It’s night time in the big city
A woman goes through her husband’s pockets while he sleeps
Everyone’s either asleep or in the emergency room
It’s Theme Time Radio Hour with your host from coast to coast, Bob Dylan.

Amos MilburnIn the Middle of the Night“We usually think of our next artist as a piano pounding boogie master. But I wanted to take a second to show another side of him, his deep blue side.”
-
Manfred MannThe One in The Middle
-
Ray CharlesSmack Dab in the Middle“Sometimes ya play a song for just one reason. This song has a lot going for it: it’s got a swingin’ arrangement done by Benny Carter; The Raelettes sound great on it; and Ray sings his ass off. But the reason I like this record – it’s got the best recorded finger snaps I’ve ever heard.”
-
Wanda JacksonIn The Middle of a Heartache“She’s known as a rockabilly singer but she doesn’t get enough credit for singing straight country. She deserves it, too.”
-
Nick LoweHalf a Boy and Half a Man“…One of the forefathers of punk. He earned this by producing The Damned, and he made a lot of records on his own…you might not know this one, where he channels his inner Doug Sahm. His keyboard player does a pretty good Augie Myers impression too…That’s a knees-up rocker.”

Cole Porter“In 1935 Cole Porter went on a round the world cruise to write Jubilee. He took with him a piano, a small organ, 24 pencils…a typewriter, a metronome, and three cases of champagne. He said that he wrote Begin the Beguine in the Fiji Islands, after seeing a native dancer. I think it was after he finished the champagne.”
