A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
An evening pause: A slightly different pause tonight from a 1964 episode of the quiz show “I’ve got a secret.” Can you guess where the dialogue comes from that they perform at the opening of this segment, before they tell you? Also keep watching for a more accurate rendition, all done in a bit of silly good-natured fun.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman, who recognized it instantly.
An evening pause: If you have the skills, imagination, and proper tools, you can make anything. I run this at 2x normal speed, and miss nothing.
Hat tip Gene Shipp.
An evening pause: Performed live March 2023. The songs: Light on in the kitchen, and small selections from Strawberry wine, Neon Moon, and Wide Open Spaces.
Hat tip Alton Blevins.
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.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
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.
Hat tip Gene Shipp.
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 on New Year’s Eve, 2007. They are having so much fun!
Hat tip Alton Blevins.
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.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
