Winter Walk

This is in Sam Smith Park yesterday. The park is just two streets over from Anchovy World Headquarters. It was a beautiful sunny day, but there was a very cold wind in exposed areas.

I was thinking today that there are a lot of songs about walking. Here's a few that come to mind:
Walkin After Midnight, Patsy Cline
500 miles, The Proclaimers
Walkin to New Orleans, Fats Domino
Walkin in a Winter Wonderland, Andy Williams
I'm Walkin, Fats Domino (again), with Ricky Nelson
Walk on the Wild Side, Lou Reed
Walking on the Sun, Smashmouth
Walk Like a Man, Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons
Walking on Sunshine, Katrina and the Waves
Walk Right Back, The Everly Brothers
These Boots are Made for Walkin, Nancy Sinatra
Walk Like an Egyptian, The Bangles
I Walk the Line, Johnny Cash
Walkin the Floor over You Ernest Tubb

I know I've missed quite a few. Feel free to add links to your favourite walking tunes in the comments.
I'm going to tell you all a little secret. Walkin the Floor over you was the first record I ever owned. My father bought it for me to go with the record player he gave me, the kind where you put a penny on the needle so it doesn't skip. You all remember records, don't you?
