Todd Snider "Just Like Overnight"
Leap Day! Our good buddy Abbey Road of Coupland and Devil’s Backbone venue fame shared little-known facts about leap year, including that women can ask men to marry and they can’t say no. Since it takes the earth 365 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes to orbit each year, we have to re-sync or we would wind up off by about 24 days every century. It’s not precise, but then, what is?
Todd Snider is a folk singer, truth teller, bon vivant, and raconteur. His music speaks to the conditions of life and that is ever so relatable. Go see him on the road for the full Todd effect. Music Fog pulled out one of the songs off his recent Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3 to feature today. By the way, Volumes 1 & 2 have not seen light of day as yet, so don’t go looking for them! Filmed in a private session last year, in Nashville, here is the Music Fog recording of “Just Like Overnight.” Something to ponder this leap year. We go day after day, until it dawns on us that something has to change.
