Subject: RE: Discussion: Love Affair With Trains
Well, I always enjoyed That Old Fast Freight, probably the first song connected with trains I ever learned except for Malvina's all-time classic Freight Train which back then was the hallmark of the neophyte. I love the Wabash Cannonball in all its variations, dunno why. And the other old saw, Wreck of the Old 97 was one that alwaysgot a guffaw out of my Kentuckian uncle when he was alive, although I don't know exactly why, and Railroad Bill was a reg'lar dogeared old treat for many years. Oh, and The FF&V if that is its proper name. And I'm actually fond of SPirit of New Orleans which shows you what a mushmelon I am. :>) I am sure there are ten others I have forgotten, and these are pretty bland and standard fare but they're what I recall at the moment.
