The "Rack", sorta.. Technics turntable is off to the right.

For some reason, I am drawn to spontaneous music. As a kid, playing in a string quartet, we did this all the time..., but that predated everyone with a smart phone. I may have one or two Kodachrome snap shots of that history. Today, everyone has a movie camera in their smart phone. The multiplier-effect to share a moving example that occurred yesterday or last year in a distant location to move people on the other side of the globe is an incredible and powerful thing of Art and Beauty. What is spontaneous music? Anything that comes together in a public place, even if staged - it's spontaneous unexpected art for the observer/listener. Share here in this "Music Games" topic what moves YOU. I'll start with what popped today in my player:

Gets me through the ... ? This is a great cover/duet by an AGT artist, who the original artist brought up on stage with her, to nurture, … Wonderful act of kindness, grace and beauty to share the light with this 14 year old talent. The original (about a year ago) AGT performance from Benecio. Great setup, but if you want to just hear the music, it starts at 3:00. Benecio Bryant first performed in Europe in a talent show (EU The Voice, I think), before getting on AGT. FWIW.

Whitesnake Slow and Easy (Remastered)

Well then the path is clear Had mine since '97 and have put 100K miles on her. Each one a blast.. One of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. Only let me down twice and they were really my fault. No complaints.

I love "finger style" guitar. Watching my son advance on this technique is amazing. Super talented, expressive, Guitar Champion Christie Lenee will move you this morning ! The second piece starts at about 11:30. Equally beautiful as the 5-7 note classical Ostinato pattern of the first piece.

Lyrics Written by activist, suffragette and abolitionist Julia Ward Howe, 1861. Music by William Steffe, 1856, arranged by C.S. Hall and C.B Marsh 1861.

This kid's got spunk, great stage "attitude" and "presence."

Today's Spontaneous Music Find comes from NOLA, by Tuba Skinny. This is some excellent jamming, that makes your foot tap.

Here is a picture of the menu screen. Similar to some DVD-audio discs. There are 3 audio set up options. I couldn't tell any difference between them.
