CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Music Maestro!

"Theme From New York, New York"

Sung by Frank Sinatra (YouTube Video)


Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York

New York...New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York, New York!!!


Oops...

...guess we need to update those lyrics Frankie:

Damn if I'm not whistling New York, New York...

...puts an old CAT into the holiday spirit!

It's beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas...

HO HO HO!!!
