Yes, ladies and germs of the Jitterbugginforjesus.com cult. As promised, we’re having a wingding weekend especially for night owls like yer Jitterbugger his self featuring great musicians who pretty much only come out at night (or did, as in the case of great night prowlers like the late and the great Ray Charles).
We kicked off the weekend last night with one of Jitterbugger’s all-time favorite singers Mr. Ray Price singing one of our all-time favorite songs we’ve been listening to since 1963 and never tire of.
I’ll hear from the English nerds now who didn’t like the way I ended that sentence, with ‘of.’ It brings to mind what Sir Winston Churchhill said when an old school ma’arm sent him a letter lambasting him over his reckless use of very proper English. Sir Winston–who was only one of the greatest writers as well as orators who ever lived, wrote her back to say, “Madam, that is the sort of nonsense UP with which I shall not PUT.” Great writers break all the rules and don’t give a hoot about tacking something like an “of” at the end of a sentence.
But I digress. And as regulars here know, when I digress, I digress big-time.
Here’s the late and great Ray doing that night time song.
Tune in today and tonight for more nocturnal music from Mick, Donald Fagen and Steely Dan and Lord only knows who else before this day and night is over.
