"Shining Eyes" - One Buttock Classical Music and Awakening Possibility

Here is a video from the Ted Conference.  Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, expounds on "one-buttock" classical music, awakening possibility and being someone who creates "shining eyes". It was inspirational and funny. 


He is also the author of "The Art of Possibility".

I didn't post this when I first watched the video.  Yet, for some reason, I've thought about this video many times since then.  So, here it is.  Hopefully, you'll like it too.

Is You Is ... Or Is You Ain't, My Baby?

During the weekend, I visited an art fair in downtown Fort Worth.  While walking through the exhibits, I came upon the performance stage and stopped to listen to a jazz and swing band play.  One of the songs stuck in my head.  It was originally done by Louis Jordan, and it is called  "Is You Is ... Or Is You Ain't?"

While thinking about how the Markets are at a crossroads, I hear the lyrics ask:

Is you is ... or is you ain't, my baby?
The way you're acting lately makes me doubt ...

When I got home, I kept singing the song.  A quick search found various versions, including this one.  From the Tom & Jerry cartoon.  Very nicely done.

That brought back memories of old TV Shows: Mister Ed, Courtship of Eddie's Father, Speed Racer, etc.  Well, I found a site that has over 5,000 TV tunes.  Click here to visit Television Tunes and bring back some memories.
