MacColl's "D-Day Dodgers" may qualify, along with Hamish Henderson's "Banks of Sicily."

Roger: I had no idea your state songs was so gruesome. If Georgia could finally vote to get rid of the Confederate banner flying over their state capitol, maybe you could organize a similar effort in Maryland, and get rid of that horror. Write some new words to it, or something!

I've never returned to admire the gentrified waterfront. I'd rather just loop around Baltimore (I prefer the Eastern alternative). This shouldn't hurt your feelings, as I realize that you don't really live there, just near there.

But then, I don't like Boston either, which may inflame many other Mudcatters. I've lived too many years in the relative peace and quiet of the countryside, I guess. No more city driving for me, unless it's absolutely unavoidable. In Sharon, three cars in a row is a traffic jam. I see more deer and wild turkeys on the roads up here than I do other vehicles. I like it that way.
