Actually "Country Roads" was written in Upper Montgomery County with the
help of Bill and Taffy Danoff (now divorced).  Bill Danoff currently 
sings every other Sunday at the Palisades Restaurant.  For those fans
from the 70's Bill and Taffy Danoff where members of "The Starland
Vocal Band" as well as "Fat City".  I don't remember 'Fat City'.  

The food at the Palisades is pretty good and the entertainment is usually 
pretty good too.
