OK INTREPID LIGHTFOOT LYRICS AND LEGEND-STEEPED LOGICIANS OF ETYMOLOGICAL LEGERDEMAINE. Q's 133 - 138 !! GAME ON !

NOTE: TO PROCEED IMMEDIATELY TO Q's 133 - 138, GO TO YELLOW MARKER ON LEFT BELOW MARKED "LET THE PLAY CONTINUE" . !!!:clap::clap::headbang:

THE FOLLOWING HOAKUM WAS FOUND WHILE LOOKING UP THE WORD LEGERDEMAINE, TO BE SURE OF ITS MEANING. IN TURN, I FOUND THIS TEXT OF HILARIOUS SUPPOSEDLY ANCIENT WISDOM FROM THE 1600'S.
THE AUTHOR OF THIS OSTENSIBLY 400-ODD YEAR-OLD DOCUMENT IS DESCRIBED BY THIS BRITISH FELLOW BELOW WHO IS CLEARLY DIS-POSESSED OF HIS (SUPER)NATURAL-BORN SENSES, A BRIEF AMUSEMENT ONLY, FOR THE PERSON WHO ENJOYS READING WHAT APPEARS TO BE PSEUDO-ANCIENT HOAKUM..

IT IS THEN, IN KEEPING WITH THE EMBEDDED (WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE HUMOUR ON SOMEONE'S PART), FOLLOWED BY MY NEO-MEDIEVIL LEGAL HOAKUM DISCLAIMER FOR AMUSMENT PURPOSES ONLY AS WELL LOL.... YOU MIGHT ENJOY IT IF YOU READ CAREFULLY, AND READ WORDS WITHIN WORDS.... AS THE ANCIENT OCCIDENTAL NAME 'YURASSIS DRAGON' - IF YOU APPRECIATE AND LIKE THE IMBEDDED WORDS-WITHIN WORDS HUMOUR INTRINSIC TO THAT NAME, YOU MAY LIKE THE NEO-LEGAL DISCLAIMER DOCUMENT IN PARTICULAR BELOW THE FOLLOWING OSTENSIBLY HISTORICALLY RECORDED DOCUMENT TEXT IMMEDIATELY BELOW.

SO, AGAIN; FIRST: THE SUPPOSEDLY REAL 1600'S-ERA TEXT, THEN MY IMBEDDED WORD(S) WITHIN WORD(S) 'LEGAL DISCLAIMER' - ALL OF WHICH IS FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY AND NOT OF REMOTELY REAL FUNCTION, FORM, OR INTENT. LOL'eth. :biggrin:

- End of humour interlude- - Meanwhile, back at the Game Ranch-

"LET THE PLAY CONTINUE" . !!!

OK , Mindful of the fact that B1 & B2 are outstanding, and it seems likely that none of the active players currently in the game own these; (I did not until a week or do ago, as a gift), and the fact that they are rarities, make me think the fair shot if you guys WANT to pursue them further, of course you may not, and may wish to stay in the UA/Waner/Rhino/Linus std. 20 (?) albums, is to simply supply enough clues that "I" could find them on the Internet with the clues. Lemme know, or if there are any other alternate Q formats/sources you want in lieu of, here and there.

So, Q's 133 - 138 !!

Q133 ....take it away
Q134 ....remind you....
Q135 ....the shade
Q136 ....profusion....
Q137 ....Kinsale (beware proper nouns, they are capped like'K' no matter
where they are positionally in the verse, the dots rule.)
Q138 ....lark

B1 2nd clue - "speedy", and "cargo"
B2 2nd clue - "CANATAL" , and/or "very little light" :)

HAVE FUN !

, which is a:CORRECT ANSWER !
CONGRATULATIONS !,jj;

The lyrics patch, as you indicated in part, is:

===========================================
2nd submission:

Your 2nd entry, one of the Bonus rarities, was

b1- don't know the specific lyric but sounds like Fast Freight (I've only heard that a few times and don't stand a chance of locating it quickly)

The clues given for B1 have been:
1st Clue Given for B1:
....the whistle blow

2nd clue Given for B1:
- "speedy", and "cargo,
Departing from the dot & clue word form on the 2nd clue for B1

RULES REASONABLE MODIFICATION FOR RARITIES ONLY:
A case for departure from strict post submission format norms, norms as requested by Char:

The Main goal of the game, besides having FUN, as stated "is to correctly guess the song from the clue ", and if we are to make an exception to further the point of the game on requiring a valid lyric patch as well, we will , as demonstrated thus far, only unduly hold the game up. This departure should apply only in the case of 'hard-to-find rarities'.

great off-the-top-o-the-head guess to jj IMO ),

Fast Freight, is decided to be
A CORRECT ANSWER !

