Mohammed Rafi – Jaan Pehchan Ho
An evening pause: From the 1965 Bollywood thriller Gumnaam. It ain’t Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but it definitely has that 1960s energy and enthusiasm.

Larry L – Joanne
An evening pause: The song is by Mike Nesmith, written long after his time with the Monkees, nicely performed by an ordinary guy in what appears to be his bedroom.

Steve Miller Band – Fly Like An Eagle
An evening pause: Note that the song asks the typical leftist questions about the poor people in the world and how to help them, and the song’s answer is always, “Fly like an eagle, to be free,” which to me means only one thing: It is freedom and the American Dream that always provides the best solution.

Marshall & Alexander – Perhaps Love
An evening pause: I posted the original by John Denver and Plácido Domingo back in 2011, but it is such a wonderful song it is time to revisit it.
Hat tip Danae.
The Pretenders – My City Was Gone
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace. The opening chords should be very familiar to talk radio fans. As Jim says, “The 6 opening bars of the song are almost as familiar to many as the first 4 bars of Beethoven’s 5th.”
Knowing the subject matter of this song clarifies for me one reason why Rush picked it, back in 1988, when his show started.
Catherine MacLellan, Chris Gauthier & the Blue Engine String Quartet – Snowbird
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
The Complete 14 Batman Window Cameos
An evening pause: One of the silliest shows ever produced by television. These cameos however provide a nice survey of 1960s television and culture. How many do you know? And can you name the actor playing Santa?
