morning, to all you jingling jimdlers who
were twisting the night away at jonifest
2001...i hope you have a fabulous morning after, waking up to a new world...
"When morning comes to morgantown
The merchants roll their awnings down
The milk trucks make their morning rounds
In morning, Morgantown
We'll rise up early, with the sun
To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
And the day is young
In morning, Morgantown..."

some morgantown guestbook comments:
"I miss Morgantown so much sometimes that it hurts!"
"I have been living in Morgantown for about 12 years now and I love it. I came
to morgantown from Los Angles Ca. and it is so much quieter here. You don't
have to worry about all the crime of the big city but at the same time you
have all the stuff that the big city has to offer. I will never leave the City
of Morgantown, I am proud to call it my home."
"Although I've lived in northern California for the past 23 years I was born &
raised in Morgantown and still miss it!"
"I have never seen such a big city that was as clean as yours..."
"I love you morgantown..."
"WHERE's BARNEY FIFE?" (actor don knotts, born in morgantown, july 21, 1924)
last but not least doris haddock, known as granny D., walking across the
country at age 89 for election campaign reform, was met with a morning
morgantown parade:
Doris Haddock:"Thirty years ago, Ms. Joni Mitchell wrote a song about this
beautiful town, and I have always ever since wanted to come here. I am a
little late, but I see the beauty has graciously waited for me.In the song,
Morning Morgantown, Ms. Mitchell wrote and sang:
We'll find a table in the shade
And sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade
In morning, Morgantown
I never imagined, of course, that I would be that little morning parade, but
life is wonderful and full of magic."