Joveski,, thank you for your submission for Q133 as follows:

If it should please you

(let's take it away)

In short, my stored correct answer for this on file is:

Q133 ....take it away 'If It Should Please You',

So, that is a CORRECT ANSWER !

CONGRATULATIONS !, Joveski !:clap::headbang:

Your lyrics patch of:let's take it away can be fleshed out a little more for the benefit of both new players, members, and submission form, while clearly I can see you know exactly the song and the lyrics..

But, fortunately, I ALSO have lyrics on file !!!! as follows:

So if it should please you, I have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
We're one and the same now, let's take it away
We're gonna take it real easy, let's take it away - gl

So that leaves Q's 134, 135,& 136 !:clap::headbang:

Just adding a bit of trivia as a result of Q137. Not many people would have heard of the town of Kinsale or would know where it is, but I actually spent my wedding night there! It's in County Cork in southern Ireland, a few miles south of Cork City where my wife grew up. It's a tourist mecca thanks to its picturesque harbour, colourfully painted houses, atmospheric pubs and shopping streets and its reputation as the gourmet capital of Ireland.
One more bit of unrelated trivia while I think of it. In "Ecstasy Made Easy", Gord sings of sailing out of Perth (on that southern sea). In the Lightfoot Geography section of www.lightfoot.ca (http://www.lightfoot.ca) , Wayne suggests it is referring to Perth, Australia. I had always thought it must be the original Perth in Scotland, because I doubted Gord would feel a connection with Australia's Perth after one trip here 12 years before "East of Midnight" was released.

Dave,
of: Melbourne,Australia,

As the 'Alex Trebek', I've been called in fun, of just this little game thread, I've allways thought some commentary on the side of the actual lyrics, and subjects raised themselves would add some colour to the game, in a different way than our colorfoul fonts ! The subject of geographic place names will always perk my ears, as I am a cartographer. However, as I know is ocurring in your country, too, the field of cartography as a stand-alone 'profession' (harrumph and all that lol) has been consumed by the giant monster even bigger than gPS now, gIs - geographihc information systems. So almost all cartographers have now had to add the skill of programming and spatial analyses to their folder, and are called things anymore like me 'GIS Analyst' , and 'GIS Specialist' etc.

And I have studied/(read-of) the combined mapping curriculae around the world, and tell me if you feel its true there, but it has been said many times that what I also am here, a Geodetic Surveyor, (not Land Surveyor), has been combined 'down there' (we of all professions should know better than to say that lol) into a combined world trend-setting field going by several names, but the idea is combining all of the mapping sciences (cartography, geodesy, surveying - all types, GIS, photogrammetry,geography to some extent if approached as a science/mathematically etc, etc, ) into a new all-in-one 'Holistic' endeavour as the Ohio State University here in the USA has done, in creating the largest stand-alone College of Mapping Sciences in the world within the University, within The ( or one of the) larget Universities in the world, with over 110,000 students in 1990 count !

This combined 'Holistic' endeavour is called, on a rotating bus-route name cube currrently, geomatics. In Canada , like, (I believe) Australia, as subjects (?) of the Queen under the Jurisdictional Province (yes/no?) of the U.K., (my anecdotal understanding, given the large constituency of both Countrymen in this forum; forgive me If I am wrong) Surveyors and Mappers (Geomatiques in Canada) are subject to registration with the U.K. with some Royal commmission as "Royally Chartered Surveyors" - is that true to your knowledge in Australia ?

