Dancing On Strings Performs Jalousie
 

Kevin McDowell and his two lovely
daughters Lydia and Mona McDowell
make up the musical trio Dancing On Strings.
They perform the tango Jalousie by J. Gade
arrangement by Stephen Tosh.


Perfect music to dance to while I make lunch

Enjoy

Bjork, Matmos (live sound engineers), A 12-voice choir from Greenland, The London Philharmonic and

Zeena Parkins, Electric Harpist (making music you'd not imagine from a harp).



Live at the Royal Opera House

Sultas of Swing a la Spanish Guitar.
 

He makes it look so easy, makes it talk.

Jose James ~~> Desire
(I really like the soft feel of the bass, piano and percussion
section in this song and his voice too!)





Someone very close and dear to my heart turned me onto
Pat Metheny and JJ Cale - I like both artists (their style of music
and use of strings) very much...

ALovelyKiss..this is an older song by Pat Metheny, but one of my favorite:

I love Trains! I almost posted this one and I'm so glad you did!
Thank you guihong! :)

You can check out any time you like...
 

A classic I had the pleasure of seeing live.

Love listening to The Eagles!
Back in the late 70s, radio stations
back home gave alot of air time to them...

fav's:

Take it to the Limit
One of these nights
Desperado
Witchy Woman

:)

Sparkle,
This was so beautiful!
Friends of mine got married years ago
and a mutual friend of ours played the harp,
so I enlisted them to play for their wedding:
Your video reminded me of the music that day!
:)

Pink Floyd - "Hey You"
 

Love the strings in this song...

*Shelter*
 

Ray LaMontagne

*love the strings and his voice*

You know what?
I live here and did not even know
we had the Portland Cello Group!

I should find out when they have
another performance and make it a point
to go hear them! Thank you for sharing their
music here! :)

my very close and dear friend Brynn turned me onto Mumford & Sons...
 

I love this song and the strings...
I wanna see them in concert some day!

Alison Krause | Ghost in this House
 

Sad songs touch my heart deeply
and I like how she 'owns' this song...

Anyway, I really like this song- I've been down
the road where I just completely shut down - much
like the lyrics in the song articulate.

As you can tell, I love Flogging Molly...lol They are amazing live, especially the violin and banjo. :)

Earl Scruggs & Steve Martin

"foggy mountain breakdown"



I was very young at the time but my grandparents took us
kids to hear Earl Scruggs at a bluegrass festival in the late 60s!
He was with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys back then...
