Where Are You From?

Just found this song about my town, Dayton Ohio. It pretty much gives a good feeling of the peacefulness here. Got me thinking, if you are from a city that has a song that represents it, then please, post it here.

Anyway, here is Dayton Ohio, 1903 but Randy Newman

Kailua-Oahu, Hawai'i.
No songs that I know of about Kailua but a song by the group "Olomana". Olomana is a landmark mountain in Kailua and the band, from Kailua, takes its name from there. Very nostalgic song about how it was in one's youth, there.

Well, as I am from Paris, tons of tunes...Among them, may be this little one, full of hope (“I love Paris in may”) because “April in Paris”is unfortunately not what we are used to...

So you know the Crazy Horse?

Edith Piaf, Under Paris Skies

I had to find a recent photograph but this looks good enough.

I’m originally from Mt. Vernon, NY, the home of the Mt. Vernon Bach Stradivarius. I left New York in 1974 and never expected to find a song about Mt. Vernon. I was wrong. This song came out years after I left, but the video was filmed at many locations I knew during the 26 years that I lived there. Music and life were different then.

I have lived in Colorado since 1952. But born in Waterloo Iowa. Therefore:

I have lived in Fort Wayne, IN most of my life. Fort Wayne is often called the Summit City since it is located near the headwaters of the Maumee River, which flows northeast to Lake Erie and the Wabash River, which flows southwest and eventually joins the Ohio River. This song works for me concerning my hometown and state.

Song?
Take Me Home Country Roads

Okay but post your favorite version that best expresses the true feeling of home. It is a beautiful song and your choice of home feel would be special.

Thanks, Mike. The United States Army Band Pershing’s Own is not in Colorado but at Ft. Meyer, VA. It's considered one of the military premier D.C bands but actually based in Virginia.
