Julie Gautier – AMA
An evening pause: As I watched I could not help thinking of the difficulty of doing this underwater. The music is “Rain in Your Black Eyes,” Ezio Bosso, pianist.

An evening pause: I especially like the instrument solos.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Louis Jordan & his Tympany Five – Aint Nobody Here But Us Chickens
An evening pause: Why do I think this song is describing the culture of the United States these days?
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Patricia Janečková: Johann Strauss’ Frühlingsstimmen
An evening pause: Performed live January 7, 2017 in Ostava, Czech Republic.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.

Hawaiian War Money
An evening pause: History is filled with little tidbits that are quickly forgotten, but fascinating in context nonetheless.

Pachelbel’s Canon in D
Star Swain – The National Anthem
An evening pause: Sung live at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. June 16, 2016.
For Memorial Day. And I think the big guy in the chair behind her would approve, whole-heartedly.
Craig McPherson – The Entire Appalachian Trail in 5 Minutes
An evening pause: Music by Kevin McLeod. When I lived in New York and began back-packing in the 1980s I would always spend Memorial Day weekend somewhere on this trail, generally in the Catskills. I understand well what this man felt at the end of the trail.
Hat tip Jeff Poplin.
Crazy Drummers vs Europen X Holland
An evening pause: This appears to a Russian show where drum groups compete, kind of like the cooking competition shows that took over the Food Channel. They don’t tell us who won, but who cares.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Tony Bennett – It Had to Be You
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Julie Andrews & Christopher Plummer – Something Good
An evening pause: O that face. Even with this poor recording, you can see why I said, in my very first evening pause, Julie Andrews had “one of the most incredible screen presences of any actor in the history of film.” And the lighting here, reflecting off her features and eyes with a glint, accentuates that presence.
From The Sound of Music (1965).
