Favorite Things....

I had a copy of this song on cassette from way back when. I had no idea where it came from, when it was recorded, etc. It's a duet of Natalie Merchant (along with 10,000 Maniacs) and Michael Stipe of R.E.M singing "Candy Everyone Wants." It's a fantastic song. I love the Maniacs' sound and instrumentation - they certainly were unique. Anyway, as it turns out, this was a live performance at President Clinton's inauguration. It's certainly not the best performance you'll ever see, but you can see how much fun everyone is having.