And with regard to your comment in general, the Geography of Lighfoot's music has been the comment many times of his well-travelled exploits in any event, but also largely his well-known exploits in canoeing (voyageuring/trekking/portaging) and sea-kayaling, well into barely sub-arctic waters (as in barely not fully arctic circle waters at 65 N)largely in th 60's - early 80's on 500 -800 mile trips, and the geographic names commissions of our combined countries would have a hard time keeping up with the mention made in his songs of all his place names/rivers/(all forms of linear water features to mappers are streams in solely the field notes of American Surveyors et al)/point features, and bodies of water - bays,inland waterways, Seas (Beaufort Sea (sp?), Oceans per se, and large inland fresh water bodies (the Great Lakes, Hudson's Bay, The Great Slave ake, etc) that I am not surprised an ambiguity of Perth came up in his more distinctly Maritime Seafaring aspects of ocean-going/sailing in his songwriting.

It is very interesting that you would write of this; I have always thought a thread on Geography, and notably water features given Gordon's penchant for watercraft and related travel of ALL sizes/types would be very a propos for this forum in general. Do you find a consensus of opinion on the Perth ambiguity in your circles there ? Are you in the Maritime professions, or in some form of the afore mentioned geo-sciences ? I forgot to include of course, the generalized but broad-stroke overvue of Geography as a discipline itself, housed as well within these new combined geo-sciences colleges within University, and the fields themselves indeed within a given country where the homogenization of the various geo-sciences are being experiment with, and combined in various fashions.

In University, I studied that in Australia (not that the subject of hierarchy of supervision matters a whit) Cartographers, Civil Engineers, and Geographers report at least on a Federal level to Surveyors in chain -of-authority. Is this true ? It is to varying degrees and combinations true throughout many countries of the world where Surveying has the legal decree court de jour boundary evidence measurer, taker of parole testimony, court, judge, and jury, on the ground & in the field, settling legally all dispute large and small. This was indeed the case in the US prior to the FDR adminstration, who felt Surveyors had too much authority in the US what with Checks-and-balances in the Judicial branch, and promoted legislation to take the court de jour part away, and hence, considerable percieved prestige of Surveying ( which I could give a hoot about !).

Prior to that, Civil Engineers reported to Surveyors in the US (prior to 1929) , and the hierarchy reversed until WWII in the US, where the war revealed the need for the stand-alone mapping professional again , primarily from the prominence of Photogrammetric Intelligence Gathering and subsequent key map mapmaking endeavours of war efforts. Surveyor were once again a stand-alone profession, considered laterally equivalent in foolish hierarchy to Civil Engineers. Now, Surveying and Maping Curricula, unless in a school of technology i.e. para-professional degrees only, i,e, Civil Eng Technology, Surveying Technology et al, but rather Surveying Engineering and/or the anamorphosed subject strength axis of Geodetic Engineering (high geodesy and map projection, and gravity contingent), and (there is no such field as Geodesic Engineering), is as rigorous an Engineering discipline as any other ; identified primarily by the preponderance of physics and Mathematics as the distinguishing factor.

This, at the expense in curriculum, so sayeth the old-school legal expert Surveyors of Land and Cadastre, of the original strength in the field of Boundary Law, and Higher Surveying (Geodesy). The oldest-school still around (barely !)who worked under the pervue of pre-FDR court-de-jour Surveyors would maintain now that 4th,5th, 6th, and 7th semesters of post-calculus are at the expense of Boundary Law, Cadastral Sytems,etc,; more pertinent to Land Surveying than Geodetic, Seismic, Hydrgraphic, or Geomorphologic Surveying (Topographic plus movement) Are you involved in any of this in Austrlia, and do you have a perspectiove to share ?

In wrap, as the originator of this thread - I would run it by the group, but I would personally welcome any discussion fo the geography of place names as they do come up exclusively it seems in lyrics of course. Should sufficient interest exist in the forum per se, a stand-alone thread would be in order, as this is a game thread, but we DO talk the lyrics here and there; I'd welcome it ! Good of you to take the time to bring this up, David, thank you. :clap::headbang::biggrin:

We have another prominent Senior Member who is a regular in this thread you'll requently see my program highlight him in green; you may look for and "private message" - "Joveski", of Melbourne as well. Anywhere you see his orange/brown name "Joveski'to the left, in the names column, you can click on it, be presented with a menu, and select "private message" if you want to talk to a fellow Melbourn(ian ?) :rolleyes::biggrin:

