recording in a sound booth to capture the sound of her classical guitar's tone - for sure one of my favorite classical guitar pieces on youtube
Can't wait to hear your other version - that is what is cool about classical music there are often wildly different versions of the same music - different tempos - different feeling and tones - love it 👍

Such a positive song and one that anyone who has listened to Art Bell (Radio Coast to Coast) "back in the day" will remember - it was a track he played on almost every show - I use to love his radio program and would follow it just to see what he bumper music he would be playing - it was always great music and always inspirational - RIP Art Bell - miss you !
