There’s a young Indonesian guitarist who does some excellent covers of heavy metal songs. Her name is Meliani Siti Sumartini. She lives in Bandung, West Java and goes by the handle MelSickScreamoAnnie.

A number of years ago someone here posted this video of a college student (Julia Nunes) doing a rendition of _Build Me Up, Buttercup_ on the ukulele. I’ve probably watched it a hundred times since then. There’s something so magical but sincere about it. I _ **love** _ her facial expressions. It brings a smile to my face every time I watch it.

If someone else posted this, I missed it. Sultans of Swing - Dire Straights. This is one of the best versions ever. It must have been great seeing this live. The energy is palpable. As noted in the Youtube comments, the drumming takes it to another level.

The always amazing Abraham Laboriel. This is what full command of a musical instrument looks like. If the name sounds vaguely familiar, his son is Abraham Laboriel Jr., who has been the drummer for Paul McCartney for many years now .

> [@Whack-a-Mole](#): > > (the message board is now stopping all embedded video links it seems…despite the kludgy workaround that used to work when the problem first started) After researching a past thread on the topic, a method posted toward the end of the thread worked - right click on the video on youtube and select “copy video URL” (rather than copying and pasting from the address bar), then paste and add a forward slash at the end of the code. It worked for me, at least. ---
