Hi all, it is now 4:19 am and I am obviously going through yet another sleepless night. My latest thing to keep my mind occupied is finding some interesting music on you tube that I have loved over the years and I put together my own P.A.W.S. mix. Thought I would share for any other night owls out there with time to kill…I am not sure I was able to get the link function to work here (still learning my way around but if you copy and paste you should be able to access).

(Note of warning – if you like pop music this may not be very interesting to you...)

So here goes:

I found this great Scottish tribal band named Albannach – this is a clip from them at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – very lively if you like drums and bagpipes:

Next is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time from a French duo by the name of AIR – I first heard this tune “La Femme d’ Argent” on the “Echoes” program on PBS and it took me awhile to hunt down. An excellent tune:

The next is a neat instrumental from Genesis (post Peter Gabriel) named "The Brazilian – great instrumental:

Here is another neat little instrumental by Cake – Arco Arena – short but very cool…

Next, one of my all time favorites from Crimson King, “In the Court of the Crimson King.” The music is set to some interesting but dark art:

Here is one of my favorite all time tunes, I Mother Earth's "So Gently we go."

And last one for the night is a clip from an action flick that shows Anthony Michael Hall (Dexter) doing a great little song and dance number from a recent movie named Gamer (warning - there is some gratuitous violence in this clip so if that isn‘t your thing then please skip but it is a wee bit of dark humor which for some reason keeps me grounded…

Hope this keeps some of you fellow insomniacs entertained…This is the only thing keeping me from climbing the walls right now…

Apologies for all the typos and poor grammatical issues such as missing parentheses, etc. My mind is still not firing on all cylinders...

I've found Enigma at low volumes while trying to sleep or just relax to be soothing... music tastes very with everyone...

oops - the last clip isn't Anthony Michael Hall...it is Michael C. Hall - my bad...

I claim sleepless nights for the fog brain...just wanted to make sure I have my facts straight...
