Gorka wrote about living in Bethlehem and the people of the area... My New Neighborhood; Houses in the Fields; Up Until Then Craig Bickhardt and Tom Schuyler wrote This Old House about helping Tom's relatives moving out of their house in Pittsburgh. (love the acoustic version of that song, if anyone remembers it...) Glenn Kidder of the late, lamented PA band Cartoon wrote one called Bargin' down the Mon. Jimmy Dale Gilmore did one, hmm, not sure the title, but Joe Ely covered a song of his that mentioned a Monongahela girl... And I've got some too, mostly about Johnstown, where I grew up- The Fire would Rise; I am a Millworker; This was what I wanted; Sherbourne Green; one I wrote about an experience I had with Deirdre Flint- You can't find a diner in Bellefonte (at ten o'clock); and an exercise from talking about songwriting to an 8th grade class, This is where I'm from. But you kinda gotta make it to the middle of PA to hear those...
