The Band – The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

An evening pause: From the Martin Scorsese documentary, The Last Waltz (1978).

Note that if a band tried to write a song like this today, sympathetic to the southerns who died during the Civil War, they would probably find their careers destroyed. So much for artistic freedom, and having empathy for all souls.

Anthony Hopkins & Andrรฉ Rieu – And The Waltz Goes On

An evening pause: From the youtube page: “[Actor Sir Anthony] Hopkins said he had been an admirer of Andrรฉ Rieu for several years and wanted to meet him, so he sent him some music that he wrote with Rieu specifically in mind to perform and his dream came true when Andrรฉ Rieu masterfully performed it with his orchestra.”
