[LITTLE BOY, spoken]
In 1902, Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Avenue hill in New Rochelle, New York, and it seemed for some years thereafter that all the family's days would be warm and fair.
[PEOPLE OF NEW ROCHELLE]
The skies were blue and hazy
Rarely a storm
Barely a chill
[WOMEN]
La, la la la la
[PEOPLE OF NEW ROCHELLE]
The afternoons were lazy
Everyone warm
Everything still
[MEN]
La, la la la la
[PEOPLE OF NEW ROCHELLE]
And there was distant music
Simple and somehow sublime
Giving the nation
A new syncopation
The people called it ragtime
