Thread Name: Lyr Add: Songs of Joe Jencks
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Songs of Joe Jencks
ChanteyLass suggested a song that's parallel to Jenks' "Lady of the Harbor" - It's "The Prettiest Girl in New York," written by Jon Campbell for the 1976 Bicentennial.
Here's a recording by Stephen Snyder and Kate Katzberg from the 1980s: https://soundcloud.com/stephen_snyder-1/song-the-prettiest-girl-in-new-york

I do get a thrill every time I see the "Lady of the Harbor." I believe in the concept of open doors to all refugees, even though our government has betrayed that ideal time and time again.
