I thought I had a song that was appropriate for this thread, but I was mythtaken.

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes

Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same

Love the other-worldly music from this multi-talented lady from Canada. This is just one of her many mythical gems.

Saw him live in 2009 here in Vegas, but the favorite version that I've seen on You Tube is the one with a 14 year old named Maggie Baugh. She was just as good as Charlie.

YouTube is replete with videos of amazing child/teen music prodigies performing with famous artists (new song thread topic??)

A quote from Miles Davis:

I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-xxx cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherxxxxxx just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out.

I wish Miles didn't hold back so much.

Given the generous interpretation of mythological, I'm gonna go ahead and tap into the Cthulhu Mythos. I'd never heard of this band, but this is actually pretty good. I love the background image, very Cthulhu-like.
