My vote would be for the Aaron Copland arrangement of "Old American Songs". My favorite is "The Dodger" but they're all great

I think ever so kindly of Ms. Reno and feel bad that she never got her pickup and traveled all over the country.

I would love to see the list of all 700 songs considered. I think that would be an amazing list. I would hope that Steve Goodman's song "City of New Orleans" made it on to that list.
