London music - Kris

Question of the week:Do you have a favourite London musician, band, composer, or piece of music?

"A Foggy Day in London Town - I like the Ella Fitzgerald version, because we all have days like this, and it's nice to think that someone or something can come along and snap us out of it. And I love Ella Fitzgerald.

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
The outlook
was decidedly blue

But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
British Museum, had lost its charm

How long I wondered,
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere

For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere

Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere"
