Lutenist Elizabeth Kenny – Introducing the Baroque Theorbo
An evening pause: “People complain a lot about the space that I take up”.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Larry L – Joanne
An evening pause: The song is by Mike Nesmith, written long after his time with the Monkees, nicely performed by an ordinary guy in what appears to be his bedroom.

Steve Miller Band – Fly Like An Eagle
An evening pause: Note that the song asks the typical leftist questions about the poor people in the world and how to help them, and the song’s answer is always, “Fly like an eagle, to be free,” which to me means only one thing: It is freedom and the American Dream that always provides the best solution.

Marshall & Alexander – Perhaps Love
An evening pause: I posted the original by John Denver and Plácido Domingo back in 2011, but it is such a wonderful song it is time to revisit it.
Hat tip Danae.
The Pretenders – My City Was Gone
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace. The opening chords should be very familiar to talk radio fans. As Jim says, “The 6 opening bars of the song are almost as familiar to many as the first 4 bars of Beethoven’s 5th.”
Knowing the subject matter of this song clarifies for me one reason why Rush picked it, back in 1988, when his show started.
Catherine MacLellan, Chris Gauthier & the Blue Engine String Quartet – Snowbird
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
Cliff Richard – The Twelfth Of Never
An evening pause: For Diane, on our anniversary this coming weekend.
Hat tip Danae.
Béla Fleck – Falani
A evening pause: All I can think when I watch musicians play like this is that their brains and bodies are in a place that non-musicians cannot imagine.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.

An evening pause: Performed live 1977.
Hat tip Danae.
Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose – Too Late To Turn Back Now

America – Sister Golden Hair
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
Angelina Jordan – Can’t Help Falling In Love
An evening pause: One of my favorite songs, first performed by the King in the movie Blue Hawaii and posted previously as an evening pause. This nice cover captures the song just as well, despite the singer’s youth and the lack of fancy camera work.
Hat tip Clark Lindsey.
Genesis Piano Project – Ripples
An evening pause: Performed live, 2014. The project goal for the two pianists, Adam Kromelow and Angelo Di Loreto, is to arrange and play the music of the band Genesis.
Hat tip Danae.
Bonnie Tyler – It’s A Heartache
An evening pause: Performed live, 2013.
Jerry Douglas – Route Irish
An evening pause: Is it Irish? Or is it bluegrass? Or folk? Or rock? Or maybe it is just good music?
Hat tip Danae.
Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street
An evening pause: There are some riffs that will always be remembered, even more than the song, even if the song is good. And this definitely applies to the sax solo here.
Hat tip Danae.
Pat Upton/Spiral Staircase – I Love You More Today Than Yesterday
An evening pause: From the 1960s, performed in the 2010s.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Dido – White Flag
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
The Ross Sisters – Solid Potato Salad
An evening pause: From the 1944 movie, Broadway Rhythm. It might be cheesy, but who cares.
