Aretha on the keys

A good friend of mine passed this on to me as some "materials for human growth." Old footage of none other then Aretha Franklin on the keys playing "Don't Play That Song For Me." Amazing, she kills it. The sound is so good and that soul is second to none.

Bach's Mighty Little Fugue in Crumb minor

This is, to date, my all time favorite piece by J.S. Bach. His Little Fugue in g minor was named 'little' not because of it's importance (commonly misconceived) but to differentiate it from his Great Fantasia and Fugue in g minor. The fugue is in four voices, nicely illustrated here in this simple, MIDI file animation. It's a beautiful, complex and very powerful piece (in this humble crumb's opinion) and interesting to see each voice visually represented. Check out the links below for more J.S.B.
