Welcome to the New 12th Gate! It is hard to believe that we have been open for a whole year now. As we slowly move into 2009, I though it would be fun to reprise some of the best clips of the past 12 months. I realize that these are my choices, but many have shared comments that confirmed these choices as well. I picked six clips – some I wanted to choose have fallen off of You-Tube, but then I would have had to have the top ten which would be too much! Happy New Year.
I will start and finish with Peter, Paul and Mary – my personal favorite from April of last year – Right Field
Number 2 for me features Victor Wooten (with Bella Fleck) playing Amazing Grace on the bass guitar. This came from July
I had to include one song with the Muppets – here is Joan Baez and the crew singing Will the Circle be Unbroken?
What else needs to be said – Mom loved you best – The Smothers Brothers and Yo Yo Mas
Sweet Honey in the Rock singing We Who Believe in Freedom
Finally, this last one is dedicated to dear Marin Morrison who lost her battle with cancer this week, but won her race.
Don’t Laugh at Me
They may have been your choices, but they were definitely the best!
