Apropos of nothing, here's a great Tom Waits video from an appearance on Letterman. No music, just him telling a very funny story. The guy is quite a skilled raconteur: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7K7451NLOs

YouTube is awesome.

It is indeed. I have just finished watching a video of 'Time Will Show The Wiser' by Fairport Convention dating from 1967 ( Dyble, Mattacks, Thompson, Nicol, Hutchings and Lamble.)

I should check that out, being a fan...was not Mattacks in the band at some time? Dunno my history...I have seen him play with Thompson a few times and he's a great drummer.

Yes, Dave Mattacks was in Fairport after the original drummer (Lamble) was killed in the band's van accident. He is a very good drummer indeed.

Looks like we should enjoy YouTube while we can.

Heres a great one. One of my favourite artists, Elliott Smith, covering my favourite song of all time - 13 by Big Star