Thanks again , and for giving me the oppurtunity to runneth at the mouth !:rolleyes::eek::biggrin:

Dave, in melbourne:

Quick thought (hah! he says!) - You might enjoy running your idea by Ron Measoner ("RM"). on the question as to Perth, Scotland, versus Perth, Australia, for East of Midnight - (EOM). The geography question might fit in very nicely with a vision he has for a select mass of Q's that could be artfully passed along to Gord after a concert, with intelligent and germane questions as to some of his songs. He has a thread where by you can reccomend this to him: I just went and looked for it, it may have slipped into page 2 of current threads. Have to get back with you on this, as he
had a real good idea your Q would fit into nicely... You could always PM him - "RM".

geodeticman.5

09-22-2008, 04:15 AM

DAVE, in Melbourne -

I found the thread I could not remember that RM - Ron Measoner may want to have your suggestion on the Q of Perth Scotland versus Australia for. The thread is very popular now and is called "Corfid wants to Know" - in the general discussion area. I tried something here I have not before - to copy a thread-opening link -they appear to be the same as hyperlinks in HTML as any other, yet this one did not change colour, the way they do when you hit return. Well if it doesn't get you there, you can always....exhaustively.....leave this thread, and enter (phew!) that one lol..

Thought you'd like to know the the thread name. Thanks again for all the interesting info "stemming" from Kinsale, Ireland. The reason I highlighted "stemming is that we, in a a thread on vocabulary learned from Lightfoot's songs, tossed around the origins of "stemming" from Don Quixote. One quite straightforward one could be as I just used it w/o even thinking - something 'stemming", or originating from - something else. Hmmm.. Anyway, all the best to you and your wife who you took back to Kinsale - very cool !

BTW - welcome to corfid - I notice you've been around around a couple of months , 6 maybe, but at around 18 posts I think it was , your recent enough to still be welcomed !

One more bit of unrelated trivia while I think of it. In "Ecstasy Made Easy", Gord sings of sailing out of Perth (on that southern sea). In the Lightfoot Geography section of www.lightfoot.ca (http://www.lightfoot.ca) , Wayne suggests it is referring to Perth, Australia. I had always thought it must be the original Perth in Scotland, because I doubted Gord would feel a connection with Australia's Perth after one trip here 12 years before "East of Midnight" was released.

I'd imagine it's not Perth, Ontario, 35 miles south west of Ottawa..
the closes body of water would be Lake Ontario 40 miles south...

Oh,Linda!, your submitted lyrics patch is so thorough, I must compliment you, as I have no need whatsoever to
pull lyrics from my simple database and pseudo-code only so far,, not yet relational,
but it is getting there.. its cut down my reply *task* time to
easily less than a 1/3rd of the previously all-manually entered replies; however,
it has not yet completely solved my ability to respond categorically
in a time period that is not frustrating to you guys... I tried so hard to
catch you on-line today with your sucessful entries this evening, cause I saw you were still on-line. but alas, after QC'ing the replies of mine, you were logged out, also I think the case for RM, who I believe was on-line
when I pulled the rip-chord on the lyrics machine... !! we'll get in synch,
provided we are on-line at the same time, an almost random, but not quite.... occurence, what with work time, dinner-time, etc., or presumably close-together in a given time zone (not the case of course), however, as in Australia's Joveski,and...Dave, both of Melbourne, longitude can throw me a real sidewinder...time..changes...east-to-west..sideways, and winds..on some maps.....map humour...oh well.....hehe.... lol anyway, er...onward Maynard !

Sorry, I have to admit, I haven't kept up with this thread , but I thought of a question (hope it hasn't been asked already). I promise I won't ask anymore until I'm up to date on the thread!

My question: can you name a song which has the title of another song in its lyrics?

