Loch Loman--Interpreted

Two prisoners in a cell. One condemed to die says he will go home to Scotland(all Scots do when they die, he believes) via the low road, death. The other will live to go home- the high road. And that is the song--
You take the high road and I'll take the low.
And I'll be in Scotland before you...

And that's the song. Worldwide. Even Chinese schools teach this song in their English studies.

Edinburugh--Great Spires

The land is soggy. Barren rocky hills. So look up. That's where man put the beauty. More to come- Linnie

Huge CHAGALL Free

Two mural-sized paintings grace the Linclon Center Plaza on cloudy days. The curtains are drawn on sunny days. Just inside the Met Opera. Or see them at night from inside the building.
Secret: Russian born French painter, Marc Chagall (1887-1985) visited the Met for the installation in 1966. Unable to face a great white wall in the orchestra rehearsal room, he found scaffolding and painted an explosive impromptu mural, 2 stories high. You have to join the orchestra to see it!
Secret #2: West Side Story was filmed on the proposed Lincoln Center site, delaying the razing of the area for the new construction in the early '60's.
