A Stroll Though Memory, Time and Politics With Stops Along The Way
This fun meme was created by our friend Travis of Trav’s Thoughts. To join in, visit his page, sign in and then share your five musical choices for the week. This week a friend is visiting Los Angeles for the first time. Since this is about as close to a home town as I get, it made me somewhat jealous and put me in a mood for one of my favorite musicals – City of Angels set in the movie making era of the Film noir 40s and 50s.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.

cool set, thanks for sharing it.
Great jazz tunes there. I love that lazy kind of feel to the music. You know what I mean?