No problem for asking, mandoann, I will think on this (I mean try to think of song-within -a-song, not whether we could do it; after all, this is a democracy in here.. !), besides, the thread is called ....quizzers and more ! - we don't do much of the & more ! hmmmm if ppl enjoy it, it could be a regular thing, or similar questions...it is hard to be the Alex Trebek accurately and timely, but the code I wrote has helped that immensely. Would you want to host those Q's you suggestmandoann,hypothetically ? I'd be hapy to do it, n/p/ , but all should share in all fun aspects of the game. I DO enjoy my Alex Trebek work...it is more work than most would guess.... trying to come up with one-word clues for these whizzes ! And unique to the song, as possible, is the real challenge... "profusion" was a good case of unique to the song... and interestingly , it seemed to be the hardest question. !
Thanks,

What do you think of other types of quiz Q's being added ? I liked that one. Remember very early on in the game, I tried some "anachronistics" I think they are called, words spelled backwards of songs, etc., diidn't seem popular, however, thats no yardstick as to the popularity and fun of other ideas...its just why I stopped and stuck to the sets of 6....until ... the BONUS RARITIES - which ultimately went well, but interestingly, not because he owned them, but off the top of the head ! wow !
SO Q's 139 - 144 in a matter of minutes !

OK guys, all new Q's, a

set of 6 new CLUES , FOR Q's 139 - 144!

and maybe not-quite-as-hard as the last 6,

based upon comments....

Q139....going 'round....

Q140....cause in....

Q141....as strong

Q142....tide shall....

Q143 Now....

Q144....above

Please remember, if anything for the benefit of new members"
and/or: folks new to Lightfoot, the "ideal" submission form:
as possible, realizing the limitations of answering off the top of the head.
When possible, this will satisfy the requests Char had, for all' benefit:
A. Song Title - with
~gl credited,
or as a propos, ~Dylan etc.,
B. The lyrics patch of at least two verses/lines
C. wherein lie the CLue word(s) as you wish for clarity.

HAVE FUN !

I do stand by the value of off-the-top-of-the-head
responses, as the demonstration of skill and familiarity with
Lightfoot songs, and I also know this lends to
what can be incomplete lyrics patches, the clue is hard
enough to get in your head and the song title I know,
so, just as possible. Far better that
(incomplete lyrics patches) than people taking to looking up
in Lightfoot! etc., and essentially cheating ! -
exceptions made have been of good judgement, as
in getting the game going again, as Ron did wisely.
I have taken to Wayne's
World Lightfoot's datum for insertion into
my pseudo-code , and thank/credit Wayne Francis for that. I ought
to send him an e-mail formerly asking for permission, as a
courtesy; I've no doubt as to his response, but it would be the
right thing to do, as my database grows, and eventually becomes
relational database ! I have taken to using database/Wayne's
World-Lighfoot! datum for verification, to avoid error and hasten
the response time, and frankly avoid errors on my part.
Originally I did all off the top of my head as you guys, but it
went to slow on responses of mine. My database also keeps a
record of questions ( I have to backfill from about 120 and
back), clues, song title, lyrics, winner's name, etc., too.

and, again:
HAVE FUN !

"Softly" is a song title and likely is a lyric used in several tunes....Rosanna for eg....the fire "softly" glows as shadows dance upon the walls (or something like that)

wow, its funny how i can sing the lyrics, know the actual line and not being able to place the song title? :)

is #150 'Is there anyone home' (does anyone inside know my name?)

geodeticman.5

09-28-2008, 04:28 AM

Hey Joveski - oh man that is SO close, its not the intended song, but anymore thats OK if it WORKS, but here are the lyrics in full, cause even I thought you were right, its in the song, and its like just about my vaourite "ethereal song as Gord puts it) but you look, too, I see variations, but not a "does anyone"

re:Q#150 'Is There Anyone home' as subnitted by Joveski:

take alook, I'd be happy to give it to you as an ambiguous case, but I don;t see it. I do applaud you doin it off of thetop of your head, the way
the game is intended, but before I tell someone they are wrong I do double check Wayne's World:

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone inside know my name
I've been around for a half a hundred days
Never saw a door shut so tight
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering child in the wilderness
Wild and uncaged on your wings
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir

There's a light around you, I've come to switch it on
It will brighten every room
Don't be ashamed if you feel
A whole lot warmer in you[r][sic][ heart]
You got that feeling in your soul

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone in there who might care
I've grown weary and wise and I feel much amazed
Got a few good tales to unwind
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering minstrel at dawn
In the house of a thousand delights
I think I heard, someone stir
(Repeat 5 times

SO close Joveski, sorry man, try again, I'll give you a hint : A mother and a father are referred to in it. (The song that DOES have the clue words)

