A musician friend has a great plan to surprise her husband on his 55th birthday. He doesn't 'believe' in gifts but his secret wish has always been that he'd had a Lionel train set. So she's having friends come up with accessories/more cars to add to the set she has gotten him. I ordered a Log Unloading Car from Lionel.Friends are asked to show up on his birthday bearing the Lionel accessory and a train song prepared for singing.
Frankly I'm tired of all the standards everybody knows: Stream-lined Cannonball; Wabash Cannonball; Wreck of Old 97; Wreck of Old Number 9; and probably a couple of others I can't recall at the moment. I want to come up with one I can teach everybody.
Does anyone know a train song - new or otherwise- that never made it into everyone's consciousness?
