"In Tacony/Mayfair in the 50's-60's..."

---

If you used to live in the Tacony/Mayfair area, you will know what this song is talking about (i.e., the "El").

"Can't Get To Heaven on the Frankford El" - The American Dream

[Publius]

Those are the Alstrom cars that replaced the Budd "Almond Joy" cars of 1960 that replaced the Brill center entrance cars of 1907, 1914 and 1922.

The song dates from 1970. I got this group to perform at a dance at Drexel in that year, but I was not impressed with their act.

"Can't Get To Heaven on the Frankford El" - The American Dream

I first heard that circa 1970 from a solo act...forget his name now...

Spent many hours riding the El.

I remembered five minutes after going to bed...Sweet Stavin’ Chain/Danny Starobin.
