I wonder if she had a dog named "cat"?

If she did, it was probably a Siamese cat. Their personalities are in many ways dog-like.

I used to "walk" my calico cat by letting her out and walk around freely as I kept an eye on her.

Mountain ~ Nantucket Sleighride "

Thanks for the link.

By the way, they say the phrase Nantucket sleighride" refers to an old time whaling ship. When the harpoons went into the whale the ropes pulled the ship from side to side and under water and back over the waves again as the whale took them on a "sleighride."

On Frank Sinatra....

Speaking of songs about locations, his Come Fly With Me LP was about going to exciting places. Charles Pignone said in an interview with Songfacts:

“He was just very lucky that they were able to go from the 10-inch to the 12-inch [records]. But he had envisioned that instead of people just making singles, to do a whole album thematically so it would hold people’s attention. It’s all changed now, because everything’s digital or on an iPod and people shuffle it, but you have to remember what a what a revolutionary concept - pardon the pun - it was because I think Frank felt that when people would drop that needle down, there’s 15 or 18 or 20 minutes on one side, and it’s pretty jarring if you’re all over the place with a ballad, then a tempo song. He really came up with the idea of doing these concept albums where they thematically, musically and orchestrally would fit together.”

Ideally, the State name should be in the title.

Ahhh, a fellow "Dr. Demento" listener.

I used to listen to him when his broadcast was local. In 1975, I saw him do his broadcast live from the University of Southern California.
