I just wanted to say I think "City By The Lake" is a pretty great name. It's lovely and evocative of what Michigan City is. Nicely named, person who named it. smile.gif

I'm pretty sure it comes from the old MC theme song -

There's a city by the lake that is really kinda great -
Michigan City, Indiana

Well - that's the first part anyhoo.

I never heard it until my senior year of high school when it was used as the theme of our yearbook. It stuck with me ever since.

I'll get the lyrics when I talk to my dad today. Or if you know him well enough to call him I'm sure he'd sing it for you. That song is imprinted in his DNA.

There's a city by the lake

That is bright and wide awake!

Michigan City, Indiana!

You can travel up and down

And not find a better town

Than Michigan City, Indiana!

Michigan City

Hurrah, folks, hurray!

Strong in December

And full of pep in May

And the water's always fine

In the good old summertime

In Michigan City, Indiana!

Does anyone remember "Michigan City Indiana Howdie Do" by Johnny Cash?

Stew McDonnell used to play it frequently on WIMS in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

There are a couple of Youtube videos with this piece.

I also remember the other song played frequently as well, but cannot find it online anywhere.

I own the album, but you can also find the song at You Tube in several videos. I purchased the album (still in its original wrapping) online.
