New Amsterdam

Disappointed, but not surprised, that I wasn't able to find any video of the actual Louis Hardin, aka, Moondog, but this is a nice performance of one of my favorite Moondog compositions (albeit, poor sound levels), by Soli Brass & Zea.

Words are below the video.

New Amsterdam was her name
before she was New York
New Amsterdam is a dame
the heart and soul of big apple city.

No matter what name she goes under
I dig her deeply
and no wonder
for she's been lovely to me
and I'm the better
for having met her.
