George Scott (1944-2013)

He was a superb ballplayer, and always seemed like a very nice and genuine guy.

I loved watching him when he played for the Red Sox (in particular, during their 1967 "Impossible Dream" season).

Another Cat Power video

Previously, in this space, I have posted videos of performances by the singer and songwriter Chan Marshall, also known as Cat Power.  

I've loved a number of her performances that I have seen, on video.  Her soulful and poetic voice has taken me aback, repeatedly.

Here is another video, which is of a 2006 concert for the television program "Austin City Limits."

As is often the case with YouTube videos I enjoy, I have watched this video many times--or, more precisely, have watched, a number of times, the first three songs.  The three songs are from her 2006 CD "The Greatest," and I previously posted different live versions of the first two songs, "The Greatest," and "Living Proof." The third song is "Lived In Bars."
