Suggestions are: "New York City 911" by Dan Bern (time: 8:40); "Over on the Other Side" by Don Conoscenti (time: 4:31); "Take the A Train" by Duke Ellington (time varies by version); "Hope in a Hopeless World" by Phil Roy (time: 4:03); "Land of the Living" by Lucy Kaplansky from her album "The Red Thread" (time: 4:01); and "In the City" by Milton on "Milton" (time: 4:39).

I live on the 32nd floor in a high-rise building atop the New Jersey Palisades, and watched the planes crash into the towers and the towers collapse. Ten years later, WNYC and all other media will focus on "9/11" but my bet is that people in the New York area will do what they do best: work. New Yorkers will not care a whit about "commemorating" 9/11.

The songs I selected are ones I will recommend to friends and relatives who live in Florida, Colorodo, Washington (state), and elsewhere. They do not understand how resilient we in the New York area are.
