Leonard Bernstein:

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

New York, New York — it’s a hell of a town.

We’ve got one day here, and not another minute,
To see the famous sights,
We’ll find the romance and danger waiting in it,
Beneath the Broadway lights.
But we’ve hair on our chests,
So what we like the best are the nights.
Sights, Lights, Nights.

New York, New York —
A hell of a town,
The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down.
The People ride in a hole in the ground.
New York, New York —
It’s a hell of a town.

Waking Up in New York

In the catholic boarding house, looked out the window and saw buildings, this one & the next are the views from the room I am staying in.

Dream: I had a dream that night that I did a series of sketches called “Here & There” which is a nice title I think. The Here ones were very close up details, soft, textured, abstract of somethings close to my eye, like the sheets on the bed. There was more like the buildings out there. Hmm, may need to match these with a few Here.
