Time flies.
A song from 1939.
Another new day.
Yesterday was Saturday with a unique date:
10.10.2020.
Reminding us all.
These are challenging times.
And Stupid Covid is still around.
So roam the little streets in Singapore.
If you need to.
But don’t let your guard down.
And
KEEP THAT MASK ON.
KEEP THAT DISTANCE.
SG IS OPENING UP, LITTLE BY LITTLE.
Manhattan Transfer with On A LIttle Street In Singapore. YouTube. Video by bluevelvetglove.
The nightclub scene and costumes depict the rather cliched ones usually done by the West - coolie hat, cheongsam, mandarin shirts, etc. Yes, it was SG in the late 30's. And it wasn't a tourist visit but the typical sailor guy in a sailor garb. Yes, only the rickshaw was missing?
Tim Hauser, Laurel Masse, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel are on vocals.
Peter DeRose, Billy Hill are the composers and recorded in 1939 before I was even born.

Hi Andy,
Time used to fly by.
In this 21st century time seems to rocket and sometimes with a crash landing.
Cheerio you take care and have a lovely
Sunday.
Sad 2020 year and don't know how long going drag, yes glad S'pore is gradually getting better, hope it will come back to normalcy soon.
