New Daisy Theatre - © Jay Warren
“There’s a double bill murder at the New Daisy
The old girl’s silent across the street
She’s silent waiting for the wrecker’s beat
Silent staring at her stolen name…”
“Handy’s cast in bronze
And he’s standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he’s listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes Old Furry sings the blues…”
- Joni Mitchell – Furry Sings the Blues – Hejira 1976
