Here is a fantastic late one for night owls, I suppose you can phrase "music for night owls" in many different guises, however, for me, it conjures up images of smokey jazz bars, late night drinks and mixed feelings over mixed drinks........so with that in mind, here is an absolute classic by another music chameleon that I have great admiration for.....

Indeed you can, and thanks for all contributions. For me, the essence of "Music for Night Owls" is music that you can pay attention to, when the duties of the day are done, when the house has quietened, and ... well, as Ian Anderson puts it in "Fires At Midnight":

I believe in fires at midnight ---
when the dogs have all been fed.
A golden toddy on the mantle ---
a broken gun beneath the bed.
Silken mist outside the window.
Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
too much hurry ruins the body.
I'll sit easy ... fan the spark

The saxophone can be such an expressive instrument, possibly why I am such an absolute sucker for a great voice.

These two songs are testimony to the power of music. Thanks Pixie and Prof.......wind howling through the trees, rain soaked, black night.....this playing, very powerful and stirring.

Talking about the human voice..........
