Lockdown Musical Interlude--ESPECIALLY WONDERFUL SONGS: April Day 13, 2020

I'm still in a romantic mood.  Here's another Michael Franks song that grabbed me.  I loved living in New York when I did.  It seemed that every moment was an adventure or filled with wonder.  In this song, from the very beginning there is a sense of magic and a promise of good things coming coming up.  The lyrics have such great imagery, I can see the drive down the Hudson, feel Central Park in summer, remember loosing ourselves in great museums, recalling all the fun we had dancing to live music in a basement lounge.   I also love Michael Franks's use of tropical rhythms.  Are those appropriate?  Why not...New York rocks.

13:  Song name:  Summer In New York