Good luck Mende :cool::headbang::headbang::biggrin:

Hey guys, sorry I was not interractive today other than Sunday morning wee hours. MY growing colorful database/program for std responses with all the std acoutrements is down & out - its mirror program left it...lol...so I will do old fashioned hand-typed responses the way this all started out..dang those WERE good days....but it still had heart, and a loyal following. Now, we still have the loyal following, but somehow the program with the ...pat..answers, the yellow this. the always cyan Jesse, the always greeh Oh Linda!, the always everything formatted-consistent

I'll give it that, and its not like its dead.... its {"in the shop") from a logical error that blew its little brain - which is a foisting way of saying its my fault - i did not anticipate a set of conditions that included two erroneous responses back-to-back, but with em containing the words given , just not in the same place.... well my &if &then &do &gotup &went. A program to speed things up (which it did for along time - in my response time) ain't any good if it slows me down - this wekend. So here os der old afshin avay.

In a nutshell, I will bomb thru the relatively few outstanding ones- ones outstanding - you know what i mean. :biggrin:

OK:Joveski we established q150 did not work with "Is There anyone home"-
sorry; a shame too cause that is one of my top 6 favourite songs. That was one of the program runs that crashed - it found the two words required in different places... and blew a Norton Thiokol O-ring during cold lift-off.

OK Jessie Joe; correct on Q145 Pretending with this "submission"

Q145 Pretending....

Song: "Can't Depend On Love"

Pretending is for strangers who don't know you

I'll skip the program 4 lines of lyrics and all the 3-colour congrat to get caught up here - well done Jesse.

OK - Joveski's next crack at Q150....does anyone..... , Oh man what a drag-- you are bustin your yourself up on this one, got to slow down and check out those dot rules, i can print a short, terse version I 've written, RM was right with his pronostication of dire plunging in cold waters on this with the WRECK...it had the words, just per dots in the wrong place; i.e. your submission:

wreck of the edmund fitzgerald?

"does anyone know where the love of god goes"
09-28-2008 04:55 AM ( my emphasis on underlining....steve)

The dots would have had to be: "Does anyone....." with the cap D to work, but the existing clue is .....does anyone...... meaning in the middle of a sentence. I still give you a hearty-and-hale slap on the pigskin Steve McQueen-Cool back for a solid try, Mende. Sorry...

Then RM submits a grand-slam of sorts, no triple run....but my metas are on the wrong fors this AM lol.... with:

Q150 - Sit Down Young Stranger

"John loves Mary
Does anyone love me ? "

CORRECT Ron ! Congrats ! SDYS IS the correct answer ! well done. Your......military tactics are intruiging RM; you sit and watch your first in command , Joveski, attack, while you sit back and watch -me- for weakness, Ron eyeing the Sarian Brandy appraisingly, I respond "RON-Khan"' you seem to see everything in a military context....this is a "Social Occassion", Ron-Khan." To which Ron responds with a fierce grin and "Captain", it has been said that "Social Occassions" are only"Warfare Concealed" - I prefer it more ....open....more....honest". "And if you've no objections, Mr. Trebek, having answer ed the question correctly, I ....grow ..fatigued..again... I should like to return to my quarters.
Yes, of course, "Khan-Ron, Ohlean -Sing" - ....Khan smiles approvingly at my powers of deduction, and says.... "Excellent, Captain, excellent".

Good work, Ron. !

Which leaves one more submission:

Oh, Linda! submits: (for) Q148....with a gift....

Would that be Seven Island Suite~GL

Any woman with a gift of wisdom
Would not seek her answers there.~GL

7 islands indeed is the answer to Q148 ....with a gift....

Well played Oh,Linda - congrats. That catches-us up without all the formalities of whole lyrics patches and consistent wording and highlghted terms placement... which w/o the program running I was too tired this AM to do w/o going cross-eyed !

Hey guys - Thank You SOOOO much for playing... I DO appreciate it...

That leaves:JUST - Q146, Q147 & Q149 !

09-29-2008, 10:02 AM

SDYS IS the correct answer !

What?!!!!! I telling ya, we're gonna need a "comma rule".

I honestly thought that SDYS was an incorrect answer.

