Midnight - 1 am

MIDNIGHT.

Can I cry a little bit?

There's nobody to notice it

Can't I cry if I want to

No one cares...

Randy Newman's magnificent "Just One Smile" comes from Dusty Springfield's Dusty In Memphis (Rhino). It's the record you selected just ahead of that pile of Peggy Lee albums you keep for this very occasion.
The blue mood is irresistible now. The hi-fi plays "You Don't Know Me" from Ray Charles's Modern Sounds In Country And Western (Rhino):

You give your hand to me

And then you say hello

And I can hardly speak

My heart is beating so...
