My eldest niece Hannah has just spent a few days with me, having arrived to spend the next twelve months or so working in England. As you would expect of a Goggins she is an absolute delight, as are my seven other nieces. Here is a song for each of them, although I should emphasise that my niece Emily is a highly respectable young woman and not at all like her namesake of whom Gypsy sings.
"See Alice" - The Mummers
"Anna" - Arthur Alexander
"Brimful Of Asha" - Cornershop
"Ella" - M. Ward
"Emily" - Gypsy
"Hannah" - Hal Trotter
"For Jessica" - Jordan Klassen
"Maya" - Arik Einstein & Shalom Hanoch
Apropos of nothing at all, this is something that has to be seen to be believed (although even having seen it I am not sure I believe it).
And that is not the only reference to pretzels in Elvis's work. They crop up in this old standard as well.
