I can't imagine this played any other way by anybody else, that would so perfectly capture the spirit of the original.

A little Bach for this evening...
 

 
Pretty amazing skills

My favorite Tommy Emmanuel tune (and probably a lot of people's favorite), .  Masterful playing and songwriting.
 
Edit:  I just watched it again.  Still masterful.  It's been a favorite for a number of years now.

Graeme, that was pretty cool!

I was thinking of Lester Young a little earlier this evening, and went looking for this famous video from 1957 featuring Billie Holiday and a number of other jazz greats.  If you watched Ken Burns' jazz documentary, this scene is in there.
 
Lester takes the second solo after Billie's first verse.  The whole video is great.  Billie is wonderful; and Lester's solo is sublime.

We're with you.

Dave. I'd not heard of the Ken Burns documentary so I did a bit of digging and found a 'mint' used boxed set on Amazon for ?10.00. Now looking forward to 745 minutes of musical viewing.

I can honestly say - of all the pages on the two discussion fora I frequent, this is the most interesting thread anywhere. Wow.

I can't decide which of these to post, so I said two words (one of which was it) and I'll post them both. I think you'll understand why.

Edward is correct, this is the best thread on the WWW.

Ian Anderson - Homo Erraticus - Album (2014)

Graeme; I think it's amazing.  I learned a lot from it; plus, it is so well put together that, for me, it's very enjoyable viewing.  Burns' team meticulously revived old archival footage, bringing it alive to help tell the story.  It really does tell the history of this music in that you can see the evolution over time.
 
There are reasonable criticisms, especially over musicians left out or glossed over, and others for whom too much time might have been spent, and the choice of expert commentators, etc; and some have found the last chapter on current day developments somewhat lacking.  But overall, an amazing work, and a great resource.
 
I hope you like it.

I never get tired of McVie's bass part on this one... since this is from the Tusk tour in 1980, I'm guessing this is probably #27. (also based on that insane slide up to the 24th fret)
