St. Louis Sunday-Repost...Sorry!

ST. LOUIS SUNDAYS

Ye Olde St. Louis Arena



St. Louis  has been called the place of shoes, booze and blues,

Brothers and sisters, here's the news that will give you the clues,


If that's what you choose.


If you snooze you lose!






Budweiser is the "King Of Beers,"
It's been that way for years and years,
Go to the brewery and take a tour,
I'm sure you'll dig it, for sure!


Dad worked at Brown Shoe Company for a while,
The biggest in the world, back when shoes had style,
Like Wingtips with their classic design,
I still love them today, Am I out of my mind?


When it comes to the blues no one's got St. Louis beat,
Not even those "cats" down on Basin Street,
Jazz and blues, big part of St. louis present and past,
Gave birth to the great Miles Davis and Fontella Bass.


Lazy people sittin' on the levy,
Come on and listen now,
Cause this is "heavy,"
When the "spirit" came and tried to move us,
That's when we knew that we were in St. Louis!

Meet me in St. Louis!

    1. I'm always grateful for your encouraging comments, Marty!
      I think I'll ask you to say a few nice words about me, after I'm dead!
      However, since you'll be the only one there, just have a beer instead!
      HA!

    1. You are not a mere mortal, Yellow Rose!
      You're an angel God has sent to cheer me up (and many others), and make me feel like I have some value in this crazy world.
      I will never forget how you have encouraged and strengthened me in times of weakness and despair!
      When I'm really, really, really, really, rich and famous, I'll send you front row tickets to my show!
      That's the least I can do, darlin'!
