Bam, right onto my Netflix save queue with La Vie en Rose.
Here's hoping the music is unadulterated.
Regarding the banjo babe, apparently she likes to spell it Mercedezzz. Here is a link to her YouTube stuff, and here is a link to her Bossa Nova Banjo web page.
She was so intent on getting the notes right, at times, she drifted off the vocals. When she got through a difficult part of her play correctly, she was soooo happy she couldn't help but laugh. Really good stuff.
Paul: Thanks. Wow. She is soooo lovable! I keep thinking she's about to cross the line into insufferably cutesy, but I just can't seem to object to it.

yeah, that was nice.
There's a new feature-film biography titled "La Vie En Rose" all about the life of Edith Piaf.
Out in early June.

That was great. She's got a lovely manner and a good voice. And what a great pop song that is.
I turned the volume up so I could hear her and then I clicked the other link.
Owie!
I LOVE Mercedes and her Tiny Band! My favorite is Bwain Bwain Bwain with her girlfriends!
Yes, just a really great song and a very nice rendition.
Maxine, thanks!

To hear other breathtakingly little-known Brian Wilson/Beach Boys songs, dig deep into their late '60s albums...
Check out "Our Prayer," a 1:09 acapella tune from the Friends 20/20 twofer....

Or "Country Air" from Smiley Smile/Wild Honey

The ultimate mind-blower is "'Til I Die" from "Surf's Up."

Not a good song to listen to if you're A.J. on 'The Sopranos,' but it's as oceanic as you'll get in this life.
Thank you Ann, the video made me smile.
