Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.

Echo And The Bunnymen – Lips Like Sugar
An evening pause: Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Ben Folds – A Song for Orchestra In Only 10 Minutes
An evening pause: This is quite wonderful. I am certain Folds did some preliminary planning in advance, but it is clear the orchestra did not have this info and he needed to bring them up to speed fast. Their musical skill, combined with the composer’s own musical knowledge and Folds’ clear musical instructions, makes this come together.
