It is getting nearer.

[NoviVespa]

The Indianapolis 500 is getting nearer. And with the split now over, the month of May looks like it will be much brighter.

So, to stir your hearts, I give you that song that everyone holds dear.

Indy?
Just another oval race. A popular one but still just another oval race. I'll watch it. I might even cover it.

[Turn13]

The Beatles were just another garage band

Anywho, that Marlene Dietrich song was from a movie called "The Monte Carlo Story", apparently, which didn't even have any race cars on the poster.

Somebody just didn't know what "Monte Carlo" means

...I've done a search before on YouTube for 'Back Home Again In Indiana' and found a video of it being played by a local band on a bridge in downtown Prague, Czech Republic.

I posted the original with Marlene Dietrich singing the song. But, here is the best version I have ever heard. The ballad is highlighted, but, click on the second song for "Back Home Again In Indiana." Sorry to say, the singer is deceased.
