London

The London symphonies, sometimes called the Salomon symphonies after the man who introduced London to Joseph Haydn, were composed by Joseph Haydn between 1791 and 1795. They can be categorized into two groups: Symphonies No.93 through 98, which were composed during Haydn's first visit to London, and Symphonies No.99 through 104, composed in Vienna and London for Haydn's second London visit.[1]

I'm surprised he didn't write a big one in C#minor.
That's one of my favorite keys, if I'm playing in E.

"Tallahachie Bridge", Bobbi Gentry

I was playing in a country band when that hit came out. It's hard to forget Bobbi Gentry.
She had one hit record, married a Senator, and hasn't been heard from since.
She was a good guitar player too.

I'd like to explain "A G6 over Washington".
A hip-hop artist made up the term "G6" to describe an expensive, secret and stealth jet fighter,
and other rappers and singers started using the term in recordings.

"Runnin' Back to Saskatoon", The Guess Who

"Blue Hawaii", as done by Willie Nelson

"The Seine, old thing", en Francais
