Well, you’ve sent me down a rabbithole of Irish busking music. I thank you for that.

Here’s a fun live\* version of, “Miss You”, with Chuck Prophet and Charlie Sexton. I need more Chuck & Charlie in my life.

I’d say Black Flags live cover version on Who’s got the 10 and 1/2 is a great version, or at least is an excellent pre exercise amp up song.

She (and whoever accompanies her) have to travel for a couple of hours to get to Dublin. Second, she doesn’t need any money she gets from YouTube videos. She’s worth $1.6 million U.S. dollars. Third, she’s not waiting to be discovered in the usual sense. She appeared two and a half years ago on _The Ellen Show_. Why isn’t she doing world tours by this point?:

Maybe that’s her favorite way to perform? I only know her from her busking videos.

Nena’s album Cover Me is an all covers album with many great versions. I wanted to post her doing Neil Young After the Gold rush, bit couldn’t find a playable link anywhere. Search it out, it is great. Also great is another off of that same album…
