Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Kane Brown – What’s Mine Is Yours
An evening pause: What makes the sentiment here good is that he is giving it all, freely, with love.
Hat tip Danae.
King Crimson -The Sheltering Sky
An evening pause: From an 1982 tour. Somehow the title seems entirely apt to me.
Hat tip Diane Wilson.
The Lemonade Machine
An evening pause: Rube Goldberg strikes again! I like how some of their events are actually very slow. Changes the pace.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Siobhan Miller – Bonny Light Horseman
An evening pause: With Aaron Jones on the bouzouki guitar, Jack Smedley on the fiddle, and Euan Burton on the bass.
There is music, and then there is music. The latter, as here, always sends chills up my spine.
Hat tip Danae.
Colbie Caillat – Brighter Than The Sun
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Strasbourg Saxophone Ensemble – Vivaldi’s Winter
A evening pause: Remember, this was written for the violin.
Hat tip Danae.
Big Bang Theory – If I Didn’t Have You (Bernadette’s Song)
An evening pause: Fans of the show will appreciate this more, but I like it because of its heart felt sincerity.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Singers from everywhere – Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay
An evening pause: A video like this could only be created by modern technology.
Hat tip Danae.
Pavarotti and Friends – All for Love
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
This pause is late partly because I forgot to schedule something, but mostly because I am desperately in need of suggestions. If you’ve sent me suggestions before, you know the routine. If you haven’t but have something you want to suggest, don’t post the link in a comment here. Just comment that you have something, and I will contact you.
Two Cellos – Benedictus
An evening pause: Performed live in 2012 by Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser.
Hat tip Danae.
The Seekers – I’ll Never Find Another You
An evening pause: From 1965.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Mark Doubleday – Shades of Cool
An evening pause: On many cellos. Music by Lana Del Rey.
Hat tip Clark Lindsey, who runs Hobbyspace.com.
Barry Humphries – Dame Edna Everage
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who explains, “Australian comedian, Barry Humphries, is Dame Edna Everage.” This appearance was on the Michael Parkinson Show in Australian in 2004, and included actors Judi Dench and Sharon Osborne.
This is what great comedy is. Many of the lines really make no sense, or are dated about things you might not know anything about, but you laugh anyway because Humphries is just plain funny, and has magnificent timing.
AJ Lee & Jesse Fichman – Across The Great Divide
An evening pause: A nice rendition of a song by Kate Wolf about crossing the divide between life and death, who herself died far too young.
Hat tip Danae.
Muriel Anderson – View From Space
An evening pause: Watch those fingers dance. The instrument she’s playing is called a harp guitar.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Mark Slutsky – Final Offer
An evening pause: Why do even alien lawyers get portrayed this way?
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Junior Walker – What does it take
An evening pause: Performed live on television 1985.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Ùr – The Waking Hour
An evening pause: This group’s full name is “Ùr: The Future Of Our Past,” but that’s incredibly unwieldy. Their performance of this beautiful song, however, live in 2017, is superb.
Hat tip Danae.
Harris, Parton, Ronstadt – After the Gold Rush
An evening pause: Performed live on television 1999. The strange blue instrument being played by Dennis James is called a glass harmonica (or armonica).
