07 Mar 00 - 09:40 AM (#191097) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: rubber ball From: Gary T BlueJay, the chorus you posted is to "Red Rubber Ball", a chart hit for The Circle (I believe) in the mid-60's. I had no idea that Paul Simon helped write that one. I'm wondering if Jorkensteinfeld was inquiring about the song that goes, in part, "like a rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you". Don't know who wrote that one, but the style of it and its era (late 50's-early 60's) seems much more compatible with my understanding of |

I know someone who has the 45, so if indeed this is the song Guest 'J' is looking for, I can check to see if the author is credited on the disk. I can possibly give a listen and figure out the chords as well. *elektra* |

08 Mar 00 - 09:05 AM (#191791) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: rubber ball From: Gary T You know how sometimes you feel like a total doofus? I sure do this morning. It came to me, on my way to work, that when I said this "the style of it and its era (late 50's-early 60's) seems much more compatible with my understanding of Paul Simon" in my post above I was thinking not of Paul Simon, but of Neil Sedaka. Singer/songwriter, last name begins with "S"--major short circuit in the brain. So, no, I'm not totally clueless, but I guess the mind slips up occasionally. Whoops! |
