Dave , I LOVE  ! , the Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu - Valentina Igoshina.    She shows such incredible virtuosity . I have a friend who is a piano classical pianist who also teaches . He has a different set of pedagogy for teaching Bach & Chopin .  
Thanks for the link  , I will pass it on to him .

I spent many hours of my youth, seated at the baby grand assaulted by the un-ending 'tick,tock' of a keywound Seth Thomas metronome, beating my head soft with JS and CPE Bach, only to later find out what my teacher was desperately hiding from me:  The guilty thrill and 'sturm und drang' of the 'Short-Tempered Clavier' and the wonder of that Black Dog of the Bach Family Tree:  
 
PDQ  BACH ! ! ! !

A lot of people know Mark King for his famous 'building a shed' bass solos, here is a really good clip of him playing his S2 coco bolo is a more restrained fashion and using just about every technique(except tapping) he knows. Very jazzy, very funky and very pleasant to listen and watch.

On one hand it's sorta depressing to see kids who overall play better than you (or know more songs) but at the same time it's awesome as it shows that not all kids are wasting all their time with video games and facebook and all that crap...yay music!

After watching far too many of their videos I can say this:
The drummer has a superior skill set and the over all energy of all three is inspiring.

I think I will hang my bass up after seeing that, frightening doesn't even come into it, at the other end of the scale I posted the Sleepyman Banjo Boys on here and that was just as frightening to see a 9/10 year old kid playing Bela Fleck's 'Whitewater' along with his brothers at unbelieveable accuracy!

OK, that's good, Pauldo - but for Enter Sandman as you've never heard it, the band of history profs I occasionally do sound for do it with swing (alas, no vid to link).

Hello  all friends !  
 
New strong influences are brewing in my veins .
                   
FAUN !  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN60xXj10Fo
 
I just came back from our farm in Missouri and played this tune .  
 
I love it . This band is a current  influence on my interests of bringing  the San Francisco Bay Area sound /jam band paradigm to a new and exciting level of evolution.  Celtic /Medieval Modal  psychedelic trance Improvisation !  My new bag perhaps . May be a new sound in development.   The Farm brings me new thoughts and feelings . THINK THIS  :  Dark Star in the  GAME OF THRONES !   LIKE WOW !  Dragons and fire and female vocals  ! It works .  
 
I leave you with this gem .

True that ^ Tony. I feel pretty fortunate to have been an influence (hopefully a positive one) on several kids musical experience in the past few years. It's been a blast having a back-line seat watching them progress from prodigious youngsters into seasoned performers.  
 
My contribution to the Listening thread today: Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas & Rob Ickes - Three Bells. It's fantastic... you would think three resonator guitars wouldn't produce anything more than absolute cacophony, but each of these guys are masters of the instrument.  
 
My 2 favorite cuts:

*Mike Auldridge passed away this past year, this album was released posthumously. Mike was a peach of a guy, with whom I once had the honor of recording with. He was one of the most personable musicians I ever met, even wrote some of the liner notes on the project for us.
