I don't know if I've ever seen worse. What is pinga?
Brazilian moonshine. Legal too.
Cachaça (IPA: [ÌkaȃasP]) is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. It is also known as "aguardente", "pinga", "caninha" or other names. Cachaça is mostly produced in Brazil, where 1.5 billion liters (396.4 million gallons) are consumed annually (roughly eight litres per head), compared with 15 million liters (3.964 million gallons) outside the country.[1] Cachaça is, "...the product of the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice, with its alcohol strength anywhere from 38% to 80% by volume. When it is homemade it can be as strong as the distiller wants. Up to six grams per liter of sugar may be added."[2]
Cachaça differs from rum in that it is made from sugarcane juice while rum is made from either molasses or sugarcane juice then aged in oak barrels.
1.3 billion liters of Cachaça is produced each year. Only 1% of this production is exported (mainly to Germany).[3]. Outside Brazil, cachaça is used almost exclusively as an ingredient in tropical drinks, with the caipirinha being the most famous cocktail.
The caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil.

Yep, I like that one too. And I am not what anyone would call a big fan of country music but I like some of it and I like that one. And just about anything with Allison Kraus (sp?).

I get punchy just hearing the theme song (Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph).
I was listening to the Rome Show awhile back and they played that song for maybe 50 minutes of the show.
I had to pull over I was LOL so hard !
Benny Hill was the good olde days.

James, I've found a different program just this morning and it plays videos saved in mp4 format.
I'd previously downloaded a different program that allows me to save youtube video to audio; but this a.m. I downloaded the program which allows you to save to video (in mp4 or flv; I saved in mp4). I couldn't play mp4 in windows media player or media monkey (the other program I'd downloaded some time ago).
The one you linked me to appears to require payment...unless I'm mistaken.
If the one I linked you to requires payment I cheated them, ahaha. Seriously, it is free. I just have installed it and it seems to work fine. I had never heard of the one you mentioned (but I will stipulate that there are plenty of things I have never heard of). The Applian download also has a link to another one called Replay Media Catcher and I got it too. Haven't used it yet so I can't say if it is good, bad, or average.

Capoeira is a form of martial arts combined with dance. From what I understand Gusmao is a master in Capoeira and iirc has a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
The following is from A SHORT HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO CAPOEIRA
NOWADAYS, it is thought that slaves from Angola, who were first brought to Brazil in the 16th century, developed Capoeira as a self-defense technique.
Basing themselves on traditional African dances and rituals, these slaves practiced Capoeira in the work free hours left to them, thus training both mind and body for combat situations. As the slave-masters forbade any kind of martial art, it was cloaked in the guise of an innocent-looking recreational dance. In the 17th century escaped-slaves founded a number of "quilombos" (hidden slave-governed territories), in which the Art of Capoeira was further perfected.
The inhabitants of Palmares, the largest of the quilombos, fought a decade-long war against their colonial oppressors. Capoeira was used not only in direct combat, it also inspired the battle strategy itself; feigning retreat, thus luring the over-confident enemy into remote territories only to strike back at an unsuspecting place and time.
The official prohibition of Capoeira remained even after slavery was abolished in 1888. It was nevertheless practiced by the poorer population on public hollidays, during work-free hours and similar occasions. Riots, caused also by police interference, were common. Persecution and punishment were almost successful in eradicating Capoeira from the "streets" of Brazil by the 1920's.
In spite of the ban, Master Bimba and Master Pastinha founded the first Capoeira schools in Salvador, Bahia. Master Bimba created a new style, the "Capoeira Regional" (as opposed to the tratditional "Capoeira Angola") by incorporating new moves and techniques and was finally successful in convincing the authorities of the cultural value of Capoeira, thus ending the official ban in the 1930's.

Not to pick nits but Jimi's playing an electric guitar in this song, not an acoustic guitar. The tone of an acoustic guitar is completely different. Besides that, in the middle of the song you can hear where he switches his pickup selector from one pickup to another, creating a completely different sound. No big deal, just an FYI.
