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.

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.
