At the beginning of this clip you may this this is just Tom Johnston (of the Doobie Brothers, for you younger folks here). But it’s much more than just Tom.

Sorry if already posted. This is an amazing performance of this song. The orchestra players seem to be high school age.

I’m done for the night. Here is a 14-minute performance of “American Woman” by the Guess Who.

That was awesome!! I listed to the other offerings for Blue Collar Man and Crystal Ball.
Sing For The Day! showcases Styx guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw’s rousing 2016 solo turn with the Cleveland-based Contemporary Youth Orchestra, under the direction of principal conductor/founder Liza Grossman. Alongside guitarist/musical director Will Evankovich and backed by the next generation of the finest high-school-aged musicians in Ohio, Shaw also celebrates the tenth anniversary of Styx’s triumphant 2006 One With Everything performance with the CYO. Here, the CYO & Chorus bring new life to many classic band and solo tracks in front of an enthusiastic audience at the intimate Waetjen Auditorium in Cleveland, including “Blue Collar Man,” “Girls With Guns,” “High Enough,” “Too Much Time on My Hands,” “Crystal Ball” (featuring the debut of its never-recorded lost verse), and most especially “Renegade,” highlighted by an epic guitar/violin duel between Shaw and a noted CYO alum. “It was so much bigger and more everlasting than any of us imagined it would be,” marvels Shaw - now see and hear just how magical Sing was for yourself.

This morning, I booked my spot on my 6th(!) 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise next January. Floating around the ocean with 3,000 other metalheads is truly my happy place. 
About a dozen bands announced so far, with 40+ more to come. A few bangers already on board…can’t wait to find out the rest.

I have to say, Emmylou Harris may have done Here, There and Everywhere better. I like it more.

This is unverified, but I read somewhere that “Here, There and Everywhere” is the only song Lennon ever complimented McCartney on. Seems far-fetched to me but I am no Beatles scholar.

From “Coda.” A daughter explaining a song to her deaf family. Emilia Jones spent 9 months learning ASL so she she could play this role. She also learned to speak and sing in an American accent. A tour de force.
