too easy, i know virtually nothing about calvin and got it. might as well just ask for “lakeside city in europe”..
in fact, if you asked me to name 2 lakeside cities in europe i’d have a hard time coming up with the 2nd one…
How about KONSTANZ (Bodensee)????
not sure if i commented or not… anyway, very straight-forward for me. straight-forward doesn’t necessarily mean right…… but “european lakeside city” = geneva for me. i think other swiss cities maybe too but geneva is far more renowned for that than those cities…..
We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline…
Fittingly, Weird Al sometimes includes that riff (transcribed to the accordion, of course) in his medleys live.
