i listen to the folk channel on Primestar's satellite audio service. Problem: They don't identify artist or song title.if anyone can help, I have a few tunes I'm trying to identify.1) Song by a female artist with a refrain that begins "Love,like a lesson learned.." and has the line "you can't always trust happiness." Very touching violin part in the break. 2) Song by male artist with refrain "help me dream Hannah's dream".3)Two songs by same artists, a funky bluegrass sound w/ all kinds weird instruments like digiridoo (sp?), tablas, etc featuring phrases "down in the cider house with Lucy" in one song, "I'm 900 miles away from home" in another. HELP ME !!! Lonesome Ernie J

For those of you who keep saying how much nicer the people on the Forum were in the past,look at this desparate appeal by a new Mudcat visitor.Did any one try to help?Or even say "sorry,can you give us more information?" No.That's alright.I know what to expect now,ya heartless buggers.

Ah but I was so much older then...I'm younger than that now.

"Sorry....can you give us more information?" ;o*) Isn't "900 Miles" the name of the PP&M song from the sixties..."If you miss the train I'm on......"etc.????

Owl,I think the band I mentioned in 3) may be Country Gazette,and I think the song is a different 900 Miles. I never learned any more about the other two songs/artists...

That's because they recognized you were a pain in the ass just from the wording and were trying to nip it in the bud. I'd been around about 3 weeks then and was still looking for the light switch. Come to think of it, I'm still looking for the light switch. Add in the fact that you listed under the e-mail address which includes the words "Radio Shack" and what did you expect? Then there is that jocular tone and plea for help on songs that are on a commercial kind of thing.........just wasn't the thing back then. You could have gotten 96 responses had you ask for the 5th word in the 3rd line of the 58th verse of "Diddle My Fiddle."

I dunno'.....I could be wrong on the reasons.......Need to round up Blake Madison and put him on it.

It kills me, seeing O L D threads resurrected, with answers N O W provided....since the chances the original poster is going to see them, are slim to none. Granted, the answers may be useful to those current members needing such research material.....nevertheless

....it reminds of the Star Trek movie where Data got his emotion chip and starts laughing out loud in front of Jordie. And Jordie say's "Data, what are you laughing at?". And Data says "Remember that joke you told me at Farpoint about (such and such)? And Jordie says "Yes. But that was 7 years ago." And Data says "I just got it!"

Michael.....in case you didn't realize it, LEJ was the original poster here, before he became a member. This is the first thread he ever started and at the time it got no response. But I do know what you mean about finding one of these and knowing the original poster is probably long gone.

Didn't realize it.....thanks for the heads up Spaw. There was no intent to be a smartass to LEJ...but I have noticed other resurected threads with updated answers....hence the nature of my previous post. There've also been a number of threads I've started in the past wanting answers to certain things...and I figure around summer of 2002, I'll get them. *G*

Michael, your story reminds ME of the comedians' convention, where after dinner people get up one at a time to tell jokes, but since they all use the same joke book they just give the number. Version A: a guest asks if he can try it, stands up and says "374", and instead of laughter there is dead silence. "What's wrong?" he asks. "Well," says his friend, "some guys just don't know how to tell a joke." Version B: Somebody says "229", but when the laughter dies down, one guy keeps on laughing and laughing. When they ask him why, he replies, with tears running down his cheeks, "I never heard that one before!" (I've also heard this as a prison dining hall)

Anyway, LEJ, I never got an answer to my first post, either. Maybe I'll check out the "your first post" thread and bitch over there.

Aloha,
Mark

Remember F Troop...The Lieutenant would say to Larry Storch,"Hey,that is a great idea...I don't know why everybody thinks you're stupid." Cut to next scene a day later, and Storch turns to the LT and says "Hey! Who says I'm stupid?!"

Well that's better than the service I got when I first went into a Radio Shack. At least you got to ASK your question!!! ***BG***

If the song went " 'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home, And I hate to hear that train whistle blow" then I can post it. Could someone tell me how to flag carriage returns first please. Keith
