Song about the 1967 riots
Hi All,
It's time for a musical interlude. Every once in a while I write a song about some Detroit related theme. I have written about the Garwood Mansion hippies and other things.
I just finished a song about this guy who was sitting on his front porch, playing back in 1967.

And they never returned!!!
I’m working on an old song about the 1967 riots which I heard my parents and all of the families in my old Detroit neighborhood sing years ago. I’ve decided to call the song “Mama, pack your bags ‘cause we’re selling the house and moving to Warren!” The original song had no name but was sung to the tune of “Old McDonald had a farm” by the over one million people who have left the city as they crossed 8 Mile Road into the suburbs and never returned since that terrible summer.
