The amazing thing is that more river songs have not been written. Rivers are such enduring symbols and many have melodious names as well. Just in my personal experience in the western U.S., I know the Snake, the Virgin, the Animas, Green, Walker, Kaweah, Kings, Kern, Colorado, Gila, San Joaquin, American, Sacramento, Russian and dozens of others, large and small. Unless you live in an arid, treeless plain, you likely have one near you. Many have colorful histories as well. Maybe some will be inspired to contribute a song or two of their own.
