The Chieftains & friends – Give the fiddler a dram
An evening pause: Some post-New Year celebration.
Hat tip Danae.
Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Rod Stewart – Auld Lang Syne
An evening pause: For a good new year.
The Fendertones – Sloop John B
An evening pause: I like how they had recorded it over a period of months, and had an element of silliness in how they taped different sections. And the music is grand as well!
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
What happens when you wring a wet washcloth in space?
An evening pause: Some science from an engineering perspective.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Charles Mokotoff – Bach: Sheep may safely graze
An evening pause: Performed live November 13, 2010 in Springfield, Virginia. The aria might be one of Bach’s most beautiful, but the playing here is astonishing. Watch his fingers.
I also like the deeper meaning of the title: It is what we all should strive for: allowing people to live their lives in peace and joy.
Home Free – Angels We Have Heard On High
An evening pause: Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Newsong – The Christmas Shoes
An evening pause: An American vision of Christmas.
Sue Richards & Maggie Sansone – The Ash Grove
An evening pause: Gentle music for the holiday season.
Hat tip Danae.
Geoffrey Castle – Ring Christmas Bells
An evening pause: One man becomes an orchestra.
Hat tip Danae.
Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell – Begin the Beguine
An evening pause: From Broadway Melody of 1940. This is probably one of the best tap dance duet scenes ever filmed.
Hat tip to Phil Berardelli, author of Phil’s Favorite 500: Loves of a Moviegoing Lifetime.
Halftime dogs at Eagle’s football
An evening pause: Boy, would it be cool to have one of these dogs as a wide receiver.
Colin Hay – Goodnight Romeo/Prison Time
An evening pause: The first piece is an incredible acoustical guitar performance. And the second piece is as good.
Hat tip to Danae.
