Tune: Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan Words: Paul Kaplan 1. How can we turn global warming around And make it a thing of the past? How can we power our houses and cars Without burning oil or gas? How can we find an energy source Thats clean, inexpensive and vast? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind. 2. How many times can a person look up And never see blades in the sky? How many years can we drill, baby, drill And watch Mother Earth slowly die? How many more must we send off to war To secure our oil supply? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind. 3. How many years can a beach house exist Before it is under the sea? How many times can a person insist We all have to change except me? How much catastrophe must we endure Before we can finally agree That the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind? © 2009 Paul Kaplan Music ASCAP

A song for the auto workers. Can you believe I wrote this more than 30 years ago?!!? All I changed was the year, from 1962 to 1992. Im Not Broke, Only Bent 1.Ive worked on the assembly line since 1992 What else could a country boy in Motor City do Puttin parts in motorcars is just like plantin corn But a corn plant cant be shut down like my plant was this morn. Chorus: But Im not broke, only bent And even though Im feeling low and I havent got a cent Im not broke, only bent But Ill get straightened out someday And roll along the great highway Just like a brand new Chevrolet Thats never had a dent. 2.They say we cant compete with all those cars from overseas But I can build a car as well as any Japanese And I could have told em years ago, if they had only asked Just take the big gas guzzlers and cut em all in half. Chorus 3.I sure have had a lot of ups and downs throughout the years One thing they have taught me is how to shift my gears My motor is straining as I climb another hill It looks like I wont make it but I promise you I will.

Chorus: Were the number one town The number one town Amherst, Massachusetts Oh, were the number one town. 2. Well now it is our birthday For the 250th time And we are here to celebrate In music and in rhyme So let us raise our voices And give it all that we can give Singing Happy birthday, Amherst The number one place to live! Chorus 3. Our name has seven letters But the aitch is never spoken We gave it to Northampton Cause North-ampton sounds so broken. Our town meeting runs so smoothly Theres no need to rave and rant We can always reach consensus Except for when we cant. Chorus 4. Education is our business Its our brains that pay the rent Though we dont have any factories Factories make what we invent. We combine big city culture With the best of rural charm You can catch the greatest movies And pick your dinner from a farm.Chorus 5. We love our weekly paper Where so many wars are waged When we need some entertainment We just read the letters page. Speeding traffic was a problem That we couldn't seem to beat Till we found a great solution: Just don't ever pave the streets. OfChorus 6. We <b>...</b>

Here's an example of a mid-century home built by the Alexander Construction Company in 1959, in Palm Springs' Racquet Club Estates. This was designed by William Krisel, FAIA.
