National Opera of Ukraine – Nutcracker ‘Grand Pas de Deux – Adagio’
An evening pause: By Tchaikovsky of course. Performed live December 2020. Note how no one is wearing masks or social distancing. Apparently the Ukraine had some common sense during that time of madness.

Restoring a historic racing yacht after buying it for a dollar
An evening pause: The yacht, the Tally Ho, had won an important race in 1927 in Great Britain. The goal is to get this work done so it can compete in 2027 in a similar race in Britain that it won one hundred years previously.
Though after watching the video, it seems this is more like a complete rebuild from scratch rather than a restoration.

Posted so late because I spent the weekend doing taxes (yuch), and forgot I needed to schedule evening pauses.
Dovydas – Dreams
An evening pause: Actually Dovydas is a street performer who provides the background music and asks passersby if they want to sing something. Diane was listening to this across our house and I asked her if that was Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Nope, but about as good. The singer’s name is Brielle Anderson, as per the first comment on the youtube page.

John Fogerty – Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
Billy F Gibbons, ZZ Ward, & Orianthi – Sharp Dressed Man
Liz Callaway – Meadowlark
Johnny Nash – I Can See Clearly Now
Ballinator – History & Lore of 32nd of an Inch Bolts
An evening pause: Some engineering history for the weekend. I know the title makes this sound boring, but it is worth watching, because it illustrates the incredible complexity of some of what we think are the simplest tools. I wonder if the engineers in the space business are thinking about these issues.

Samantha Fish – No Angels
An evening pause: Performed live 2018. Good music and playing, but the cameraman was clearly not listening to the music, as he often couldn’t find the person playing or singing.
