Clair

So my roommate gave me tickets to see a Celtic fiddler last night because she had a Raku pottery class to attend. And being a good freegan and dork I went and it was nice, you know, all the lovely harmonies in a very small room with good acoustics. Hanneke, who's in her 20's, had 2 young guys accompanying her - a cellist and a guitarist. After a couple rounds of jigs and reels and pretty straight-up trad sounds, the accompanists each got to play a song too.

The cellist sits down, shifts the mic, does a little warming up, makes some typical-sounding cello sounds as an introduction, clears his throat...

and sings the funniest awesomest love song for Clair Huxtable ever.

This recorded version on myspace can't begin to capture the fun. (the recording is low quality and it seems to be an earlier version) But. You owe it to yourself to listen anyway. It totally made my musical week.
