'Girl on the Jersey Ferry'

[tadao]

I was lucky enough to attend a concert by Ralph McTell, a British singer/songwriter of something like the Richard Thompson/James Taylor generation and mode, on a bill with guitarist John Williams, last weekend at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, which is part of the Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London. When he announced a song as 'The Girl on the Jersey Ferry' my Welles-radar perked up, and indeed the lyric is a fairly straight retelling of Bernstein's account from Citizen Kane.

The song's featured on what appears to be a legit YouTube channel, so hope it's appropriate to post it here.

Remember when the movie "Indecent Proposal" borrowed the story to give the Robert Redford character some depth?

yes, I noticed that last time I watched Indecent Proposal and wondered if anyone else cared that it was ripped from Kane.

As I get older I appreciate Bernstein's 'the girl on the Jersey ferry' more and more.
