From 2010, please enjoy in breathless wonder Philadelphia-based power pop singer/songwriter/guitarist and stone musical genius Jim Boggia with the most jaw-dropping performance of Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road" ever witnessed by sentient mammalian bipeds.
I don't even know where to begin about just how brilliant this guy is. But I would be remiss if I didn't append this more recent performance -- from last Friday's Mad Dogs and Dominos show...
...at the Highline in NYC -- of him dueting on "Bell Bottom Blues."
Let's just say that when Boggia hit the stage for the first time, I turned to a certain Shady Dame and anoounced that I really, REALLY, want that suit he's wearing.

I've just begun learning to play the ukelele. Not sure whether this clip should inspire or discourage me.
Hey, danny1959: If you're looking for encouragement and/or discouragement, then Jake Shimabukuro is definitely your man. One of the things he does is a jaw-dropping version "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
My mind is blown, Peter Power Pop! Thanks for the link!
This is depressing because it reminds me that no one will ever write another song as great as "Thunder Road" in my lifetime. It is almost too great. There is nothing more to hope for from rock music -- I realize that now.
