Mark Wills – Jacob’s Ladder
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who correctly notes that “Country music so delicious, you could eat it with a fork.”

Florence Lacey – It Only Takes a Moment

Buckethead – Big Sur Moon

Hat tip Insomnious.
OutKast – Hey Ya!
An evening pause: I am generally not a fan of hip hop, but this music video is filled with so much happiness I can’t resist it.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who adds, “Andre’ 3000 sings and plays all 8 parts in this video from 2003. There were so many takes from different angles, eventually exhausted, he had his last character sit down during the performance.”

Angles and Dangles on the USS Pasadena
A evening pause: For Veterans Day, let’s take a ride on an American modern nuclear submarine, with Bill Whittle. I bet you will not be able to guess what the control room reminded him of.

Henry De Winter and the Bratislava Hot Serenaders – Livin’ in the Sunlight, Lovin’ in the Moonlight
<An evening pause: The little dog is an especially nice touch.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who adds that “The Bratislava Hot Serenaders revive 1930’s music as best as can be done with modern instruments.”
Natalija Havralenko – In A Sentimental Mood
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
The Star-Spangled Banner
An evening pause: During the 2015 Kentucky Music Educators convention in Louisville, the 500 high students in attendance would gather each night just before curfew on the balconies of the Hyatt Regency’s vast interior lobby and sing the national anthem.
I think it fitting to show this tonight, on election day. The United States will always hold the honor of being the first nation on Earth to attempt the great experiment of self-government, established by conscious choice with the creation of founding documents. For this, we will forever I think be remembered in human history, a fact for which Americans should always be proud.

The Script – Superheroes
<An evening pause: I like the words he uses to introduce the song, “You might wonder why superheroes are born, but I gotta tell ya, sometimes they’re not born, they’re made.”
Hat tip Andrew_W.
Matt Monro – Born free
An evening pause: From the 1966 film of the same name.
Born free
And life is worth living
but only worth living
‘Cause you’re born free.
