Posted so late because I spent the weekend doing taxes (yuch), and forgot I needed to schedule evening pauses.
Tag: entertainment
Dovydas – Dreams
An evening pause: Actually Dovydas is a street performer who provides the background music and asks passersby if they want to sing something. Diane was listening to this across our house and I asked her if that was Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Nope, but about as good. The singer’s name is Brielle Anderson, as per the first comment on the youtube page.

John Fogerty – Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
Billy F Gibbons, ZZ Ward, & Orianthi – Sharp Dressed Man
Liz Callaway – Meadowlark
Johnny Nash – I Can See Clearly Now
Ballinator – History & Lore of 32nd of an Inch Bolts
An evening pause: Some engineering history for the weekend. I know the title makes this sound boring, but it is worth watching, because it illustrates the incredible complexity of some of what we think are the simplest tools. I wonder if the engineers in the space business are thinking about these issues.

Samantha Fish – No Angels
An evening pause: Performed live 2018. Good music and playing, but the cameraman was clearly not listening to the music, as he often couldn’t find the person playing or singing.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill – I Need You
The Teskey Brothers – Take My Heart
Jeff Beck – Cause we’ve ended as lovers
An evening pause: Performed live 2007. The guitar soloist opposite Beck is Tal Wilkenfeld.

An evening pause: Performed live in Italy on September 11, 2001, at the very day the World Trade Center came down.

Alison Balsom and the Balsom Ensemble – excerpt
An evening pause: An example of some Baroque music as it actually sounded when written, using instruments of the time. This is a follow-up to the evening pause last week.
Sean Mann – Little Wing
An evening pause: Worth contrasting with the playing of Bach by Andrés Segovia, posted as an evening pause last week. Very different music but equally unique and beautiful. And the talent to play it is as equally magnificent.

Yo-Yo Ma – Bach’s Cello Suite No.1: Prelude
The Hollies – Bus Stop
Alison Balsom – Introducing the Baroque Trumpet
An evening pause: Another music history lesson to start the weekend. As she says, listening to baroque music played on this instrument explains a great deal about that music, and definitely tells you what that music was expected to sound like when composed, compared to playing it on modern instruments. Far more haunting, a word I would never have used to describe Baroque music before.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand
Andrés Segovia – J S Bach: Sarabande & Gavotte en Rondeau
Sam & Dave – Soul Man
Marcin Patrzale – 1st movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, on a Guitar
Watching a Falcon 9 liftoff from an airplane passenger seat
An evening pause: I think this launch was in December 2022, from Cape Canaveral. Makes a great start for the weekend.

Life in a nutshell
An evening pause: This is actually a very old fable, but the visuals here underline its meaning. And I think it is perfect for my birthday.
