Subject: RE: looking for title of a song and words From: nancyjo Date: 05 Oct 03 - 07:08 PM Well, this would be a rather tedious way to go about it, but you could go to allmusic.com. Both artist's are included there. Go to their album listings, most of which list the tracks. And compare tracks, looking for one that both artists recorded. Just a thought. nancyjo |

Subject: RE: looking for title of a song and words From: Bill D Date: 05 Oct 03 - 08:16 PM and it's best to put something ABOUT the song IN the thread name. Imagine if we had 24 threads going with "need the name of a song" as the title. |
Subject: RE: looking for title of a song and words From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Oct 03 - 08:22 PM A reminder that a whole bunch of Lawson (inc. The Outside Track) and material by other authors of interest to Australians at: Words Just go to "verse- title index" if you know the title, or look for Lawson under L of "Author index." Essays and short stories by Lawson as well as verse. Books and short stories by quite a number of people; a very good website. |
