As children, we loved some of the PA lyrical names: Chinchilla; Egypt; Forty Fort; Eighty-four; Shickshinny; Snow Shoe; but I think our favorite was Carbondale, because we would sing: I know a man from Carbondale, He gets drunk on ginger-ale, Now he's in the county jail, For hitting his wife with a dinner pail. Ah, the joys of childhood ! Evelyn
