This Is Not America.....

[OwnedByFerrets]

I've always loved the song and the artist, Pat Metheny, but this version is especially moving.
When I sing along, I mentally change the words to This is NOT MY America.
Hope you enjoy.

3. Isnt it wonderful??

I cant tell you how many times Ive listened to it. I just wish it was on dvd. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I am in the process of wearing out my copy of The Way Up dvd. Its an amazing piece of work and won a Grammy.

4. It won a Grammy and it's not on DVD? How come?

Or are you referring to The Way Up?

Regardless, this performance is MORE than DVD-worthy!

And yes, it's WONDERFUL!!
