AJ Lee & Jesse Fichman – Across The Great Divide
An evening pause: A nice rendition of a song by Kate Wolf about crossing the divide between life and death, who herself died far too young.
Hat tip Danae.
Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Muriel Anderson – View From Space
An evening pause: Watch those fingers dance. The instrument she’s playing is called a harp guitar.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Mark Slutsky – Final Offer
An evening pause: Why do even alien lawyers get portrayed this way?
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Junior Walker – What does it take
An evening pause: Performed live on television 1985.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Γr – The Waking Hour
An evening pause: This group’s full name is “Γr: The Future Of Our Past,” but that’s incredibly unwieldy. Their performance of this beautiful song, however, live in 2017, is superb.
Hat tip Danae.
Harris, Parton, Ronstadt – After the Gold Rush
An evening pause: Performed live on television 1999. The strange blue instrument being played by Dennis James is called a glass harmonica (or armonica).
Hat tip Danae.
Smart House
An evening pause: This is a set of two commercials. I have no idea what the product is that they are selling, nor do I care. They are hilarious, and speak well to the modern childish obsession of adopting hi-tech where no hi-tech is really needed.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Kasia Εaska & Jon Lord – Wait A While
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
The Carol Burnett Show – The Senator’s Wife
An eveing pause: Sadly, I think these characters are maybe more connected to reality than many we presently have in office.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
Berlin Brass Quintet – Puttin’ on the Ritz
An evening pause: By Irving Berlin.
Hat tip Danae.
Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson – I Still Miss Someone
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who said, “A song about longing and being incomplete.”
And seeing Willie Nelson without a beard in itself makes this worth watching.
Josh Groban – Try To Remember
An evening pause: A song that looks back at September, from the cold fading days of December.
From The Fantasticks.
