Seven things to do
1. 42nd Street When you are on 42nd Street, you know you are in Tin Pan Alley and the heart of New York’s Theatre District. It became the title song of a 1933 backstage musical film, sung by Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. In 1980 a long-running Broadway musical immortalised it. “Come and meet those dancing feet on the avenue I’m taking you to – 42nd Street.”
2. Route 66 “Get your kicks on Route 66, it winds from Chicago to LA, more than 2000 miles all the way.” Those words have been sung to us by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, the Rolling Stones, Manhattan Transfer and John Meyer, among many hundreds of others.
3. Copperhead Road The song is an FM radio staple by Steve Earle. Located near Mountain City, Tennessee, Copperhead Road has been renamed Copperhead Hollow Rd due to the theft of road signs bearing the song’s name.
