You-Tube Stuff.

I know that YouTube was all over the news yesterday for some feat of cyber-business acumen, which feat is well beyond my ken, but it reminded me that arts critic Terry Teachout has acumulated an incredible list of musical/arts gems available thereon. There is the Emmylou Harris performance covering Steve Earle above (from a concert which likely saved the Ryman), and, inter a great deal of alia, these:
· Count Basie in the ‘40s
· Vintage Beatles
· Booker T & the MG’s from 1967
· Johnny Cash
· Ray Charles
· Thelonius Monk
· Charlie Parker
· Sinatra
· Toscanini
· Doc Watson
And it just goes on and on. For the full list, go to Teachout's blog "About Last Night”; the list is on the sidebar - scroll down till you see the "Video" list. A similar list of audio links follows.
