An evening pause: Normally I prefer live performances. Normally I don’t like music videos edited with pretentious images, often about adolescent angst. This video is none of that. It is Johnny Cash, in his old age, looking back in time.

A evening pause: From the Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show, July 16, 1960. True, it is lip-sync’d, but the silly innocence of this bygone time makes it absolutely worthwhile. And I think this really does make a good lead-in to Valentine’s Day.

An evening pause: As noted at the youtube webpage, “a feel-good tribute to the Doobie Brothers hit.” It appears this guy produces a new cover song each Friday “to celebrate the best day of the week.”

An evening pause: About a minute into this I was thinking, this is exactly the kind of bicycle tricks that teenage boys began doing in the 1980s. And that’s about when she really got started.

An evening pause: For me personally, this song is perfect, on my birthday. Or as Gordon Dickson wrote in his magnificent science fiction book, Way of the Pilgrim, “He felt the urge to speak like a great hand at his back, pushing him forward, a hand that could not be resisted.”
An evening pause: Performed by the Eufonico String Orchestra, Rafał Nicze, conductor, as part of the 3rd Polish Nationwide Music Schools’ Symphonic Orchestras Competition, May 19, 2015.
The music here is soooo British, as it should be, written by Holst in honor of the St Paul’s Girls’ School where Holst was Director of Music for almost thirty years.
An evening pause: I especially like the silent interplay between the two. Very much all in fun, but with a nice spark.
