A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.

An evening pause: Time for some good 1960s television comedy. With Harvey Korman and Vickie Lawrence.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
An evening pause: The song is by Mike Nesmith, written long after his time with the Monkees, nicely performed by an ordinary guy in what appears to be his bedroom.
Hat tip Danae.
An evening pause: Note that the song asks the typical leftist questions about the poor people in the world and how to help them, and the song’s answer is always, “Fly like an eagle, to be free,” which to me means only one thing: It is freedom and the American Dream that always provides the best solution.

An evening pause: I posted the original by John Denver and Plácido Domingo back in 2011, but it is such a wonderful song it is time to revisit it.

An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace. The opening chords should be very familiar to talk radio fans. As Jim says, “The 6 opening bars of the song are almost as familiar to many as the first 4 bars of Beethoven’s 5th.”
Knowing the subject matter of this song clarifies for me one reason why Rush picked it, back in 1988, when his show started.
An evening pause: One of the silliest shows ever produced by television. These cameos however provide a nice survey of 1960s television and culture. How many do you know? And can you name the actor playing Santa?
Hat tip Max Hunt.
A evening pause: All I can think when I watch musicians play like this is that their brains and bodies are in a place that non-musicians cannot imagine.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
An evening pause: This is hard to explain, other than to say that sometimes style and beauty is hidden in plain sight.
Hat tip Jeff Poplin.
An evening pause: From 1972. The music is beautiful. Pay no attention to the hairstyles.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
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.
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.

An evening pause: Is it Irish? Or is it bluegrass? Or folk? Or rock? Or maybe it is just good music?
Hat tip Danae.
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.
An evening pause: From the 1944 movie, Broadway Rhythm. It might be cheesy, but who cares.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
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.
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.
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.
