Dennys Art Sanctuary: Coolest Guitar Duet: Four Hand Exchange

Image via Wikipedia

Dennys Art Sanctuary: Coolest Guitar Duet: Four Hand Exchange: From Denny: This is the best guitar video I've seen in a long time. It's from the Brazilian Music Institute. As the performance opens it sure looks funny as the man puts his hands over the shoulder of the woman holding the guitar. Then you see four hands playing at once - and the music is as wonderful as the image is funny! Makes you wonder how long it took to practice the piece and not get all tangled up doing it.

Dennys Funny Quotes: Too Funny: Watch Bird on Car Windshield Wiper

and yet another odd bird...

Dennys Funny Quotes: Too Funny: Watch Bird on Car Windshield Wiper: From Denny: Watch carefully and focus upon the tiny bird perched on the windshield wiper blade just above the steering wheel of the car. This crazy bird just - literally - rolls with it!

Like that old 1988 song by Steve Winwood called "Roll With It." Make sure to start the song before you watch the bird.

Music: Britney Spears Performs Hold It Against Me

Image via Wikipedia

From Denny: Louisiana girl Britney Spears, like most child artists, has seen her fair share of ups and downs on the road to personal maturity. Everyone here in Louisiana has an opinion about her, good and bad. She is a sweet, loving person though often lacking good judgment about those she chooses to bring close to her.

This song is great for dancing and a night out. As far as lyrics go they are simple and uninteresting. She starts with an interesting theme but does not develop it. The video production is visually exciting and well produced - and that's what saves this song - and the artist.

There is a whole range of visuals going on here in this music video that debuted on YouTube in February 2011, so take a look:

Best Spiritual Posts: Music Video: My Sweet Lord By Beatle George Harrison: "George Harrison was an intensely private and spiritual person. Like all of us, there were those times when he took some odd turns in life that were not his best choices. Yet he remained a spiritual seeker."

From Denny:  Nothing like young love or new love - and hey! it's Spring time!  And I have all the pollen storms in the air to prove it! :)
Interesting the male actor here is now in a hit TV show called "The Good Wife."
Enjoy this little movie clip put to this great song while you contemplate cruising into your weekend...

From Denny: Whew! I got tired just watching him lug that piano up and down the streets. Wonderful song, a sad one, of love gone unappreciated.

From Denny: This is one terrific positive song and a delight for women to hear, especially when you've experienced "one of those days."

Can you believe this song has received over 101 million views? This is one talented new guy on the scene.

Music: Hip Dueling Croatian Cellists Wail On Smooth Criminal By Michael Jackson

The perfect music of dancing toe-tapping joy to inspire you.  Updated:  7 March 2012 with American version of video allowed.

From Denny:  These guys win the unofficial award for most innovative use of a traditional centuries old instrument normally played for classical music. They remind me of a couple of Kentucky boys playing fast-paced country rock fiddles. Be sure to admire the "cello spin." :)

In fact, the country rock we know of today came from the old Scottish settlers of a few hundred years ago who brought over their violins. What they did then to play barn dances was to speed up the pace of the then current classical and folk music of the day to a 7/8 time and bam! instant fast beat to jump your little joy to all night long.

The reality is these are two very talented musicians. Luka Šulić has won major international cello competitions. Currently, he is studying at the Royal Academy in London as a student of Valter Dešpalj. He has performed all across Europe, Japan and South America. As a soloist he has enjoyed success making music with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonic, The Russian Symphony Orchestra, The Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic, The Slovenia Philharmonic, the Slovak Philharmonic and the Zagreb Soloists.

Stjepan Hauser studied under famed cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich, and was his last student. Hauser enjoys many first prize awards and performances in Europe, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States, London's Royal Albert Hall, Wigmore Hall, St. John Smith Square and St. Martin in the Fields. In Amsterdam he performed at Concertgebouw, St. George's in Bristol and the Pallazzo Vecchio in Florence. Hauser has even performed twice for the UK's Prince Charles in Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace. If you recall, Prince Charles used to play the cello, though not on this performance level so Hauser's visit must have been a real treat.

Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser combined their talents recently in 2010, working together in London. Their personalities are such fun and meld well together, creating this incredible synergistic energy. These two are definitely destined for great things because they are so full of charisma and magic.

Music Video: The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole

Soothe your nerves during the holiday rush with some sweet sounds from the classic Nat King Cole at Christmas.

From Denny: Enjoy the original version of this song done by favorite artist Nat King Cole. There are some classic artists that never go out of style. It's interesting to watch each generation and their interpretation of these classics. Here are the lyrics too for you to enjoy.


The Christmas Song lyrics


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all-aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you!

Music Video: Michael Buble, Jennifer Hudson Christmas Duet

Christmas music for everyone to enjoy.

From Denny: Michael Buble is the ultimate entertainer. Ever since he was a little boy he dearly wished to become a famous singer. His is an embarrassing story today of how in his childhood he prayed hard every night before he went to sleep and slept with a Bible under his pillow to help along his ambition. But like he says with a broad smile, "Looks like the prayers worked!"
