You don't need to tell me. I "got" Monk the very first time I ever heard him. A few seconds in and I was hooked for life. Congrats to that young man.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I also discovered Rhiannon Giddens last week, and felt like I had been living under a rock. She can make -and sing- some fine music. I'm not even a big banjo fan.

I hadn't heard Rhiannon Giddens before either. Wow, she's terrific.
I'm not generally a Country Music fan, but I love listening to Johnny Hiland play:

Super Bowl Halftime Show 2008

Tom Petty’s work has been a major part of my life since childhood. I’ve been to numerous shows in and around Boston and my friends seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being after he passed. I have a silly yet pretty damned cool quip regarding his Super Bowl performance-
A friend of my mother’s was over for the game. Her husband is a senior Boston-area newspaper photographer and was supervising a crew at the stadium that night.
Moments before the halftime show starts, her cell rings. It’s her husband calling, “Hi Honey, someone wants to say hi!” She can hear the phone being passed off then an oddly familiar deep drawl.
“Hey Jane, it’s Tom! I’m about to go play, wish me luck!”
Seconds later the halftime show kicked off and my phone started ringing. Annoyed that my father was calling me at the very beginning of the Tom Petty halftime performance (he knows I’m not a football fan but would tune in just for his show), I answered.
I could hear my mother and her friends screaming in the background. Thinking something was wrong, I asked my father if everything was alright.
“Dad! DAD! What’s going on?”
“Tom Petty...” he now had to shout to be heard, “TOM PETTY JUST CALLED THE HOUSE!”
That seems to be the type of guy he was. Immediately before one of the biggest performances of his life, he took a moment to do something goofy like that for a fan. Rock on, Tom.

I like Pete Seeger's version best.
