Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Corporal Matthew Creek – The Last Post
An evening pause: Played at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. From the youtube page:
In military tradition, the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day’s activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services
In honor of this Armistice Day, the eleventh day of the eleventh month, and those who gave their lives for freedom, something that appears at this moment sadly lost in Australia.
Imogen Heap – Blanket
An evening pause: Jeff Beck on guitar.

Harriet Krijgh – Kabalevsky’s 1st Cello Concerto
An evening pause: Hat tip Dan Morris, who provides this interesting historical tidbit. “Dmitry Kabalevsky, described as an opportunistic Soviet toady (three Stalin prizes, four Orders of Lenin), today seems widely forgotten.” I leave it to you to decide why, after listening to this selection.
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble – Riviera Paradise
An evening pause: Hat tip Cotour.
The Haunting
An evening pause: For the Halloween weekend, one of Hollywood’s best ghost films, Robert Wise’s The Haunting (1963), based on a short story by Shirley Jackson.
No blood. No gore. No violence. Only an overwhelming sense of dread and fear, evoked by brilliant filmmaking.
Fun Boy Three – Our Lips Are Sealed
An evening pause: A very typical 80s song, very sad, hopeless, and depressing. Background here.
Hat tip Dan Morris.
Eddie Van Halen – Another greatest guitar solo ever
An evening pause: Performed live in 1986. I suspect there are a lot of guitar solos that people will label the greatest ever.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
