Songs By Artists With American Cities In Their Names

I hope you've noticed that my last couple of music posts did not involve "Opposites." I'm trying (not too successfully) to break that nasty habit, but I won't make any promises. Here's another non-"Opposites" post, consisting of songs by singers or bands with American cities in their names. I may do a Vol. 2 of this at some point, highlighting artists with international cities in their names. But again, I won't make any promises. Enjoy!  ~  JH

We now return to our regularly scheduled music post miniseries.

There are plenty of well-known artists here, so you shouldn't "leave hungry," so to speak. You're likely to find two or three songs you already know. Or maybe you won't, if music's not really your thing. Anyway, enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With "Give" In The Title

Yes, this is another entry in my seemingly endless pseudo-series of "Songs With (Fill-In-The-Blank) In The Title." And yes, the next post will be "Songs With 'Take' In The Title." So, I'm predictable. What's wrong with that? I can say that, on this post and its follow-up, I took time to ensure the quality -- and not just the quantity -- of songs included. This is a really good collection of otherwise unrelated songs, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!  ~  JH
