Bristol, Yes, Bristol

Bristol, Yes, Bristol

by Theresa M. Donovan and Joan Doyle Roth

From EastBayRI.com, "Letter: Remembering Bristol's first song, from 1955," by Owen E. Trainor III, Bristol, August 7, 2020.

The town had quite a festive 275th celebration in 1955. Certainly a highlight, and historic at that, the townspeople were introduced and became participants in the singing—I believe in Andrews School—of a new song. A first—a song dedicated to Bristol in honor of its 275th anniversary. And what made this song more special was its authorship. Two of Bristol's most knowledgeable musicologists and classroom instructors of music: T.M. Donovan (name as listed in 275th anniversary book as Pageant Committee chair) and Joan Doyle Roth... yes, aunt and neice [sic], writers of: "Bristol, Yes, Bristol."
