The Ugly Bug Ball

Sung by Burl Ives

This sing-along from a compilation video of Disney songs was my introduction to the multi-talented Burl Ives. Ives's voice was embedded in my mind at a young age and several years later when I was watching the film "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" I instantly recognized his distinctive voice. While watching his powerful performance as "Big Daddy" in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" I saw a side of Burl Ives I never would have expected after only seeing him sing with a fuzzy caterpillar on his finger.

Fugue in g-minor (BWV 542)

composed by J.S. Bach and performed on the piano by Vladimir Viardo

I may have mentioned this already but in case I haven't on Sunday's I only listen to classical music and LDS hymns which is my little way of keeping the Sabbath holy and special and what better way to keep it "holy" than with Bach's heavenly music.

and here is the same piece played beautifully on the powerful and majestic organ. (Oh and careful with the sound in the beginning it's a tad on the loud side so you might want to have the volume down at first and then adjust it)
