Well, the folk song genre's claim to fame is expressing universal truths, I guess. As an 18 year old driving through SF lost with my best friend we came upon the very neighborhood Malvina wrote about and without knowing the song's background at the time, we both started singing the song aloud as we drove along, laughing as we did so. <BR/>-Kim<BR/>Seattle Daily PhotoKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-37022443428408339622008-11-24T17:14:00.000+11:002008-11-24T17:14:00.000+11:00Now you've got me singing it too.
