You Tubes Worth Watching

I'm not a You Tube addict, unlike someone I share an apartment with... though I will say I always enjoy a good laugh, something You Tube readily provides, if you know where to look. However, there is a depth to You Tube that I don't often see, as my main channel of viewing YT videos is through Brian's recommendation. Clearly, there is a lot of nonsense out there, and certain videos that appeal to only a select audience. I did recently find (the first via twitter, the second through the suggestions that pop up once you're in the site) two videos absolutely worth watching because of the joy they bring, not through laughter but through music.

3 year-old Jonathan conducting Beethoven's 5th (4th movement):

Alice Dancing Under the Gallows (about music and hope in the Holocaust):
