Big thanks to Daniel for turning me on to 15-year-old Jacqueline Mannering. She can definitely play. Enjoy…

Best…Music Video…Ever…
This is, perhaps, the best music video ever made. It gets better and better as it goes. Don’t think, just watch…

Michael Gregorio, Mouth Guitarist…

This is interesting to me. This guy vocalizes into a microphone, making guitar sounds. Apparently, this is a relatively popular art form. Check it out…

AutoStart by Autostar…
My brother, Stu, put together this video for one of the tracks off his band’s first release (cousin Mark is part of the band, too). If you would so indulge me, put on some headphones and watch the vid. I find the music great to program by and the video kind of trippy. An excellent effort by Stu and Mark, together known as Autostar. If you like the track, you can find it on iTunes by clicking this link…

Frank Zappa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction…
This is a couple of years old, but brand new to me. Read the comment from Stu before you watch this. A fascinating story…

Fret Killer…
Posted by Dave Mark on Jan 21, 2010 in Music
Friend of the blog Leisa O’Malley turned me on to Fret Killer, a regular YouTube poster who posts a series of wonderful guitar and vocal takes on some old classics. They are perfectly arranged and executed. The only complaint I have is that he has embedding disabled so I can’t include the actual videos on my blog. Usually, I’d just pass them by, but these were worth sharing, so here’s a few links to get you started.
My personal favorite is Take Me Home, Country Roads. I used to perform this at coffee houses back in the day. Great song.
And the one Leisa started me off with is the classic among classics, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Fret Killer, please enable embedding!!!

Steve Kimock, Another Great Guitarist…
Posted by Dave Mark on Dec 14, 2009 in Music
I am a big strat fan. For the uninitiated, that’s the Fender Stratocaster. The video below shows Steve Kimock, little known guitarist who can play with the best of them, rocking a strat with passion and precision. Yum…

The Beatles, As Seen From the Future…
This is just silly, yet somehow I couldn’t stop watching it. Mostly, this is for those who were not aware that Scottie Pippin was really one of the Beatles…

What a Voice!
Posted by Dave Mark on Dec 10, 2009 in Music
Mark Vincent is a 15-year-old who auditioned for Australia’s Got Talent. When he started singing, I thought to myself, this has got to be lip-synching. There’s no way that voice came out of this kid. But apparently it did! Listen and enjoy…

Maneli Jamal, Guitarist Extraordinaire…
Posted by Dave Mark on Nov 22, 2009 in Music
I may have a new favorite guitarist. I have long been a fan of Jean “Django” Reinhardt, Eddie Van Halen (did you know that he was born in The Netherlands?), and my brother’s favorite, Frank Zappa. But a new guitarist has now joined the list. Maneli Jamal, welcome sir!
Do yourself a favor and take a listen…