I've always heard the lyrics as 2 distinct sentences, which would disqualify "Does anyone love me ?" due to a "dot rules" violation.

geodeticman.5

09-29-2008, 03:53 PM

RM., just to re-assure you how right you were, it seems Lightfoot songs can be have the lyrics broken up in two different and/or same verses with regularity, so that the "iambic pentameter" (I think the English teacher calls it, when referring to the musical rhyming nature of both one-line-to the next, and Lightfoot's acknowledged specialty ( one of several) - that being, it has been said, his uncanny ability to have a musically-flowing rhyme within a verse, as somewhat the case in SDYS, which your "mind's ear" told me you were admirably working off of the top of your head, and not lookin-up the while shootin match in the lyrics board, as follows:

as Lightfoot wrote SDYS:

There's rockets in the meadows and ships out on the sea
The answer's in the forest, carved upon a tree

John loves Mary, does anyone love me,

versus your assumption of why you were lkely wrong, but were not, you assumed the lyrics flowed deez avayea:

John loves Mary,
does anyone love me,

hence, the need to fix the program quickly, as this would have been fully show in ther std output of the lyrics key program, which woud have show in my inital response to you you the first, single line, winning case of

John loves Mary, does anyone love me,

(which is why your SDYS won, and indeed was the song I had planned in the key to begin with)

Congrats again Ron ! Trust thineself 2 B true to thine lyrics self-confidence,
and aso fruth anda swan....something like that !:biggrin::rolleyes:

Q 146 - .. and hands

This one is making me crazy!! Some came to mind but weren't exactly like the clue so I had to research it! (bad moderator!)

Gord uses "HANDS" in a lot of his songs!! But none of these songs listed below are correct!

AAARRGGGHHH!!!! HELP!!!
Somebody please find the song with AND HANDS in it!
lol

THE HANDS
Black day in July:
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July

HER HAND
Rosanna
Rosanna moves across the floor
Her perfume fills the air as she walks beside my easy chair
I touch her hand once more
And I may never sleep again
I like the bag she put me in

YOUR HAND
Stone Cold Sober
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
When you reached across the table, put your hand upon my shoulder

MY HAND
Steel Rail Blues
Now here I am with my hat in my hand
Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night

THE HAND
Rich Man's Spiritual
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home

MY HANDS
Ecstacy Made Easy
Have a little laughter if you please
I won't even mind if it takes awhile
I've got time on my hands
I feel another chapter in the breeze

SECOND HAND
Endless Wire
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second hand scenes
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
Where the sea runs green

MY HAND
Heaven Don't Deserve Me
I'm not afraid that when I'm dying
There'll be no one to hold my hand
If there's a God up there he loves me
As much as my old woman can
I don't intend to be a martyr
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

HER HANDS
Don Quixote
Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a battered book into his hands

SO HAND
Triangle
So hand me my grip on this old sailing ship

MY HAND
Early Morning Rain
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand

MY HAND
Biscuit City:
I'd rather be in Biscuit City, with my banjo in my hand
Than take a big vacation in some foreign land

MY HAND
Salute
I held out my hand and he shook it twice
It seemed to me like I'd been here before

RIGHT HAND
Boathouse
I'd rather be in mosquito alley, out of my right hand lane
You should see my mosquito tally, all that moves is fair game

HER HAND
Sit Down Young Stranger
My mother's eyes grow misty, there's a trembling in her hand

IN GLOVE
Lesson In Love
Hang on Mr. Barnum, hang on Jenny Lind
We will meet you in streets of gold where eternity begins
We will let it all hang out, go hand in glove
Life was meant to live and learn, a lesson in love, a lesson in love

HIS HAND
Miguel
A lawman came to capture him, the gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried, you must run now or you'll die

ONE HAND
Never Say Trust Me
The sky above is filled with stars
The road is long and no cars are in sight
With one hand on the wheel I've been
Driving all day, I can drive all night

TREMBLING HAND
Second Cup of Coffee
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done

HER HAND
The Last Time I saw Her
The last time I held her hand
Her touch was autumn, spring and summer and winter too

MY HAND
A Message To The Wind
Hold my hand, so I can hold you in my heart
Hold my hand, so I can guide you through the forest of the night

and

Hold my hand, now it's time for me to go
Take my love and let it rest for we must meet again somehow

