Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.

Birds of Flame – Open Country Joy
An evening pause: This performance is a tribute to the 1970s art-rock group, Mahavishnu Orchestra. They add a bit of country to the sound, which works surprisingly well. Ignore the bad camerawork and focus on the music, which somehow for me works for the first day of spring.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world
An evening pause: The music is “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who rightly calls this “A moment of serenity from Okinawa.”
The Virginia Gentlemen – Lady in Red
Ides of March – Vehicle
Johnny Cash – Hurt
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.

Fingerstyle Jukebox – We Don’t Talk Anymore
An evening pause: The player is from Estonia, but no where on her youtube page does she give us her name.

The Duck Song
Smothers Brothers – Red River Valley
Avner Geller and Stevie Lewis – Defective Detective
One Direction – Moments
An evening pause: The teen-age girls in this audience could have easily been swiped from the audiences the Beatles faced when they first hit the world scene.

Embed fixed!

Brian Hyland – Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
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.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Friday Songs – Listen to the Music!
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.”
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Lilly Yokoi – ballerina on bicycle
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.

Eddy Arnold & LeAnn Rimes – Cattle Call
An evening pause: LeAnn Rimes here is 14, Eddy Arnold is 76. They make a magnificent team.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Stevie Nicks – Stand Back
John Arthur Martinez – Closer To My Dream
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.”
