Tuesday Tunes – "From the happy/Day I met you/Made a bet/I was gonna get you"

This is my favourite song from my favourite 8-track in my parent's collection when I was growing up.  (Ah, K-Tel, is there anything you couldn't do?)

Music Monday – (For Obvious Reasons, I Won't Put a Lyrical Excerpt From This Clip As a Teaser)

Joke or art or both?  (I'm in the “bit of both” category myself.) With helpful introductory and closing commentary, it's definitely worth watching the whole thing though I guarantee you'll feel an incredible urge to clear your throat watching this!

I'd never heard of a scalloped fretboard before but apparently it leads to music sounding something like this…

Music Monday – "You gotta sing, sing, sing, sing out loud/Doesn't matter if you stay on track"

It's not where I got the name for this recurring feature but did you know there's an advocacy campaign to promote music education that's actually called Music Monday?   Here's a catchy little a capella number from Serena Ryder that's the theme song for the cause which will be sung by school children across Canada on […]

Music Monday – "Everything moves real slow when it's forty below"

Friday Fun Link – "Happy New Year Luie!" (March 19, 2010)

I was going to save this for Music Monday but it's too good to not share right away.  As one YouTube commenter observes, is this like looking at the roots of the delta slide blues guitar style?(via MetaFilter)
