I recorded this exactly one year ago. Pedro sat down and gave me the best birthday present I could ask for: a performance of a wonderful original song on one of my favorite instruments. Isn't the cello just a beautiful axe? To me, its the instrument with the most emotions....

I could listen to this song for hours.

Its my birthday tomorrow.... So to celebrate I will post 4 videos that I found within the past 12 hours that really got me goin! I mean, haven't you ever just listened to a song or seen a video and immediately fell in love with it?! I think I've thrown my hands up in joy like 6 times within the past 30 minutes. These artists rock, and the everything about the videos rule! Live performances are making a comeback ya'll. Say goodbye to the days of lip syncing and hello to real live, talented musicians!

First... A living legend with a hint of R&B. Elvis Costello and The Roots!

Next a new up and coming jazz artist, Gregory Porter (If you like jazz look this guy up! He's the man!)

Now for something completely different... I have no idea who these guys are or where they're from or what they're saying but you can bet I'll be researching them and diving into a musical journey with them before my night is over...            Freaking. Awesome.
