That's redundant, isn't it?

After a minute or so I realized it was just 1/2 of the stereo cv, and that I have been listening to bootlegs for far, far too long.
Gotta love when only one RCA cable goes out... Enough to make me wish mono was an option on more DVDs.

You haven't lived until you've heard the melody arranged for clarinets.

I don't hate this song. I'll take it over "You Gave Me The Answer" any day.

Graduation at the University of Manchester last year. My Masters degree.

Huge pipe organ. A ten minute version of Amazing Grace, in which he played it in different styles. And then, and it took me half a verse to realise, he played Free As A Bird.

Very surreal. And a strange cut to choose.

Some people may have heard Rain in Costco today.

Unfortunately, it was me, drumming on the shopping cart to boot.

THIS!!!!! in a small clothing shop. I had to ask what it was and find it immediately :)
the remix of Because is a bit plodding, but the version of Yesterday knocked me off my feet (nearly LOL)

Leave My Kitten Alone... at Taco Bell.

You know, when you're used to things like that being available on bootlegs for so very long, that's the sort of thing that just tells you EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG.

Hearing Paul's "Glory of Love" at the supermarket was pretty random.

I would be blown away to hear something from a bootleg. Something like What You're Doing take 11.
