Midnight Fugue -- September 16, 2025

Locator: 49125MUSIC.

I can't tell the whole story but when I was sent back to England -- northern England, Yorkshire, near the Scottish border -- for extended periods of time between 2004 and 2007 or thereabouts -- I often went for midnight walks lasting two to three hours. I carried my little portable Walkman and listened to Hank Williams (senior).

Often, around midnight, every night, I would pass a small village church. The doors were always unlocked and I would go in, and I would sit in the front pew, and meditate, which mostly meant listening to my CDs on my portable Walkman. 

I never walked alone.

This song always reminds me of those halcyon days.

I may have to expand on this some day -- there's so much more to the story and explains why the military is such an incredible opportunity for so many. I can't imagine my life having not made the USAF my career. Funny how things turn out. 

And then from there, YouTube went to this:

I agree 1000% with whomever wrote this:

If they don't play this banger at my funeral I'm getting up and walking out! 

Time for another road trip!
