Joe Bonamassa – Boogie Woogie Woman
An evening pause: Hat tip Judd Clark.
The Allman Brothers – One Way Out

Hat tip Dan Steele.
The Battle of Samar
An evening pause: For Veterans Day, a story about the men who in World War II risked their lives and died to make it possible for freedom to reign for the next three-quarters of a century.
Hat tip Mike Nelson. For a much longer and more detailed documentary describing this battle, go here.
Poulenc – Trio for piano, oboe and bassoon
An evening pause: The players are Henri Sigfridsson, Rachel Bullen and Etienne Boudreault. The music is late 20th century classical. Though this can sometimes be grating, this piece is quite comparable in sound and melody to a lot of great 20th century art rock. And the instruments are unusual, the playing is grand, and it definitely gives us some variety.

Andy Kim – Rock Me Gently
An evening pause: Performed live in 2019, when he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Hat tip Dan Morris.
Taylor Davis – Nostalgia
An evening pause: Hat tip Alton Blevins.
The Beths – Expert In A Dying Field
An evening pause: Nicely done, in this age of no memory and a forgotten past.
How does it feel
To be an expert in a dying field
How do you know
It’s over when you can’t let go
You can’t stop
Can’t rewind
Love is learned over time
‘Til you’re an expert in a dying field
Hat tip Gavin Packard.

An evening pause: Performed live in 1987 on Martha’s Vineyard.

Bob Fosse – Cuarto de la Banda
An evening pause: A very different dance number from the 1969 film Sweet Charity, the first that Bob Fosse directed.
