One snag with some Youtube videos is that they still have adverts embedded in them. Yuk.

Try this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhvcFmb9EKs Dohnányi - Variations on a Nursery Tune

OK, OK, OK - I get it. Those guys have GOTTA MAKE MONEY!

I've just clicked on this link, sent in an early birthday greetings email, and was confronted by Farage, of all people!

Worth hitting 'Skip advert' as soon as you can (assuming that everyone gets the same adverts: perhaps they're random?) to see/hear Piotr Anderszewski play a Bach Prelude from the 48.

Nice[sic] lockdown piece od Glass:

Might file that away to watch later on - providing I can avoid adverts.

Direct link - not embedded in browser is at https://youtu.be/jSAOrULT-F4
This allows full screen viewing which is not possible in some browsers.

There is perhaps a way to turn the adverts off - involving money no doubt. I'm sick of seeing adverts - even 5 seconds for G*******ly, or even W***s audio - or even some which are really very informative and oddly enough helpful. Yuk.

Ones which actually come in during the video are a total PITA.

I must say that I find this rather astonishng. I have never seen any advertisements on Youtube, and in fact I had no idea that Youtube sent out advertisements.

More than a year ago I asked any one here who was pestered in this way to let me know, but until now no one has.

I have been usng

uBlock Origin

for five or six years. It operates silently and reliably in the background.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

Naturally, no payent is required.

0ne of the fundamental principles of the internet is that money is never used, and commerce is looked down upon.

Incidentally another useful tool in connection with Youtube is the

Internet Download Manager

With best wishes for further success with Youtube.

Maybe you're immune, but try this one - https://youtu.be/hhvcFmb9EKs Dohnányi : Variations on a Nursery Tune, op 25.

You'll have to wait a while before the variations are interrupted.

If you have a way of not getting the embedded adverts it'd be useful to know.

Like Sydney, I also use uBlock Origin and have to say that it has kept most things pretty much ad-free.

That's interesting - I wasn't sure if things like that would work on video streaming. I'll have to try it on that link, in a while - though haven't get it set up yet.

Just tested Youtube on that link again, and first I got Nigel Farage trying to sell me some scam or other, and a bit later on - around Variation 5 - some guy was trying to tell me that there are "two ways to pay for a funeral".
Sure - I can pay in advance or wait until I'm dead! Do I really need to think about that in the middle of a listening session?

Will try to set up that ad block thing later on.

Just been watching the edted (18') video of the Handforth Parish Council meeting:

I haven't seen all of it, but is seems to be causing quite a stir. All I can say is - from what I have seen - that I've seen a lot worse in live council meetings, and on more than one occasion.

I do feel sorry for some of the people trying to get the Handforth PC meeting to work, though.

'Greetings to Stokowski' ...

When he was coming up to his 90th Birthday, one of Stokowski's associates asked several dozen composers and musicians to send him birthday greetings. Their letters were duly compiled into an album and presented to him on the day. Later they were published in a limited edition book form and a selection has just popped up on YouTube. It's interesting to note how grateful these composers were for Stokowski's championship of their music in the States. The list ranges from Samuel Barber to Michael Tippett and includes Khachaturian, Orff and Shostakovich as well as American composers like Aaron Copland, Morton Gould, Howard Hanson, Virgil Thomson and so on. Stokowski may have had his critics but composers were evidently pleased enough when he played their works! ...
