A landing on the moon? A free-fall dive over Niagara Falls? All of that and much, much more, to be sung to one-on-one by one of our all-time favorite musical artists, Leslie<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feiststore.com\/\">Feist<\/a><\/strong>. Watch below as a lucky lad, who has been plucked from an audience, is blind-folded and led to a seat on stage where <strong>Feist<\/strong> sings and loops to him her evocative gem, <strong><em>Baby  Be Simple<\/em><\/strong> (lyrics at bottom, off of her last album <strong><em>Pleasure<\/em><\/strong>). Beauty abounds all around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance is another in a series from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogotheque.net\/\"><strong>La Blogoth\u00e8que<\/strong><\/a> entitled <strong><em>One to One<\/em><\/strong>. In these performances a person in the audience is &#8220;kidnapped,&#8221; then taken to a secret room where a musical artist is waiting to perform a sing in front of the kidnapped person. There have been others in this charming series, including a majestic <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZX5rKg_taM0\">Heavenly Father<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_f2-88pyRtU\">8 (circle)<\/a><\/em><\/strong> from <strong>Bon Iver<\/strong> and this charmer from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xkOESj66t94\">Eric Johnson of the Fruit Bats<\/a><\/strong>.
