The singer, Phoebe Snow, died recently, and the obituary said she took her name from “an advertisement she saw on a train”. Well, could be, but if so it was probably an ad for “The Phoebe Snow”, a train that ran from NYC ( I guess ) up through the Delaware Water Gap. I sixth grade our teacher took us on a field trip to ride it. She also took us to the old Met where we saw Rigoletto. I have to say I appreciate her efforts to show us the icons of a vanishing age, more so than I did at the time, of course.
