It’s past three
a.m. and I’m wide awake! It’s one of those middle of the night times when I
don’t want to sleep. Why? Specifically, a Jerry Lee Lewis video called Last Man Standing. Singing with Jerry
Lee is a whole array of older singers. Tom Jones, Solomon Burke, Kris
Kristofferson, John Fogerty, Willie Nelson, Don Henley, Merle Haggard and a few
others. There are a couple of younger ones like Norah Jones and Kid Rock, both of
whom I like just fine, but it’s the older ones that really take me back.
The songs that some of these singers made famous are the songs I grew up on; they transport me to a special time in my life – a carefree interlude when I hovered between child and young adult. I can listen to this music over and over.
And I do.
It’s somehow even better in the wee hours than in the light of day. I resent having to give it up and go to bed because I must be able to function tomorrow.

The daylight hours bore me. I struggle to get through the day and...
Come to life at night!
