View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
Thanks, Michael, for the Genya Ravan share. It's great to hear she still has awesome pipes. It seemed to take her awhile to get into the spirit but she finished with an appropriate balance of bravado and resignation.
I can go years without finding a good LP at the few thrift stores I hit but got lucky again: The Guess Who, Share the Land. I had to post this nearing the end of side two, listening to; Tree More Days:

I posit that music is way more than any of those definitions. Music is art, an expression of feeling and emotion that defies such simple labels.
Some bands(musicians) people should check out(not necessarily still together, some hard to find):
Banyan
Lefties Soul Connection
Ott
Praxis
Little People
The Claypool Lennon Delirium - they've only released two tracks and are just about to start a tour.
Hellride
Buckethead
Bluetech
Sounds from the Ground
Pitch Black
Curved Air
Spirogyra
Eye
And one should never forget about Megadeth. !!!All hail Dave Mustaine!!!

Reason: Added some bands to check out.
Buffy Saint-Marie - “Soldier Blue”
Guess Who - “American Woman”
Pippo Pollina & Konstantin Wecker - “Questa Nuova Realtà”
Country Joe & The Fish - “Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine”
Important Edit/Addition: Jean Ferrat - « La Montagne »
The last and only song by Jean Ferrat that few radio-stations in France appear to be ready to play.., every five years or so. One of the best (EVER - do you do Youtube?) french singers, practically banned for his political orientations. Jean Ferrat stands for self-censurship like few others...
(Wasn't there Patricia Kaas, once?)

Reason: Jean Ferrat
One of the reasons that I stopped using P2P networks. After the tenth or so reference to “These Eyes” by “Blood Sweat & Tears” and “The first cut is the deepest” by “Melanie Safka” (of all choices), I put it away as yet another frustrating experience with the “new media”. And then there were all those songs that ended abruptly at arbitrary positions in the tracks.
Now Richard Smerin offers to send me those of his records that I am still missing. Much better than eMule, Gnutella etc...
Jean Ferrat - « La Buissonière »
Fairport Convention - “Fotheringay” (With Sandy Denny)
Lynyrd Skynyrd - “The Needle And The Spoon”
Edit: The Catfish (with Hugh Pool) - “The Catfish Stroll”
“Spirits treat me gently“ anybody? I have lost my Hugh-Pool-CD!!
Edit II: I am writing too much in this thread, but, before I leave to attend to the said burial, have I already told the story of my encounter with The Catfish? In Frankfurt (Germany) I saw them and if I am not erring, Hugh Pool was there. In Nuremberg Professor Washboard presented the band and I believe today, that he mixed up the guitarists. He must have said “John Fohl”, who was not there. But, as I have not well heard the name, I asked “Mister Pool” for an autograph on the Blackjack-CD. Since that day, I read: “Butch Mudbone”. This annoyed me a lot.
In the meantime, I have seen that the two resemble each other quite a lot, when on stage, drank a beer or two with myself and am my friend again... And now, one signature appears to represent three musicians at once. Quite amusing.

Leonard Bernstein presents 7-year-old Yo-Yo Ma's debut for President John F. Kennedy
Quote:
The New York Times reported that on November 29, 1962, a benefit concert called "The American Pageant of the Arts" was to be held with "a cast of 100, including President and Mrs. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Leonard Bernstein (as master of ceremonies), Pablo Casals, Marian Anderson, Van Cliburn, Robert Frost, Fredric March, Benny Goodman, Bob Newhart and a 7-year-old Chinese cellist called Yo-yo Ma, who was brought to the program's attention by Casals."
As biographer Jim Whiting noted, "the article was noteworthy in two respects. First, it included Yo-Yo's name in the same sentence as those of two U.S. presidents and eight world-famous performers and writers. Second, Yo-Yo had been identified in a major newspaper for the first time. It would hardly be the last. In the years since then, the New York Times alone has written about him more than 1,000 times."
