Fragments of Noir

Life's a game of chance

And you're one of the minor players

Look for what you love

The day to come harbours some

Round Midnight

(Monk/Hanighen/Williams)

fragments of noir: 'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
