By now I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of Billy Strings and Chris Thile for CBS’ Saturday Sessions. That’s OK. You can watch them again and again and still be amazed by the interplay between these two master musicians. The duo performed three songs (I don’t know the order they originally appeared):
"I've Been All Around This World,”
"I Am A Pilgrim,”
"Wild Bill Jones.”
Enjoy.
Sorry, folks, I don’t know a lick about this one other than that I dig it and I think you will too.

Here’s a Youtube Treasure I don’t know much about.
Sorry, I’ve never bothered to much research beyond knowing that it’s Coltrane in Belgium in 1965. I’m sure some of you can hep me to the jive and I’m always interested in details if you’re interested in providing them.
Otherwise, let’s just enjoy the sublime.

Robert Smith and company played MTV’s Unplugged in 1991 and you should watch. There is a bootleg record that has several more songs but they are not included in this video, and the video isn’t the best quality, sorry. Nevertheless, you should still enjoy this.
