Me and my wife went on a vacation to Boston last year and I'm making a slideshow with the pictures. I need some good ideas about the music I should play while looking at pictures all along the Freedom Trail (including the historic cemetarys and landmarks). We also went to Fenway Park and took the tour there. The only idea I have so far is "Tessie" by The Dropkick Murphys. Any other good songs out there?

I would start with "shipping up to Boston" - The Dropkick Murphys
Love that dirty water - Standells (a band that wasn't even from boston, but the song is still ours)
Please come to Boston- Harry Chapin
The opening line from Rock n' Roll Band" by Boston
"Just another band outa Boston, on the road trying to make ends meet"
Charlie and the MTA - Kingston trio
I'd do take me out to the ball game for the trip to fenway
Maybe find songs with tie-ins to the historic land marks,
like the 1812 ovature when viewing pics of the USS Constitution
have fun with it!

- Dirty water
- For historic segments, use some Boston Pops fourth of july concert clips.
- Fenway, "take me out to the ball game" or you can probably find a recording of the Fenway park organ.
- Maybe include some Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Dirty Water is always good- the Sox play that every time they win a home game. Boston by Augustana is good since it's sort of new/pop. . . Try going to ITunes and just put Boston in the search box, and see what you get!

We did this awhile ago and sent it to my friend in San Diego who spent the summer with us in Boston.
We had pictures of the Charles River and used the song " Moon River". We also used " Boston" by the Standells for down town and night life. For pictures of the waterfront and ocean we used " Somewhere, Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darin. We also used " Please Come To Boston". It turned out nice. Good luck!

"Dirty Water" by the Standells
For the Sox you could do "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, "Tessie" is a good choice, you could go simple and do "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".
