Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell – Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight
An evening pause: They are having so much fun doing this. Hat tip Jeff Poplin.
Just an ordinary story about the way things go,
Round and round nobody knows.
But the highway
Goes on forever.
That ol’ highway
Goes on forever.

Bell X1 – She’s A Mystery To Me
A evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen. The camera work could be better, but the song is really good, and as Edward notes, “I have to say that any group with a name like this is cannot be all bad.”
What Happened to James Garner?
An evening pause: I previously posted a biography of Robert Mitchum by this same filmographer. This one, about James Garner, is equally worth a viewing. And like the Mitchum biography, it shows how humble and ordinary a man Garner was.
Hat tip Willi Kusche.

Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Alyce Tzue – Soar
An evening pause: The music is Monody by Christian Büttner, known generally as TheFatRat. The singer is Laura Brehm.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Park Ki-Young – Nella Fantasia
An evening pause: The music is by Enrico Morricone from the film The Mission (1986). There it is entitled Gabriel’s Oboe, a musical piece I have posted previously here as an evening pause. Here it is sung to lyrics written by Chiara Ferraù, celebrating the joys that freedom brings. “I dream of souls that are always free,/Like the clouds that fly.”
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who notes that this song is written by an Italian and sung by a Korean about the American aspiration of freedom. Seems to me that this illustrates two aspects of that American aspiration, one of which is freedom, the second of which is that freedom is something all people from all cultures aspire to.
Traveling Wilburys – End Of The Line
An evening pause: Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty. Roy Orbison was also part of this late 1980s band (they show a framed photo of him in this video), but he passed way before the band’s second album in 1990 was recorded.
