Painting in the Skies
An evening pause: Fran McKendree, vocal, guitar; Lindsey Blount, vocal; River Guerguerian, percussion; Charles Milling, bass, vocal; Duncan Wickel, violin.
Words and music by Fran McKendree.
There is a painting in the skies,
Reflects the longing in your eyes.
Horizon widens, river bends,
Awakening that never ends.
First Kids – Ghosts
An evening pause: An evocative song from a musical that is presently in development.
What I like about this video is how it reminds us that every image, every movie we see, especially the older ones, can only show us a image of a human being that no longer exists, and is essentially nothing more than a ghost to us.

Loreena McKennitt – The Bonny Swans
The Fixx – Red Skies
Lawson – You didn’t tell me
Schiller – Sleepy Storm
Annie Haslam – Wildest Dreams
Kate Wolf – Two Way Waltz
An evening pause: A happy birthday song to Diane, performed live by Kate Wolf in 1980.
Two ways sometimes make one
Stronger than either alone.
So dancers join hands for a two waltz
Take all the steps on your own.
Insane Clown Posse – Miracles
An evening pause: The miracle of the universe as seen by two rappers. Worth watching and listening to, even if you are not a fan of rap. They get it.
Rod Stewart & Amy Belle – I Dont Want To Talk About It
Luciano Pavarotti and Queen – Too much love will kill you
David Garrett – November Rain
Yasuto Tanaka – The Swan
The Beatles – A Day In The Life
An evening pause: A wonderful song, but the images, most of which were taken during the recording session, will give you a taste of the wild, crazy, irreverent, and often foolish 1960s. Today, a half century later, we still are reaping the whirlwind of that decade, for good and ill.
Weird Planet fractals
Kseniya Simonova – sand art
An evening pause: From Ukraine’s Got Talent, an amazing performance by Kseniya Simonova, telling the story of World War II from the Ukrainian perspective, all with sand. From the youtube webpage:
What she depicts is love and the chaos of war, it is set amidst the turmoil of the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa (Nazi invasion of USSR during World War II) and the impact it had on a Ukrainian couple, the husband is drafted into the Soviet military and never came back home, years later his wife grows old and visits a war memorial to mourn him. The last picture is her younger self and her baby saying farewell to him… with the quote, “You are always with us.”
There’s a Light – We Choose to go to the Moon
An evening pause: A song by a band called There’s a Light, from their 2012 album Khartoum, expressing nicely in words, music, and images the human insistence on doing great things.
Hand shadow performance
An evening pause: An incredible hand shadow performance set to Louis Armstrong singing “What a wonderful world.”
