Background music from a game called “Touhou”: “Bad Apple!!”

I’ve never heard of this game, but then I’m not a gamer, but this is really neat traditional-style Japanese music, played with authentic instruments on a traditional stage.

 

It’s true, “Everything’s better with Muppets”…

From an artist called “Spray” (whose real name is Jenny McLaren) and a guy called Ricardo Autobahn comes this tribute in music and video to that happy troupe called “The Muppets.”

90 year old WWII vet tells a touching story from the war…

WWII veteran Jack Leroy Tueller tells a story of one night in France after D-Day. He was an Army Air Corps pilot who was spending his first night there, while a German sniper kept shooting at him and the others at the makeshift airstrip. He was a trumpet player who carried his trumpet with him all through the war, and still has it and plays it to this day. He played “Lili Marlene” in order to persuade the sniper to stop firing. Watch these all the way through.

The power of music, indeed.
