Chit-Chat Check-In #74: At Least Before at Last
+ “Before Tonight” by Souled American
Hello from Michigan, where I’m currently decommissioned and enjoying watching the last few leaves fall from the trees.
I also wanted to share a song I wrote about in my book, “Before Tonight” by Souled American, because I love it, and I also know it’s one of the harder songs from the book to find. Maybe I’ll do a version of “Anchorage” next, since it isn’t on any streaming service I can find. But for now, hope you enjoy “Before Tonight,” and carry on.
[Engineer’s note: “The book” to which Jeff refers is now a New York Times Bestseller! Thanks to all of you who pushed it up the charts.]
