'Classical Gas for Guitar and Electric Harp'
Mason Williams, special guest appearing with Deborah Henson-Conant' on her Hip Harp Live tour.
March 7, 2012 at the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts,
Eugene Oregon.
Deborah Henson-Conant is a GRAMMY-Nominated recording artist and the world's premier electric harpist.
Composer and performer, Mason Williams, created a perfect blend of guitar and orchestra that has been recorded by hundreds of artists including guitar legends Tommy Emmanuel, John Williams, Chet Atkins and Glen Campbell (nope... NOT Eric Clapton). It's been arranged for hand bells, ukulele, harpguitar and an amazing number of other instruments.
Classical Gas has also found a home on-screen as the perfect soundtrack for dozens of films and TV shows.
Mason and Deborah performed three songs together;
"Spanish is the Loving Tongue"
"Classical Gas"
"Only You (And You Alone)"

Classical Gas is not an island though Mason Williams like Jeff Lynne I suppose, have managed to popularize classical music and bravo to them I say. Classical Gas and say Cavatina from the Deer Hunter movie are better known in contemporary pieces but Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo for guitar and orchestra is a 20th century work and has about 5 Classical Gas type guitar passages in it. It is pretty recognizable but worth watching the full 25mins. From the classical guitar POV I find the 2nd movement haunting. If there is one thing one must do before one leaves this world is see Concierto de Aranjuez live. No recording on any high end sound system can come remotely close to the live experience. Find the money whatever it takes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4iORlVcKjCA.html

In 1973 I was 8 years old and sent Mason a hand written note in the mail to tell him how much I loved his music. He wrote me a note back! He said when he came to Detroit he would let me know. To say I was thrilled is an understatement.

'Classical Gas' is probably the greatest modern-day, instrumental opus ever written and performed. I remember listening to this in the mid-70's with a full orchestra behind Mason Williams' masterpiece. This kind of music touches the heart and soul - and lets you know you are listening to incredible beauty and greatness.

To anyone who was a young adult or a teenager in 1968 when Williams recorded this & won 3 grammys for it. it was mind boggling. It became an instant giant mega-hit. No one had ever heard a driving classical guitar solo like this before. More than one kid got a speeding ticket driving to his original recording of this. It was at a faster tempo than this and over 40 years later its still the most aired, played, used in tv and film solo guitar instrumental of all time.

And it will accompany me from now on until the end of my life. This interpretation with the harp is, of course, brilliant. Thanks Mason and Deborah.

Classical Gas is one of my favorite pieces. I was a Smothers Brothers fan and saw it performed on the original broadcast. I saw it performed on the 20th Anniversary reunion. I have a recording of Mason Williams performing with Mannheim Steamroller. These are outstanding performances. This performance ranks with them. Ms. Deborah Henson-Conant is a virtuoso and, as stated below, Mason Williams still got it.

Hardly a newbie, harps are hard to learn/play. First off, a traditional harp costs over $10K and many school orchestras do not have them to rent.

I wouldn't call Deborah Henson-Conant "a newbie." She was born on November 11, 1953. She's nicknamed "the Hip Harpist," whose been active since 1985. She is also a GRAMMY-Nominated recording artist and the world's premier electric harpist. At the time that this particular performance was recorded, she had only recently learned how to play the song since it is considered a rock song and thus outside her usual genre of Jazz. Lionel Richie once said you can take just about any song, rearrange it with different instrumentation and make it a classic. It's all in the arrangement. He should know since he's done it.

I've never seen a "portable" harp like that! I could just see Harpo Marx running around like crazy, chasing the girls, then suddenly stopping - he pulls out a harp like this from out of his huge trenchcoat, and starts playing so beautifully as he did: like a talented but mischievous-looking angel! 🤣😊

Harpo was my favorite , he was so incredibly talented as all the brothers. In fact we named our beloved dog pincherdoberman pincher after Harpo , He was the best dog in the world he was gentle and smart and beautiful. And I miss him still To this day but this is a great song and it was very enjoyable to see these two artists play one of my all-time favorite classical gas.

Holy freakin' wow! I have heard many performances of Mason Williams "Classical Gas." I never heard anything like the duet with Mason Williams and Deborah Henson-Conant. I use the full name for Deborah because her name should be in a zillion lights.

Kudos for Mason Williams and the harpist. Mason has never lost his touch all those years. I just wish they had a mic for her as well (they were sharing one mic, mostly to his side) and I could hardly hear her.
