More Music - Bach's Cello Suites
I personally consider Bach's Six Solo Cello Suites to be one of the high points in the musik making history of all beasts. The following clip shows Pablo Casals, who supposedly released, and popularized, these long buried or hidden Bach's djinns over the modern ear, playing the First Cello Suite:
Then we have Andres Segovia, the foremost master of classical guitar, playing the prelude of the same Cello Suite here:
Also here are peices by two other excellent cellists: Prelude to the First & Prelude to the Sixth. Life with the possibility of encounters with such music can't be bad, no it needs to be celebrated! Go, listen, and be amazed.

Music Note - Grupa Mocarta
aka Four Crzy Poles Drunk On Mozart, whose first violinist is a Tom Hanks twin, and who came to my attention last night as I rounded up music for Laughter and Forgetting.
Grupa Mocarta justify themselves thusly:
"We exist despite the solemness of the great concert halls, despite the boredom of the everyday life of the classical musicians, despite the fanatic lovers of classical music, despite the fans of rock, rap or pop who are afraid of classical music. We treat our Mother Music with a humorous irony and we are sure she will have nothing against it"
Also go here and here to laugh even more.

To The Soul - W.S. Merwin
Is anyone there
if so
are you real
either way are you
one or several
if the latter
are you all at once
or do you
take turns not answering
is your answer the question itself surviving the asking without end whose question is it how does it begin where does it come from how did it ever find out about you over the sound of itself with nothing but its own ignorance to go by
