Icehouse – Great Southern Land
Excavator mulches trees in seconds
An evening pause: The speed and efficiency in which this excavator mulches a tree is almost nightmarish. Makes me think of innumerable science fiction disintegrator ray guns.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Glenn Miller – In the mood

One minute changes a life forever
An evening pause: Instead of music, let’s watch a man’s life change forever, for the better, in only one minute. And forgive me for saying so, but it is freedom, property rights, and capitalism that allowed it to happen.
Hang Playing Hedge Monkeys

Hat tip Tom.
Steve’n’Seagulls – Thunderstruck
An evening pause: This Finnish band does a nice job of covering the AC/DC hard rock song Thunderstruck, but doing it in a bluegrass kind of way. The banjo player is especially amazing.
Hat tip to my lovely wife Diane.
