David "Ballella" came to America as a result of the events in the Balkan area in the early part of the 1900's. Those same events haunt us even now. I'm re-watching Lawrence of Arabia to try and get some understanding of those events. I never really understood when I saw it as a kid. I thought I mined a good idea with the Rhode Island slide show, i.e. hand over to students a geographically themed song and let them make an imaged linked slide show to accompany that song. There are several sites that list songs that mention geography. Here's my crack at Istanbul-made famous in 1953 by the Four Lads.
