Urban architecture and cityscapes were also major subjects for Hopper. He was fascinated with the American urban scene, our native architecture with its hideous beauty, its fantastic roofs, pseudo-gothic, French Mansard, Colonial, mongrel or what not, with eye-searing color or delicate harmonies of faded paint, shouldering one another along interminable streets that taper off into swamps or dump heaps.

I can't play this just once.  If I hear it once, I have to hear it three or four times running...

Lol it's one of those tunes I call a "brain borer". Glad you like it.

Is that one song I Dont by People in Other Peoples Places about Edward Hopper?

Edward Hopper might be a surrealist as well as a realist born only in America. Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" gives Edward Hopper's masterpieces heart beat of those live in their ordinary life -- full of solitude, anxiety, riddle, sustain..... Thank you, brendafofio.
