Songs For NYC: William Bates

I have played music in NYC several times
with bands and as a solo artist.
The people there treated me with respect
and appreciation for my talents.
Being a lover of history, I was moved
to write 2 songs in tribute to this
great city. One is based on the story of
The General Slocum and the other
is based on the Triangle Shirt Waist Factory Fire.
The last is a song I wrote after
9/11 for NYC.

The Ballad of the General Slocum
The Living Heart of New York City
