Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
The Highwaymen – Highwayman
An evening pause: In memory of the many ordinary and great people who worked and will work hard to build good things, now and into the future.
Hat tip Cotour.
Three Dog Night – Eli’s Coming
An evening pause: Hat tip Roland.
Luna Lee – Sultans Of Swing
An evening pause: I think I like this version of this Dire Straights song best of all, as played on the gayageum.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Puddles Pity Party – Stairway To Gilligan’s Island
An evening pause: A very silly but quite entertaining cross-breed between the opening theme to Gilligan’s Island and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
The History Guy – Dandelions and Civilization
A evening pause: Some forgotten history worth learning. Might even make you want to try the plant in your next salad.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Radiohead – Creep
An evening pause: Performed live 1994.
Hat tip Roland.
Foster Brooks Roasts Don Rickles
An evening pause: For my younger readers, Foster Brooks’s comedy was based on his amazing ability to play a funny drunk. And he did it when Americans still could laugh at this stuff and knew there was no reason to get outraged.

Billy Preston – Will It Go Round In Circles
An evening pause: Performed live in 1973, which is quite obvious from his Afro.
Hat tip Roland.
The view from the cockpit
An evening pause: This short video shows us what it is like for the pilot and co-pilot as they prepare for departure from Frankfurt, Germany, on a cargo flight to Africa and beyond. Note that even though the crew is German and the airport is German, all communications with the control tower are in English. Note also that their altitude is recorded in feet, not meters. The American big lead in the commercial airline industry in the first half of the 20th century allowed it to set the standards, including the use of feet and English in these matters.

The Mash Report – Northerner terrifies Londoners by saying “Hello”
An evening pause: Nice comedy piece, based on far more truth than it could possibly imagine, performed as it were in I think 2017.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
The Association – Cherish
An evening pause: Performed live 1979.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Salut Salon – Competitive Foursome
An evening pause: This makes a great bookend to yesterday’s evening pause. And yes, they are having as much fun playing as the musicians yesterday.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
2CELLOS – Mombasa
An evening pause: 2CELLOS is Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser. This was performed live in Tokyo in July 2015. And boy, were they all having fun doing it.
Hat tip David Eastman.
Luke Aikins – Sky diving without a parachute from 25,000 Feet
An evening pause: I admit I could not have watched this live.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
Ivashka and Baba-Yaga
A evening pause: An entertaining animated cartoon from Soviet Russia, 1938. It subconsciously reveals much about Russia’s rough society of that time between the world wars. Even in the 1930s Russia was still largely an illiterate peasant culture, less than three generations since the freeing of the serfs and now ruled by Stalin and the communists with an iron hand.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
An evening pause: A short seven minute tour of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
You will never see a museum in this manner. And as they go by, how many of these flying vehicles can you name?
