Cuyahoga River by Kristin Lems

Kristin's timeless, poignant classic about the catching fire of Cleveland's beautiful Cuyahoga River, in 1970, from pollution. Like Randy Newman's song on the same topic, the song captures a moment in time in which Americans suddenly realized they had a serious problem and needed to address it. Cleanup has occurred and the Cuyahoga is now able to be used for recreational purposes. For complete lyrics or to purchase/download the song, please visit www.kristinlems.com

One of my personal favorites. I hope you post more from your earlier music so people can hear some of those wonderful songs. You have always spoken out on issues of the day and some of your songs remain topical today.
