    Not only is Audra amazing in this but her musicians are RIGHT there with every syllable, every vowel, consonant and every breath. THEY not only keep it together but it is they who allow Audra to shine. Without their brilliant sensitive musicianship no great renition is possible. Bravo guys!

    Born and raised in Baltimore! This song is hilarious. I like to substitute “Baltimore” for “New York” 😋

    When my mother told me don't forget your rain boots when it's wet
    I listened up, just like a good, good little girl
    And when she prudently suggested I should lose the cigarette
    I knew that bit of wisdom was a pearl
    But in all of the advice that I collected through the years
    I admit to you, with trepidatious dread
    Unfortunately, there was some that whizzed right through my ears
    Ah, WHERE.? WHERE was my mind, when Mother said
    Avoid navel-contemplating floppy haired actors originally from Baltimore
    Who excel at mime, collect stamps and have issues with their mom
    Sure at first they're very charming, their attention is disarming
    But give attention in return and dear they'll drop you like a bomb
    Yes, do avoid REO Speedwagon loving Christopher Walken imitating thespians originally from Baltimore
    Who can't piss unless their shrink says it's ok
    Why let them break your heart, dear?
    Put your head on and be smart, dear
    Put some bug spray on and make them go away.
    When my daddy told me look both ways before you cross the street
    I took his words to heart and I complied
    And when he told me be yourself, and I should march to my own beat
    I did and found THAT truth was bonafide
    But in all of the advice that I collected through the years
    I have to say, I am a bit surprised
    I missed the best advice that Daddy trumpeted my way
    Ah, where where was my mind when he advised
    Avoid narcissistic alcoholic think-they're-French-but-they're-not waiters originally from Baltimore
    Who deflower you, carry a copy a Fountainhead in their pocket and lie about their age
    Sure at first their eyes are steely, and their words are touchy-feely
    Have them cheat upon you twice and my advice is more than sage
    Yes, do steer clear of Renaissance festival loving food service consultants originally from Baltimore
    Who say they dance with NYC ballet but are really an administrative In-TERN
    For it's clear upon reflection
    When you give him your affection
    You will understand the concept crash and burn
    The singles world out there can be a scary land
    I have to ask, is it me, or is it Maryland?
    So if you can possibly avoid it, don't fall in love or lust
    Or have crushes on Boys from Baltimore
    Though indeed at first they seem filled with style and class
    Sure Cal Ripken's charm is actual but he's married and it's factual
    Pamlico is not the only place you'll find a horse's ass
    Yes, at all costs avoid ridiculous though amusing experiences cultivated in Baltimore
    Barry Levinson, I mean no disrespect
    If you have to go to Baltimore, and meet boys, do not marry em
    Although it's true I've heard that they've got quite a nice Aquarium
    Ladies, take your hearts and run as fast as little legs can carry em
    From Baltimore
    There are better boys in Boise
    Boys in Boise always call
    You'll have better luck in Josie
    Or St. Paul
    Well, not St. Paul
    But no matter where life takes you
    It just makes no sense to fall
    In Baltimore.
    Hey, where are you from? Silver Spring?

    Ha, that was great! "No, not St. Paul..."

    Silver Spring is closer to DC. I think Timonium would have been a better choice.
