Repertoire - Historical - New York Songs

 

Having decided that he better pay attention to where his bread was buttered as there is a definite demand locally for such music, The Bard Rocks started digging and discovered that, yes, he already sang and knew quite a few songs with historical and regional import, and, hey, they are pretty good ones, too. So, he learned more.  And then, because he loves where he lives, he wrote a couple as well.
