Has anyone else done a song about Lodi, CA other than CCR “Stuck in Lodi Again”

@Zaphod42

I grew up near Lodi. 🙂

@Zaphod42 I got curious. I think it might be the only song about Lodi. Don't even know if there can be another one now. That one is the keeper.

@calicuz @Zaphod42 Riverbank here, and my late partner lived in Lodi before moving in with me. And the Fogarty's kids spent a day at my house with my kids back in the day.

I don't think I've ever been to Riverbank, but I used to go to Modesto for the Grafitti Summer Cruise, so I may have passed through without knowing it.

@calicuz Easy to do these days. Pretty much one big sprawl with back-to-back city limits signs. But it was a small town of 2,700 in my teens, and we had to bus to Oakdale High School. I was involved in a lot of after school activities so return home in the evening was mostly by thumb.
