Whether you are a musician or not, you can appreciate when great musicians come together and perform live. There is something so magical about the energy of a studio jam session or an impromptu performance somewhere.
This video of the Morning Benders performing their single 'Excuses' with a bunch of their San Francisco musician friends just came to my attention from a friend on Facebook. Christopher, the lead singer, says he was inspired by Phil Spector and his 'wall of sound' for this recording session. Whatever inspired it, I think it's...well, inspiring.
Here are some other great performances brought to you by the wonder that is YouTube. Seriously - a new appreciation for YouTube in that it provides a platform to discover such treasures. Oh and by the way - did you know that Daryl Hall (of Hall & Oates) has a new web series call 'Live from Daryl's House'? It's great - he invites over various artists, cooks for them, chats with them, then they jam out in his home studio. Well played Daryl.
