Ashley Campbell – Remembering
An evening pause: On Glen Campbell’s birthday, I think it appropriate to post Ashley Campbell singing a song written for her father in his declining years.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Claire Crosby – Can’t Help Falling In Love
An evening pause: A wonderful cover of one of Elvis Presley’s most beautiful songs. From the comments: “Elvis Presley looking down from heaven with tears in his eyes and his hand on his heart.”
Hat tip Tom Biggar, who wrote, “This is why we need to fight for our freedom – for them.”
I personally pray that she will be free, and that we will have the guts to make sure that happens.
The Knack – My Sharona
Pat Metheny – So May It Secretly Begin
An evening pause: Hat tip Rex Ridenoure of Ecliptic Enterprises.
Katica Illényi – Once Upon a Time in the West

Hat tip Cotour.
The Eagles – New Kid in Town
Atom – The Great Gig in the Sky
Respighi – Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite 2, movements 3-4
An evening pause: The first two movements are wonderful too, so if you want, start this from the beginning. I begin it at movement three only because that movement is to me one of the most powerful pieces of music I have ever heard. The mix of low and high notes I think creates vibrations that touch the soul. And the melody ain’t bad either.
Sean Altman – They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat
An evening pause: To put it mildly, there is practically nothing in this song that is correct about Passover, except the title and the humorous indomitable spirit of the Jewish people.
For tonight, the first Passover Sedar.
Duo Siqueira Lima – Tico Tico no Fubá
R. E. M. – Everybody Hurts
Oscar Peterson Piano Lesson
Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time
Rose Royce – Wishing On a Star
Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan – Don’t Lie To Me

An evening pause: He admits to doing some audio manipulation to his voice to get it to sound as it does, but no matter, it sounds really good.
Hat tip Cotour.
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Simple Man
B. J. Thomas – I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction
An evening pause: Performed live in 2011. Somehow this seems appropriate at the moment.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Celtic Woman – Faith’s Song
Ohio Express – Yummy Yummy Yummy
Santana – Soul Sacrifice
An evening pause: Performed live, August 8, 1970. A nice way to energize for the weekend.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Idina Menzel – Tomorrow
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young – Our House
An evening pause: A hit in 1970, this song to me was one of the nicest songs from that time, and in many ways signaled the end of the 1960s.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Looking Glass – Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)
Bucky Covington – Different World
A evening pause: Performed live in 2014.
Hat tip Mike Nelson, who notes that the song probably “resonates far more to you and me than the performer. The lyrics trigger vibrant memories of my life as a kid in the 1960s going to Redeemer Lutheran grade school.” I agree, as someone who also grew up in the 1960s going to public school in Brooklyn, New York. Yet, I also suspect that Covington’s childhood, born in 1977 in North Carolina and growing up in the 1980s, was not that much different. No computers, and as a kid you played outside.
And most important of all, you grew up with a mother and a father, who were committed to staying together to raise their kids. That time is sadly long gone, and the children since have suffered terribly because of it.
