I couldn't decide which one to post, so I said two words (one of which was it) and I'll leave it to you.  
 
Stu Hamm - Moonlight Sonata/Abbey Road
 
Stu Hamm - Goin' To California

Honestly? In the last couple hours I?ve been listening, laughing at (or with), being amazed by, wondering why... THIS:

Wow! That reminds me of Zappa's The Dangerous Kitchen with Steve Vai.

Preston Reed was another pioneer of the acoustic guitar as percussion instrument style made popular by Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel. This ain't about that, but here's an  example of what I mean, for comparative purposes:
 
Slap Funk by Preston Reed:
 
The song I want to turn you on to is his Overture: For Lily because it's a great composition with a great story, that I got from Preston Reed himself. He brought a guitar with him to the waiting room in the maternity ward for the birth of his daughter, Lily. It's all there in musical form; the tension, impatience, fear ... and the moment when she opened her eyes and looked into his.
 

 
I dislike watching the video, because I fell in love with the tremendous emotions of the song from listening to the CD, and the intro is so simple and evocative of time dragging by. That doesn't come across nearly as well when watching him play it. Hell, I didn't even KNOW there was a video until ten minutes ago, ha ha.
 
Do yourself a favor and get his (remastered) album Metal.

It's been one of my favorite road music CDs for twenty years. (Martin Simpson had arranged a collaboration between Michael Hedges and Preston Reed that was partially recorded at the time of Michael Hedges' tragic passing. None of the music has ever been released. Anybody got connections? I'd love to hear that.)

Rob; the Peanuts/Sugar Magnolia video was cute.  Here's the direct .

Thanks, Dave, I'm sure Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schulz would approve!

That particular section of Sugar Magnolia is a good one too; the band is locked in.
 
And I just looked it up; 9/22/91, Boston Garden, with Bruce Hornsby on piano.

I didn't realise (until after we'd visited Alembic and come back home) that there's a Charles M Schultz museum just up the road from Alembic in Santa Rosa. We'd have visited if I'd have known as I was a huge peanuts fan I the 70's. Still have all the books.

And now for a shot at the most unusual What are you listening to now...A Greek-Russian (whose parents were exiled here by Stalin in the 1940s) playing Bob Dylan in a 10 x 10 room/house in Ungud Siberia.
 
And yes, it was a live performance during which I was surrounded by 8 Russians including a lieutenant in the Red Army (only one of whom spoke more than a few words of English) who went through 7 bottles of Vodka in about 4 hours. It actually wasn't a bad impression of Bob Dylan at all.

Where is Ungud?  I'm having trouble finding it on a map.

That's pretty unusual Brian!
 
Some days I think, yeah, I'd like to be exiled to Siberia, with a case of vodka. Today would be one of those. =( I seriously have something very unpleasant to do tonight... it's kinda' got me in a mood.  
 
Been listening to Boston all day in the office. Another blast from the back half of my high school days.  
 

Dave:
 
I'm not surprised you were unable to find Ungud on a map. It is a small village of about 800 people located about 2.5 hours north of Krasnoyarsk. You get off the main (i.e., partially paved) road and then drive for about 70 km on unpaved heavily rutted roads during which the only vehicles you see are Ukrainian made jeeps and what appear to be Russian Army jeeps of WWII vintage. There are actually two additional villages on the road further off the main road  than Ungud the last of which is known as the end of civilization by the locals.  
 
The villages are located in what is referred to as the Russian Taiga (evergreen woods that are so thick that they really can't be entered).  All of the villages in the area were settled by people exiled to Siberia in the Stalin area for one reason or another.  Interestingly, like many parts of rural Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, etc. the area is becoming a bit gentrified as people from the city of Krasnoyarsk, almost all of whom live in apartments, are buying the old log cabins ripping them down and building vacation cabins.
 
The locals still get their water from the river, have outhouses, and burn wood to stay warm in the winter. I'd say that the average age of villages is probably in the 70s (or older).
 
We are working with Krasnoyarsk State University at supporting the inclusion of children with disabilities in the schools and were in Ingud to talk with the educators at the village school which serves 3 villages and 60 kids K-12. They refuse to label kids as having disabilities because the gov't will then require them to hire special education teachers so they prefer to take care of their own so to speak.
 
The people are wonderful and make the best of what they have in an area where there is snow on the ground from late October until late May (great cross country ski country).  Spent an amazing two days there connecting with people whose language I can't even come close to understanding but was able to connect with through our mutual love of music.

That sounds beautiful, both the location and the work you're doing.
