Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield – Between The Bars
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
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.
Eddy Arnold & LeAnn Rimes – Cattle Call
An evening pause: LeAnn Rimes here is 14, Eddy Arnold is 76. They make a magnificent team.

Stevie Nicks – Stand Back
A evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
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.”
Milton Berle & Harpo Marx – I’m forever blowing bubbles
An evening pause: Time for some silliness. From live television 1959.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Gustav Holst – St Paul’s Suite
An evening pause: Performed by the Eufonico String Orchestra, RafaΕ Nicze, conductor, as part of the 3rd Polish Nationwide Music Schools’ Symphonic Orchestras Competition, May 19, 2015.
The music here is soooo British, as it should be, written by Holst in honor of the St Paul’s Girls’ School where Holst was Director of Music for almost thirty years.
AndrΓ© Rieu & Carmen Monarcha β Habanera
An evening pause: I especially like the silent interplay between the two. Very much all in fun, but with a nice spark.

Just an ordinary story about the way things go,
Round and round nobody knows.
But the highway
Goes on forever.
That ol’ highway
Goes on forever.
