Sunday in the Park Virginia Salter Big band band stand ain’t it grand! Cherry pie query Billy Boy with such joy the tunes revolve without resolve they tease our please strumming nostalgic heart strings touching melancholy of days long ago when black was black sweet was sweet gray was clouds and pin-striped suits and promises were true © July 22, 2001 |

nice journey VAS... not sure about the black was black line... as in some sense it could be taken to speak to racial issues prevelant during the times you mention... not saying it would be... just could... |

no, Cpat, it was alluding to black was black, white was white, not all this gray...thus the line gray was clouds and pin-striped suits, I had deemed I could leave out the white part of the cliché and make it less cliché ah, me...we'll see |
