Galway Girl performance is lovely. Perfect party music, i love those sing alongs. reminds me of a time I met a bunch of french people on a cruise...they invited me in and sang traditional french tunes all night (plus drinking of course!).

I didn't know that even Cher made a cover version of Melanie's Brand New Key.
Watch this sweet sweeter sweetest music video ♥ :
Half an hour later: I just realize that any "young" readers may not have the slightest idea about the connection between a "pair of roller skates" and "a key". From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_skates "skates like these fit on over your shoes and were adjustable" - however, I don't think the author really knows the subject, because he doesn't mention the important key. You totally need the key, in order make the skate fit your shoes - the very point of Melanie's song.
In my childhood I knew of no other kind of roller skates than these.

An elegant version of Brian Eno's By This River arranged for solo bass and vodka glass by Andrea Lombardini. A superb example of what can happen when you remember an electric bass can be used for far more than slapping, popping, and speed riffs.

Indeed! Mr. Lombardi's got a nice touch there.
Love Eno's stuff, though I can never remember to actually go to it and listen, I just have remembrances of having heard the song and go "Aw yeah, that's awesome!". Faves include "1/1" from Music for Airports (yeah, I know, it was more Wyatt and Davies than Eno, but it still rocks), "Sky-saw" from Another Green World, and the oft-overlooked collaboration with Robert Fripp "No Pussyfootin'".
This whole bass thing reminded me of something: In the early 90's of Seattle in the thick of the Grunge movement, there were many great artists and bands doing some great sonic experiments that would pop up, blow people away, and then fade into the static.
One of those great experiments was Sadhappy, featuring some things I never knew a bass guitar was capable of, and a good showcase of early work by certified saxophone nutcase Skerik:
