"So raise to me a parting glass, good night and joy be with you all"

Last month, I got the chance to see an awesome performance by Glen Hansard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He played as a celebration of the exhibit "Guitar Heroes: Legendary Craftsmen from Italy to New York." The event was presented by Spectrum, which is an initiative organized by the Met to provide fresh perspectives on the Museum's collections and special exhibitions.

The entire performance was posted by Spectrum on YouTube. It is an hour long, but I have reposted it for you here in case you have any interest and could not make it to the show. It was fantastic and I highly recommend you take the time to watch the entire thing. And for all you Friday Night Lights fans out there, you will especially enjoy the song at minute 33:20.



I hope that everyone has a FABulous weekend!

xoxo

"You have suffered enough, And warred with yourself, It's time that you won"

I tend to have very eclectic taste in music. I pretty much enjoy everything, but there are of course exceptions to the rule. Growing up, my dad listened to oldies and my mom listened to classical music and show tunes. As a matter of principle, I disliked everything to which my older brother listened. I did not really start paying attention to popular music until middle school and even then it was only because I had to in order to be part of the conversation among my friends. Even now, I do not often listen to the radio and actually get most of my music from TV shows. (I know, you are shocked!) Every once in a while, but not nearly as often, I discover new music in movies.
