Bobby Troup – Route 66
An evening pause: The animation created to go with Troup’s jazzy version of this song is utter fantasy, imagining America as portrayed in culture, not reality. No matter. Sometimes the myth is better.
This also makes a nice pause to usher in the weekend.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.

Bobby Troup played a doctor along with his wife Julie London in the 70s TV series “Emergency”. I didn’t know it at the time that they were both jazz singers. Julie London was still pretty hot at age 50 in Emergency.
“Julie London was still pretty hot at age 50 in Emergency.”
Second.
Concerned–
I was not aware of that factoid!
Blair-
All for?
All against?

The motion is passed.
“Julie London was still pretty hot at age 50 in Emergency.”
