[78-L] Songs on 78 specifically about Los Angeles?

[Cary Ginell]

A few off the top of my head.
 
Los Angeles New Years' Flood - Woody Guthrie (not on 78, but from the Lomax interviews)
Ventura Blvd. Boogie - Joe "Fingers" Carr
My San Fernando Rose - Tex Williams
Hot Rod - The Collins Kids (mentions Mullholland Drive)
Summit Ridge Drive - Artie Shaw & his Gramercy Five (also in L.A.)
