James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti – It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World
An evening pause: Hat tip Doug Johnson
Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Justin Johnson – Ghost of the Mountain
An evening pause: Haunting.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
Steve Ibsen – The Kitty Cat Dance
An evening pause: I posted this as an evening pause a dozen years ago. Diane found it again and said it must be posted again. I agree. It is absurdly silly but I guarantee that once you watch you will never forget it. It also appears, from the comments on the youtube page, that young children — who understand the importance of silly — like it especially.
Dusty Henricksen’s snowboard run in 2020 U.S. Open

Hat tip Judd Clark.
Tina Turner – Proud Mary
An evening pause: Performed live during her 1996-1997 Wildest Dreams tour. May she rest in peace.
Hat tip Rex Ridenoure.
Jethro Tull – For Michael Collins Jeffrey and Me
A evening pause: This song seems fitting on this, the anniversary of the day Neil Armstrong took the first human step on the Moon. The song however honors Mike Collins, who remained in orbit on Columbia, never to touch the surface of the Moon itself.

FanTECHstic – How Reese’s PB Cups Are Made
An evening pause: Another example of how engineering enhances the way we live.

Hat tip to Tom Donohue, who correctly adds, “Interesting mix of music cultures.”
Chase Hiller – Skateboarding down a mountain in Columbia
An evening pause: For the weekend, some recreational activity. There are two or three cuts, but in general he makes the whole run non-stop. If you want to get your palms sweating play some of this at 2x normal speed. The location is in San Felix, Columbia.
Hat tip Tom Wilson.
The Turtles – Happy Together
An evening pause: Performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show, 1967.
