Buster Williams - Concierto de Aranjuez/Summertime medley
I'm not sure what the meme is asking for here exactly - I mean, I like classical music, and I love some of it, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the challenge... then I remembered a few years ago I got to watch Buster Williams do this medley live, and it's absolutely brilliant. He mashes up two tunes that already mash up classical and folk music, Gershwin and Rodrigo, the blues and flamenco and jazz and classical, and turns it into this slooow sound poem, and he does it all with just four strings and a big-ass double bass.

So let me take this as an opportunity to salute one of my guitar heroes: Dave Edmunds. Edmunds' reputation as roots rock/"keep it basic" guy-- forming Rockpile with Nick Lowe and producing the Stray Cats--has obscured his incredible chops. And those chops are given a full workout on Love Sculpture's version of the Sabre Dance by Aram Khatchaturian.
4:51 of pure fire....
