Posting a train song a day, eventually Marrakesh Express had to come up. I couldn’t avoid it. The thing is that I’ve never really been a fan of Crosby, Stills and Nash. However, I found this stylish instrumental version by Billy May and his Orchestra that I kind of like, so here it is…

Billy May was well known as a composer of television music, including the themes from Batman and The Green Hornet. He was also known as a trumpeter who played in top big bands in the 40s. I know there will some pop fans out there who will complain that I “dissed” CSN by posting the Billy May version instead but phooey on that. I know you can adjust. It’s my party and I can post what I want to.

Only 10 more train songs to go before we start into “Drivin’ Nails in my Coffin” – songs about drinking. So I suggest you prepare for the new series with a visit to your local liquor store.
