I'd be interested in the songs too. I never heard any songs about Schenectady when I was growing up. The closest I recall is mention of the Erie Canal. I wonder if it's just me, or whether other people take where they live for granted and never explore the history or the things that make that place unique.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. used to live on my street. He moved out shortly after I was born, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't my fault. My uncle worked with his brother Bernie, and I think I have a black and white photo of a young, curly-headed Bernie with his son riding on his shoulders at (I believe) the Schenectady County Airport.
