Leningrad Cowboys & the Red Army Choir – Sweet Home Alabama
An evening pause: I can think of nothing more appropriate to begin the new year with than this performance. Nothing.
Hat tip hondo.
By the way, with the New Year I am in desperate need of more Evening Pause suggestions. If you’ve sent me suggestions in the past, you know the email address. If not, post a comment here saying that you have a suggestion (without mentioning what it is) and I will email you for it.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
The response to the future is bright and “When pigs fly….”
Never give up hope…who’d of thunk we’d be watching this in 2016 back in 1986?
That was . . . awesome. Somewhere Ronnie Van Zant is grinning, because ‘Sweet Home Kyrzygstan’ doesn’t have the same ring.
Now there’s a real picker-upper! Love the shoes, the hair, and the good ‘ol boys from Russia.
Awesome… Good music knows no boundaries.
Think we’ll ever see such a performance broadcast from Tehran…
Mr. Zimmerman, if you liked that I have a suggestion for a possible future evening pause.
Mr Zimmerman
I also have a suggestion for a possible future evening pause.
