I didn’t know there were so many songs about Warsaw. There are probably more songs about Warsaw than there are about Washington, DC.

“Billy Joel - Allentown”

More than a song, it’s a piece of history.

[Songcraft]

Interesting songs.

Along slightly different lines, here is some more Detroit music.

       "C.C. Rider" - Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

[Fiji Hill]

I first heard Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels in Rotterdam, Holland, over a radio station broadcasting from England. I thought it curious that an English station would be broadcasting a song by a group from Detroit.

By the way, a C. C. Rider is a country circuit rider, a Methodist minister who must travel by horse between several rural congregations that make up his "circuit"--in other words, a guy who gets around.

Here's an earlier--but not the original--version of the song.

C. C. Rider Blues--Bea Booze (1943)
