While their violins gently weep

Joe Jackson has loaded a video recording of his appearance this past spring on the Late Night with Conan O’Brien show with Todd Rundgren and the string quartet Ethel here. They perform “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” with Ethel taking the solo slot until they achieve liftoff. It’s a great kick. (Thanks to Tom Edelstein.)
