Falling Slowly--Oscar Winner from Once (great for a change)

Glen Hansard (from the Frames) and Marketa Irglova perform "Falling Slowly" during the Oscars. They went on to win, and Jon Stewart let Irglova come back out and say thanks after she was cut off by the orchestra, and it was a great little speech.

The movie is charming and real and effortless. See it.

Here's a clip from the movie. Filmed in two weeks for 100K w/ two handicams. Shows what you can do with a good idea and heart.

I bet he probably did...once you've been playing a guitar for a while, you get really attached to it, and as long as it still plays and sounds good, the outer appearance is just a part of its personality.

Oh he did. It missing part of the front board. I know what you mean about finding the right guitar. Willie Nelson plays a pretty beat up Martin and has for 30 years.

I see how this works. I think this song needs to be on the sife because it's so well done and most of the songs from oscars are shite, I think, so I'm willing to *beg this baby out of the cue. That's right. Bee biddley bee begging--as the irish say.
