Paul Popa is back, and we have done that swinging song from 1946, Route 66. It was written by singer/songwriter/actor Bobby Troup while he was driving cross country with his wife Cynthia on Route 66. In the litany of towns that the song goes through, they are all in order except that Winona, Arizona actually comes before Flagstaff, although it follows Flagstaff in the song. To give you an idea how popular this song was, it was covered by Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry, the Rolling Stones, and many more, and I know why: because it's fun to do.
