This is just one of the fantastic performances by students of Heartwood Guitar Instruction that you can see here. Some of the videos feature solo performers – one rather famous take on “Folsom Prison Blues” – but most show a younger artist performing with some taller people. They all rock, without a doubt.

YouTube is a fantastic way to discover music.

An exciting project by the BBC, Save our Sounds. Exciting on many levels for me, first being the immediate picture of the world in sound, like exploring Flickr via the geo-tagged photostream. I also find the preservationist angle delightful – saving endangered sounds.

This also introduced me to Audioboo, a social networking site and iPhone app that looks very very interesting.
