Satchmo....

Satchmo is matchless,thank you, Boudreaux!

I can't help but think someone playing guitar like the 16 year-old in the 2016 video below has a place in music, somewhere. I have seen other videos where a close-up of his right hand reveals what appears to be guitar picks glued to each fingernail. You'll see why he needs all of them. The picks enhance the percussion of his rhythmic tapping interspersed throughout.

He plays 2 songs in this video so it doesn't have to be seen as long as the 7 and 1/2 minutes indicate.

This Polish boy, now 19, may be the best guitarist in the world. I've never seen anyone better, ever.

Thank you so much KittyCoCo and Seasha for those two beautiful Christmas songs!

If any may enjoy fingerstyle guitar playing O Holy Night, this is for you...

Merry Christmas!

Heavenly! Love the close-up of the fingerstyle - looks like it takes intense focus.

Merry Christmas Myoak.

Thank you all for those very lovely songs!

May I introduce Julia Westlin, who, with her fiancee, David Meshow are producing some of the most compelling acapella arrangements? Julia sings several back up parts which are then blended into one song. It is difficult to believe all the music is coming from just her voice and with small parts by David. So, for a Christmas eve gift...

'Anyway' by Martina McBride - This is one of my all time favorite inspirational songs, and I listen to it when my spirit needs a lift.

Take Care

I am loving all these selection! One of my favorites is Eva Cassidy, who died at the young age of 33 from melanoma skin cancer. Her voice is so crystal clear. These are some of my favorites of hers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWPOJOYqGA She sang and recorded this just 10 months before her death.

Thank you Seasha!

Eva Cassidy has such a beautiful voice, for calm and peace in the soul!

[KoKo]

You are so very welcome. Music can touch our spirits in deeply moving ways to uplift, encourage, and strengthen. Dana Winner amazes me in this incredible live performance. She touches my heart with this song...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5RIfTn5WU0

'One Moment in Time' is one of my all time favorites (Whitney Houston)!

Dana Winner does it well too!

Thanks Myoak!

[KoKo]

Nice thread. One of my favorites “Soulshine” by the Allman Brothers Band.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDIQ7Otf1mw

Wow, - soulshine!

'Gotta let your soulshine - it's better than sunshine, better than moonshine, and darn sure better than rain!'

Never heard that one before - great song!

Thanks Boudreaux!
