Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose – Too Late To Turn Back Now

Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
America – Sister Golden Hair
Angelina Jordan – Can’t Help Falling In Love
An evening pause: One of my favorite songs, first performed by the King in the movie Blue Hawaii and posted previously as an evening pause. This nice cover captures the song just as well, despite the singer’s youth and the lack of fancy camera work.
Hat tip Clark Lindsey.
Genesis Piano Project – Ripples
An evening pause: Performed live, 2014. The project goal for the two pianists, Adam Kromelow and Angelo Di Loreto, is to arrange and play the music of the band Genesis.
Hat tip Danae.
Bonnie Tyler – It’s A Heartache
Jerry Douglas – Route Irish
An evening pause: Is it Irish? Or is it bluegrass? Or folk? Or rock? Or maybe it is just good music?
Hat tip Danae.
Making chain
Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street
An evening pause: There are some riffs that will always be remembered, even more than the song, even if the song is good. And this definitely applies to the sax solo here.
Hat tip Danae.
Pat Upton/Spiral Staircase – I Love You More Today Than Yesterday
Dido – White Flag
The Ross Sisters – Solid Potato Salad
An evening pause: From the 1944 movie, Broadway Rhythm. It might be cheesy, but who cares.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
Sergei Prokofiev – Symphony No. 1 (the Classical), last movement
Randy Newman – Better Off Dead
An evening pause: This song is an incredible downer, something that usually holds no interest for me. However, considering the politics in the past year, and what might come in the months ahead, it might be the best we can hope for.
Hat tip Dan Covert.
Christy Moore – The January Man
An evening pause: To signal the end of one year, and the arrival of another.
The January man is here,
The start of each and every year
Along the road forever,
Forever,
Forever.
Dick van Dyke and Julie Andrews – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
An evening pause: With high hopes for the new year.
Hat tip Edward Thelen, who I thank for trying to offer me videos from a source other than youtube. Unfortunately, by the time this appeared, it was gone at that source and I had to rely on youtube.
How Do They Knit a Chain-Link Fence?
An evening pause: Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
As always, I could use some evening pause suggestions. If you’ve done it before, you know what to do. If you haven’t but wish to submit something, say so in a comment here, but don’t post the link to the suggestion. I will email you for it.
Prayer about Getting Old
An evening pause: Fitting for the end of the year.
Stay with it. It isn’t exactly what you think, based on the start.
Hat tip Danae.
Tim Hawkins – Hip Replacement Song
An evening pause: Somehow, this seems appropriate following the holiday season.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Palmerston North Boys’ High School – Prayer Of The Children
An evening pause: Once again, for my Christian readers, on this their Christmas holiday, with deep abiding good will.
Hat tip Danae.
Come, ye thankful people, come
Pentatonix – White Winter Hymnal
Carol Of The Bells
An evening pause: Let’s both listen, and watch, as the song is performed acapella and in American Sign Language.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Sussin Family annual Christmas light display
An evening pause: Halfway through this I was wondering if there really was a house amidst the display. There is. This was their 2017 display.
Hat tip Danae.

Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
