All the Cities and Towns on Route 66
There
are many wonderful towns on the old east-west Route 66, but the ones mentioned
specifically in the song are of course
Chicago
and L.A. to set the stage, and then the stops in between as named in the
song are, ". . . St. Loo-ey, Jop-lin, Mis-sou-ri,
and
Ok-la-ho-ma Ci-ty is migh-ty pret-ty; you'll see Am-a-ril-lo, Gal-lup,
New Mex-i-co; Flag-staff, Ar-i-zo-na, don't forget Winona;
King-man,
Bar-stow, San Ber-nar-di-no.
If you have a favorite "town" song,
have the sheet music and want to see it here, then please zip the music
scan file (gifs are preferable because jpegs tend to be messy and spotted),
and send to the following address:
old-music@cox.net
If you're wondering about the artwork,
don't. I got it the same way you would, i.e. by Googling the town name
for the file.
