    Mediaeval Baebes, a British group. They were the headliners at the Renaissance Faire last weekend. Several of them play instruments (fiddle, recorder, hurdy gurdy) although that isn't featured in this video, which is updated with a hip rock beat. There were eight of them on stage, but the lineup varies from six to twelve. They also had a drummer, guitarist and cellist to round out the sound. They pander shamelessly to the male audience, making themselves up as "eye candy" and dancing sinuously, but their musicianship and their mastery of traditional British folk music (in several languages including Latin) are flawless.

    The Baebes are not babies. Founder Dorothy Carter died ten years ago at age 68.

    Their first CD reached #2 on the British classical charts.

    Now right into this. Could have did without the announcer part. Other than that I love everything about this. And one of my favorite lines from this band - "you'll never find a coup devile at the bottom of a cracker jack box" So true.

    The accompanying guitar at around 2:39 is just so beautiful, you hear it between the verses, as well as the rhythm pure and then theres like this interruption. You're killin' me meat, your killin' me.

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night...

    Well I remember every little thing
    As if it happened only yesterday
    Parking by the lake
    And there was not another car in sight
    And I never had a girl
    Looking any better than you did
    And all the kids at school
    They were wishing they were me that night

    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon, hold on tight
    Well C'mon, hold on tight

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light

    [Girl:]
    Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed

    [Both:]
    Ain't no doubt about it
    Baby got to go out and shout it
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed

    [Boy:]
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed

    Baby don'cha hear my heart
    You got it drowing out the radio
    I've been waiting so long
    For you to come along and have some fun
    And I gotta let you know
    No you're never gonna regret it
    So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise
    It'll feel all right
    Well I wanna make you motor run

    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon, Hold on tight
    C'mon, Hold on tight

    [Both:]
    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light
    Paradise by the dashboard light

    You got to do what you can
    And let Mother Nature do the rest
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely

    We're gonna go all the way tonight
    We're gonna go all the way
    And tonight's the night

    [Radio Broadcast:]
    OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
    Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
    There's the wind-up, and there it is
    A line shot up the middle, look at him go
    This boy can really fly
    He's rounding first and really turning it on now
    He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second
    The ball is bobbled out in the center
    And here's the throw and what a throw
    He's gonna slide in head first
    Here he comes, he's out
    No, wait, safe, safe at second base
    This kid really makes things happen out there
    Batter steps up to the plate
    Here's the pitch, he's going
    Amd what a jump he's got
    He's trying for third
    Here's the throw
    It's in the dirt, safe a third
    Holw cow, stolen base
    He's taking a pretty big lead out there
    Almost daring them to pick him off
    The pitcher glances over, winds-up and it's bunted
    Bunted down the third base line
    The suicide squeeze is on
    Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close
    Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate
    Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it

    [Girl:]
    Stop right there
    I gotta know right now
    Before we go any further

    Do you love me
    Will you love me forever
    Do you need me
    Will you never leave me
    Will you make me so happy
    For the rest of my life
    Will you take me away
    And will you make me your wife
    Do you love me
    Will you love me forever
    Do you need me
    Will you never leave me
    Will you make me so happy
    For the rest of my life
    Will you take me away
    And will you make me your wife

    I gotta know right now
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me
    Will you love me forever

    [Boy:]
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning

    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning

    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning

    [Girl:]
    I gotta know right now
    Do you love me
    Will you love me forever
    Do you need me
    Will you never leave me
    Will you make me so happy
    For the rest of my life
    Will you take me away
    And will you make me your wife
    I gotta know right now
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me
    And will you love me forever

    [Boy:]
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning
    Let me sleep on it

    [Girl:]
    Will you love me forever

    [Boy:]
    Let me sleep on it

    [Girl:]
    Will you love me forever

    [Boy:]
    I couldn't take it any longer
    Lord I was crazed
    And when the feeling came upon me
    Like a tidal wave
    I started swearing to my god
    And on my mother's grave
    That I would love you to the end of time
    I swore I would love you to the end of time

    So now I'm praying for the end of time
    To hurry up and arrive
    'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
    I don't think that I can really survive
    I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
    But God only knows what I can do right now
    I'm praying for the end of time
    So I can end my time with you

    [Boy:]
    It was long ago and it was far away,
    And it was so much better than it is today.

    [Girl:]
    It never felt so good, It never felt so right
    And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

    Listening to some Jazz right now...Make sure it is playing at 480p. The compression is actually very good and could be a benchmark for youtube. The natural compression still comes through.

    Yes, but these days it's too homogenized. It's difficult to enjoy it as anything but mood/background music for more than two or three cuts in a row.

    Hey, I love saxophones as much as anybody who grew up (or at least was supposed to grow up) during the early days of rock'n'roll before the electric guitar replaced the sax and the piano as the genre's defining instrument. But these days it seems like the lead instrument in every "smooth jazz" song is a sax.

    Could we please, more than once every hour, hear a trumpet, electric guitar, piano, flute, violin, synthesizer, clarinet, vibes...? Or even (gasp!) an oboe, harp, trombone, classical guitar or harpsichord?
