Corinna Luyken: Hi, my name is Corinna Luyken. I was named after an old folk song called Corinna, Corinna. The rendition of the song that my parents first heard was by Bob Dylan, but there are actually many versions of it, which many people are familiar with. And so when I meet someone new, quite often, I'm serenaded with this chorus of Corinna, Corinna, which seems to bring people a great deal of joy, which in turn brings me joy. So I don't mind. In fact, just recently I met someone else named Corinna, and she told me the same thing happens to her. And then she sang the song for me, which was the first time that she had ever serenaded another Corinna. And it made us both laugh for a very, very long time.
