John Williams is a fixture at The Hollywood Bowl and in August of 2013 he performed yet again doing first a tribute to Henry Mancini, followed after intermission, by his “Greatest Hits” from Star Wars to Raiders. It was AWESOME!

In the Mood
Hopefully YouTube will NOT bust me for this clip of what I think may be a public domain song and a CLASSIC – In the Mood. This was a surprise number at the “Dance Fever” concert at Frank Gehrey’s amazing Walt Disney Concert Hall in July, 2013. We had marvelous seats and it was a truly magical evening.
YouTube Rant about Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes, at The Hollywood Bowl
I went to the LIVE Bugs Bunny – Looney Tunes – show at The Hollywood Bowl a couple of weeks ago, It was absolutely FANTASTIC. I made an initial video that had short clips of the event – hardly visible images of the cartoons, along with the LIVE classical (public domain) music played by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. I also included fun stories that the conductor told. Within minutes of posting that video, I got that ubiquitous YouTube “warning” (threat) about using third party music without permission. I’ve been “warned” before and certain so-called “privileges” have been taken away – no trial, no appeal – just a fiat from the Gods of YouTube.
JT and Jay-Zee Concert
While EVERYONE knows that these Because I Said So comic strips are completely fiction and bear NO relation to my life, this is one rare incidence where my family is actually going to the JT and Jay-Zee concert. Why? Don’t ask me!
Barenaked Ladies Comedy Concert Clip
The Barenaked Ladies are celebrating 25 years of making music. We saw them at The Santa Barbara Bowl on June 22, 2013. It was a GREAT concert. NOTE TO YOUTUBE: This is just talk and NO copyrighted music, so please don’t hassle me! That “note” eludes to the reality that YT cracks down hard on any of us who post any unlicensed music. Personally, I don’t get it when it’s recording a “live” event, but I can’t risk having them shut me down. So, this clip is in the middle of the Barenaked Ladies performing “If I Had a Million Dollars” and is simply a comedy bit – a very funny one. I hope you enjoy it!
