Yes – Changes
Meaghan Smith & Stadacona Band – It’s Been a Long Long Time
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra – For A Few Dollars More
Juice Newton – Angel of the Morning
An evening pause: This was first a hit in 1968 for Merillee Rush & The Turnabouts. Juice Newton brought it back in 1981 and it was a hit again. Both versions are unique and worth listening to.

Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.
Hat tip t-dub.
Birds of Flame – Open Country Joy
An evening pause: This performance is a tribute to the 1970s art-rock group, Mahavishnu Orchestra. They add a bit of country to the sound, which works surprisingly well. Ignore the bad camerawork and focus on the music, which somehow for me works for the first day of spring.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world
An evening pause: The music is “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who rightly calls this “A moment of serenity from Okinawa.”
The Virginia Gentlemen – Lady in Red
Ides of March – Vehicle
Johnny Cash – Hurt
An evening pause: Normally I prefer live performances. Normally I don’t like music videos edited with pretentious images, often about adolescent angst. This video is none of that. It is Johnny Cash, in his old age, looking back in time.
Hat tip Jeff Poplin.

Fingerstyle Jukebox – We Don’t Talk Anymore
An evening pause: The player is from Estonia, but no where on her youtube page does she give us her name.

Smothers Brothers – Red River Valley
One Direction – Moments
An evening pause: The teen-age girls in this audience could have easily been swiped from the audiences the Beatles faced when they first hit the world scene.

Betty Hutton – Murder, He Says
Marbles, Magnets, and Music (Synchronized)
Lorde – Glory and Gore
Conor Oberst – You Are Your Mother’s Child
David Byrne + NYC – Heroes
An evening pause: The event is one where the audience is enlisted to participate as a back-up choir for the night’s main performance.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Sasha & the Starlight – So Nice
Bobbie Gentry – Ode To Billie Joe
Celtic Woman – A Spaceman Came Travelling
Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed – Muleskinner Blues
Metric – Twilight Galaxy
Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield – Between The Bars
Brian Hyland – Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
A evening pause: From the Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show, July 16, 1960. True, it is lip-sync’d, but the silly innocence of this bygone time makes it absolutely worthwhile. And I think this really does make a good lead-in to Valentine’s Day.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Friday Songs – Listen to the Music!
An evening pause: As noted at the youtube webpage, “a feel-good tribute to the Doobie Brothers hit.” It appears this guy produces a new cover song each Friday “to celebrate the best day of the week.”
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Eddy Arnold & LeAnn Rimes – Cattle Call
An evening pause: LeAnn Rimes here is 14, Eddy Arnold is 76. They make a magnificent team.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Stevie Nicks – Stand Back
John Arthur Martinez – Closer To My Dream
An evening pause: For me personally, this song is perfect, on my birthday. Or as Gordon Dickson wrote in his magnificent science fiction book, Way of the Pilgrim, “He felt the urge to speak like a great hand at his back, pushing him forward, a hand that could not be resisted.”
