Despite the violence and melancholy shown here this somehow leaves me with an uplifted feel good message.

I heard a rumor that some guy named Dan Cathy is planning to open a chain of these places.
Chicken and Rock Lobster is supposed to be on the menu.

A tribute to the late Scott Mckenzie.

As someone who was in college when this happened, younger people today just don't understand the significance of this period and how profoundly it changed America.

Great song. Thanks for posting. I was in High School back then.
(is that charlie manson at 0:33--0:34? probably not.)

A tribute to the iconic American sister act, the McGuire sisters, upon the death of Dorothy McGuire at the age of 84. She was reportedly suffering from advanced dementia. This was filmed for a PBS special eight years ago.

I've been spinning Jerrod Niemann's new song Shinin' On Me! It's really awesome.

I was turned on to Edith Piaf over 50 years ago when I started taking French classes. Whether you understand French or not her talent and the feeling she puts into her music is unbelievable. She makes you feel every note.

This was typical of her perfomances, alone on a stage wearing a simple black dress and using her powerful and emotional voice.

I happened to come across this tonight and, while I'm not sure it qualifies as "feel good music", I defy you to watch it without a smile coming to your face. It has to be one the most irreverent Christmas videos in recent years and is by the Dropkick Murphys.

USA Premiere of “The Season’s Upon Us” Music Video « Dropkick Murphys (http://www.dropkickmurphys.com/2012/12/03/usa-premiere-of-the-seasons-upon-us-music-video/)

I took my little girl to somthing called "The Spring Fair of OKC" or whatever . . . sometime in the vicinity of The Spring of . . . oh . .. i dunno . . . maybe '90 or thereabouts . . .?
And this guy--with his ShowBand--was performing, live, on stage. It wuz lahk $ma$ in May or whatever.
Point is: This Dude and Crew/Crewettes were EXCELLENT! (and not just on account o' some old timey christmas song =)

Sorry . . . You are wrong: On a scale of 10 that video rates a 12. Thanks!

A little outrageous, as usual, for the Divine Miss M, but still feels good.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTNPcbRX-Vc

A great new song by this popular new group.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7yCLn-O-Y0

Their name certainly fits their music.

That was excellent. "never judge a song by the opening shots of a music video." =)
(on the other hand, the bette midler video was beyond perfect.)

I was reminded about this great Oscar winning song tonight while watching "Once" on the OETA Movie Club.

You wouldn't think from the title that this is feel good music but it might surprise you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPOM0IUsd_0
This is a very versatile and interesting group.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeK0Cwr9sg

I think the music on this video is unremarkable but it definitely qualifies as feel good.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHYhzg8QWbI

Well I'm at work at 5:45 on a Saturday morning and this is what's making me feel good at the moment.

This talented group is from Dublin.

I especially like their rendition of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" at the end.

For some reason this became unavailable from a previous post.

One more previous post that became unavailable that I have to post again because it's so special.

[QUOTE=ljbab728;599835]Another one that I posted last year that became disabled. I'm posting again even if it's a couple of months early.

Another previous post that I found unavailable. The incomparable Edith Piaf at her best on stage alone in a simple black dress.

Thanks for reposting that Bette Midler vid!
I can't remember exactly why I was trying to find it awhile back but I couldn't. =)
I think I was going to use it to illustrate a point . . . yet at this point i can't remember what that point was.

That video and the White Christmas one went down again. I guess there's not much point in posting them a third time.

I have previously posted an official music video of this song but I also really like this "live" version with more acoustics.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-q2n43mZeI

I have never been a Katy Perry fan, but this definitely qualifies as a fun, feel good song.

Was just driving around NE Central OKC, running a few errands. Was wishing I had my camera with me to capture some of the brilliant fall foliage that still remains. One of the errands was to be a stop by the grocery store. I had the radio tuned to some NPR Station. They were doing an interview with Booker. T. They played part of this song. Just as I was driving by Whole Foods, in order to bypass Sprouts, so I could end up at Homeland.

Booker T. said that it was still one of his favorite tunes, even 50 years later, at the age of 68.

I have to agree that it is one of my favorite "Feel Good Songs" too.
(even though Booker T. is 7 years older than me. =)

_bpS-cOBK6Q

Somehow it reminded me of this other old favorite, but I'm not sure why.
Maybe you can pick up on the similarities.

As long as we have access to NPR in OKC, OKC Radio is OK by me.

(Oh! For The Record: I didn't buy any green onions at Homeland. I bought baby spinach, red and white onions, garlic, a shallot and some of those tasty mini-gold potatoes instead. Plus some non-psychedelic mushrooms and a nice pork tenderloin. =)

RM, I didn't realize you were such a youngster. I'm closer to the age of Booker T. than I am to you.

Sheeeee-it, dude:
Sometimes I even watch Larry Welk reruns (on PBS) =)
Just for the nostalgia fix.

Let's face it: The entire concept of "Age" is all in your mind.
(yeah. right. heh, heh, heh. =)

My wife and I recently returned from a 600 mile drive to savor The Natural Beauties of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Today, one weekend later, we took a 6000 step stroll around our "'Hood".
Just as pretty in it's own way. No kidding.

Of course, we were actually talking and taking photos rather than engaging in a forced exercise march of some sort. =)

Caught this--listening to some NPR blurb a couple of weeks ago, probably "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross--and picked up a copy of the CD for The Road Trip at Barnes and Noble. Never heard of Linda Thompson before that . . . so I guess she could be called The Serendipity Singer for The New Millenium?

This young Lady has good pedigree in singing and I really enjoy her cover of this old Van Morrison tune: Jen Chapin - Into The Mystic (Van Morrison) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6FPsRk-HHE)

Before even clicking the link, I have to say that three of the things that brought my sweetheart and i together involved Van Morrison, Loreena McKennit and Enya. =)

Upon review . . . I have to say that Jen Chapin finally made it clear to me what Van Morrison was saying a relatively long time ago. =)
I knew I liked what he was saying, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was. Thanks. Really.

This one is "all gussied up" video-wise, yet . . . (it's still OK in my book =)
