Hi Bob.

I had to do a little bit of homework to understand these lyrics smile Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that given you are from around the New York region (if I recall correctly), "The Bowery" is the location below that Google found for me.

I've never before heard of it. After reading about it, though, The lyrics made a lot of sense.

Quote
By the 19th century, The Bowery had become a hub of entertainment and nightlife, home to theaters, vaudeville houses, and beer gardens. It was a place where immigrants, artists, and workers came together, drawn by the promise of amusement and the pulse of city life.

One interesting thing that I learnt is that The Bowery is where tap dancing began! That really amazed me. Just a couple of months ago I was watching some Fred Astaire clips and I was wondering about the origins of tap dancing. It was only a passing thought, though, and I didn't remember it long enough to do a 'net search. Quite honestly, I could never have anticipated that it would be through one of your songs that my curiosity would be answered.
😄

Now back to your song...

I thoroughly enjoyed it. You and Joliz have reached the stratosphere with this really fine creation. It is excellence on vitamin tablets! I thoroughly enjoyed where you took both took me. Honestly, Joliz's and your voices work so amazingly well together.

A super presentation that captures the nostalgia of the past very, very well.
