Music: “Allentown” by Billy Joel
Length: 3:45
This video is part of a project that’s coming along very, very slowly. The CD** of David’s music that I compiled to hand out at his memorial on December 28 has a list of 14 songs. I plan to use all 14 songs as soundtracks for videoclips I’ve shot and edited, and so far I’ve completed seven* (Biplane Evermore is just an mp3 with a photo, not a video), shown in bold and linked to the videos hosted on YouTube.

I took the train clips overlooking the Steamtown Historical Site on the second day of the weekend David and I met.
I chose “Allentown” as the second track (one of the only ones not related to aviation) because David was born there, he was a huge Billy Joel fan (Joel is also a major history buff), and he loved trains. David’s last project was working on his model railroad and I named it “Fieldingville”.
