I think the Kingston Trio's old song , M.T.A. , could be the anthem for anyone living in Boston. I'm trying to share the YouTube link but am having trouble on my phone.
While it’s not a town per say I spent many summers on Cape Cod and grew up listening to ‘Old Cape Cod’. It certainly is a different place now than it was then but the song still brings me back.
My parents played James Taylor a lot growing up. Even though I’m from Northern California, “Carolina in my mind” always takes me back to my childhood home.
Great sub-subjects Jan. I find myself anticipating what you will explore next. I’m enjoying even more since I’ve become a paid subscriber, an ownership interest. Thanks!
I always got so excited when Get Back came on the radio because it mentions my hometown, Tucson, AZ. I still feel a little hometown pride when I hear it now!

Loved this post! Valley Winter Song by Fountains of Wayne is written about my town in Massachusetts, and it's positively magical.

This is awesome- your early years in SF sound like a Patti Smith dream
