A Timely Observation

 Song 549: Seven weeks after my previous personal friend song post, this week's captivating mover One More Midnight comes from another NJ folkie singer/songwriter buddy, John Sonntag, who also wrote the song, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Back in the 1990s we often hung out and performed on the same stages, to the point where we even discussed forming a musical partnership. This particular opus became the title track for a CD he crafted during that era, and while, unlike a few other rambles from that collection, such as Daddy Turned Grey (Song 297), I had not actually heard this one until recently, I can easily understand why he gave it that distinction. It does, after all, share the observance of the lonely light on the block, and after hearing the tick tock tick tock, like me, you also might decide that you're going to stay in and witness a new day begin - just wait 'til the light plus one more midnight.
