That Bradenton finished first in a recent Knight Foundation poll, surveying which communities felt most attached to their city, was music to Jane Tjornhom's ears.
A couple of years ago she penned, "Lovely Bradenton," extolling its virtues.
"Every city should have a song and we have one!" Tjornhom wrote. "It's a lovely melody, very singable and needs to be used at many occasions."
Here are the lyrics:
"You can travel East or West or North or South, but the place that's best is friendly lovely Bradenton.
"It's great to be in lovely Bradenton where it's so beautiful the whole year through.
"Beaches and sun --- community fun are here for you.
"It's great to be in lovely Bradenton where there is art and culture all year 'round.
"Come for a day and you'll want to stay in our fine town.
"Restaurants and shows where everyone goes are everywhere.
"Concerts and jazz relax you and take each care away.
"It's great to be in lovely Bradenton whre you make friends with nice folks just like you.
"Where's No. 1? Right here in lovely Bradenton."
