[JJ McClure]

River of Dreams by Billy Joel.
I love songs that I can relate to a time or place as it helps give them more meaning. I can distinctly remember sitting in our rental car in the parking lot of Fort Laramie in Wyoming listening to River of Dreams. Totally random thing to remember from 25 years ago but there you go.

American Roots music loves a river metaphor.
