The crisis has been going on for a year, so I thought we would all benefit from watching good things. Quality music; amusing animals, great acting - just post a link so we can all share. I’ll start with 5 that I like - enjoy!

I put this video in its own thread back in January, but I think it’s worth another viewing. This octogenarian Japanese woman was a jazz drummer in her younger days, and she and her late husband had always dreamed of going to New Orleans. Her granddaughter asks the N.O. band if they will let her sit in. The video is fuzzy, but so worth watching. The whole thing is about 6 minutes long; advance the slider to 3 minutes if you want to skip the lead-in. Makes me cry every time. In a good way.

You’re so welcome. I love to watch it. I love it at the end when they go back to the hotel room and Grandma talks to her late husband. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-videos-to-cheer-us-up/938922.md?page=2)
