An evening pause: Performed live 1982, when lefties still believed in freedom and peace and the immutable importance of each individual soul. Somehow seems appropriate on the ides of March.

An evening pause: Keith Donald is on the sax. Breschi, on the piano, has written other magnificent music. If you can find a copy of his “Language of the Land,” get it. I had posted it as an evening pause, but that video is no longer available on youtube.
An evening pause: Performed live 1968.
Hat tip Judd Clark, who notes, “Nice piece of poetry at the beginning.”
An evening pause: Seems to me, this expresses perfectly the level of thoughtfulness seen in many hard rock music videos, only it does it more honestly.

An evening pause: Performed live on the Dick Cavett Show, 1969. The second half of the clip is Cavett interviewing her about her autobiography Thursday’s Child.

An evening pause: The dance says the 1920s. It is also amazing how many different moves they do, yet every move belongs to this same dance.

An evening pause: Performed live 1990, four days before her 19th birthday. As every single commenter at the youtube page correctly notes, this is an incredibly difficult piece. “Many great violinists won’t play this in public, or even record it.” Just watch and see. If you admire great guitar players, you will be astounded by some of the moves she performs.

An evening pause: I posted an earlier performance of this in 2016, but that is no longer available on youtube. This is newer performance is without doubt as magnificent.
