Anyway, I really enjoyed your cover.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for commenting! Glad you thought this came out okay.
I had not heard about the Paris connection in an earlier version of this song. How very interesting!
I can relate to this song because I think you could go to any big city as well as many small ones and see the same scenes played out -- London, Paris, New York, Seattle, ... I see these scenes in Aberdeen, WA not too far from where I live and Aberdeen has only a population of a little over 16,000 people.
Thanks for your thoughts, Roger!
