    A British couple danced to "I've Been Everywhere!" last night. What an odd piece of synchronicity.

    LOL,

    That's funny...It's the "PT Way", You cruise thru life and something you read here makes you laugh and remember a thread.....

    -----------

    Cities-Talking Heads

    Think of London, a small city
    It's dark, dark in the daytime
    The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
    If they want to, if they want to

    CHORUS

    I'm checking them out
    I'm checking them out
    I got it figured out
    I got it figured out
    There's good points and bad points
    Find a city
    Find myself a city to live in.

    There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
    A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
    Look over there!...A dry ice factory
    A good place to get some thinking done

    Down El Paso way things get pretty spread out
    People got no idea where in the world they are
    They go up north and come back south
    Still got no idea where in the world they are.

    Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
    Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
    Do I smell? I smell home cooking
    It's only the river, it's only the river.

    "On the way to Cape May" (don't know who sings it)

    "Wildwood Nights"

    (the above two songs are probably only known by folks in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area as they refer to two populat seashore towns)

    "I'm goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come"

    "Point Me In The Direction of Albeuquerque" David Cassidy & The Partidge Family

    "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen from the movie Philadelphia

    "Dancin' In The Streets"...it mentions several cities including Philadelphia, Baltimore & DC, can't forget Pomona City......and I can't think off the top of my head what other ones

    LOL,

    Tiny Dancer just came on the cable musis channel.

    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    Jesus freaks out in the street
    Handing tickets out for God
    Turning back she just laughs
    The boulevard is not that bad
    Piano man he makes his stand
    In the auditorium
    Looking on she sings the songs
    The words she knows, the tune she hums
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you, and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
