Here's something I played at State music competition my Junior year in High School. This is written for flute, but I played it on my Alto Sax. These are two separate pieces here, but imagine them played back-to-back. The arrangement I played is called Sicilienne and Allegro from Bach's Flute...

It's really hard to go wrong with Tsaikovski, IMO. Capriccio Italien is not one of his better known pieces, especially compared to e.g "The 1812 Overture" or "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from "The Nutcracker Suite". Here's another one that I particularly like:

The Jamies..another interesting group. I like their use of harmonies.

Blues Brothers riff on the above:

Oh wow, THIS was Solomon Burke?!

Barry Mann...hmm...I've heard stuff by him before, I just didn't know that was the artist. Here's another:

I did not realize that Michael went on to a career after The Monkees. This is certainly a different genre of music for him, but it sounds like he found his 'style'.

And to take us back to something classical; most people know Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, though they may not know the name. What most people DON'T know, is the famous part is just the first movement of an IMO brilliant composition.

From Blues Brothers 2K:

Wow. I did not realize he lived that long. 89! I also did not realize he only passed in 2017. Here's another of his wonderful pieces.

And now, something COMPLETELY different

Something a little different. Nine Inch Nails - Hurt: Johnny Cash's cover of the same song: The contrast of the two songs is incredible, even with the same lyrics. One is a young man fighting with addiction, one is an old man who's fought addiction his whole life. They both break my heart...

If we're gonna do Jefferson Airplane, we GOTTA have:

Same album, I guess?

I am not familiar with this group. I like their harmonies though.

This Land is Your Land, with Arlo Guthrie, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, others, from the Farm Aid concert in 1987:

And here's the original Steve Goodman version: I gotta say I like Arlo's version better. Apparently, Willie Nelson also did a version.

I did not realize that Arlo Guthrie was Woodie Guthrie's son.

TSFH and Thomas Bergersen again, but this time with a Bulgarian folk group doing an arrangement of a traditional Bulgarian Folk piece. This one is interesting, because of how it came about. Apparently, Thomas Bergersen used part of a Bulgarian folk song ("Izlel ye Delyo Haydutin") in a...
