). I vividly recall "Barefoot in Baltimore" from its original release, guessing that it enjoyed more significant airplay here in Baltimore (and regionally) than nationally. True?
Anyway, I want to write an item about the song for Fishbowl, and, if possible, speak to Roy Freeman; his lyrics are so specific to the city, and that specificity leads me to believe that either he grew up in Baltimore or lived here for a while.
Is he still alive? If so, can you put me in toch with him?
I'm happy to send along links to some of my stories if you'd like to see them, although that's probably besy accomplished via regular e-mail so as not to clog your site's bulletin board.
Please advise, and thanks for your help.