MY HAND
Forgive Me Lord
Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain't got much to lose

HER HAND
Go Go Round
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair
'Twas there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand, her fate she pondered

YOUR HAND
Approaching Lavendar
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender
Then you must be very sure that life is not a game

COLD HAND
Cold Hands from New York
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York

and

COLD HANDS
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me

A HAND
On Yonge Street
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake
Back there in the flow you might give a hand a shake

A HAND and YOUR HANDS
Boss Man
Boss Man Boss Man what do you say
If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way
It'll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me

THE HAND
Rainbow Trout
So I took her by the hand, she took me by the will
She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup
Looking for something to spill

10-05-2008, 09:22 PM

char,
I'm standing right now and giving you a hand for your efforts!

Oh, Linda

10-05-2008, 09:22 PM

Char, that's amazing! I've really been digging for this one...even posted a reply earlier this evening and realized I'd gotten so lost from the original clue I had to go back and delete it! I think there may be a typo in the clue?;)

10-05-2008, 09:41 PM

char, did you purposefully omit my responses from your exhaustive list?

Linda, i think you're right about the typo...i presume steve is just nervous about confessing this as he knows collectively we corfiddlers have lost 100+ hours of sleep...plus it's all i've been thinking about during rush hour commute this past week, lol

10-05-2008, 10:44 PM

I hated to 'cheat' but lordy I was going nuts. I tried to keep the ones I found separate from the others that had been mentioned.. it's quite astounding how many times Gord uses HANDS in his lyrics..

now if Steve will let us know what song the AND HANDS is in I can get some bloody rest..

I thought it might be CRT but the clue given didn't fit.. the subsequent teaser clues took me to CRT but 'their hands' wasn't the clue we started with so off I went to suss it out.... and figured it was possibly a typo anyway..(regardless of any medical issues)

I found it an interesting bit of trivia to note how often Lightfoot uses HANDS in his songs..I enjoyed the break from the work I'm doing here at home.

I'd say James is DA WINNER!!

Light-Heads and all welcome. Fights are only intterupted if my stuff is getting broken... so sit down, or pull-up a bar-stool, hook a heel on the brass rail, do any Western Cliche you want -and relax to the mellow sounds..played exclusively in here, of Gordon Lightfoot.

Have a drink, a smoke, cigars allowed, talk to "Shut-up-and deal-Im Loosin" over in the corner about house rules on gamblin.... and our mascot, for now, is a lightbulb on a 70's post-kitsch lamp with no shade, but a green, Gord-style Hawaiin Shirt, and the Lightbulb poppin-out of the shirt of course, THE ORIGINAL LIGHTHEAD. acoutrements open to discussion. The "Parrot" mascot down at the other end, though we may repect it and like it here and there..we actually use for target practice for fun when the boys would otherwise be tree'in the town ....- they shoot the parrot..this ain't no Margarita bar, this is...a DIVE...! And Proud of it !

back to thread as it was, with a few corrections, and dupe of it from above deleted, nothing is missing, its all here.

Hi guys. Old friends. Compadres ...lol..

I am so sorry for both the delay, and all your hard work in earnest belief that i would not make more than 2 mistakes in 150 questions. I have scrutinized things all night long, had a few incidents that will be illustrative in a sec., and
decided what to do, largely upon the total weight of your collective input. This still is a democracy.

I've been having very , very long 7 - 9 hour seizures, and as many 3 -6 hour ones. I have not been functional in here for you during that time. Again I'm sorry. I have made it, without seizure, long enough to the astute eye not only "spotted" in other threads, but in this one, almost very day, for between 30 and 60 minutes, trying to figure out where Q146 went wrong. I did. I typo'd as you guys thought, and it crashed my program , too...aaaaghhh ! lol

I certainly havn't been too embarrassed to poke my head in my own thread, to be embarrassed over a third error in 150 clues would be a bit'o hubris eh?

Naw, I've poked around wherever about 15 - 20 minuts perusal would take me, and then back to our lyrics thread as long as I could stay conscious. I'm better today.. The thread: Its ours, you guys have worked so hard in here and been patient with me, hats off to ya :) & because it is so much fun to watch you guys amazingly think though 1 -2 word clues...and get 'em !. Thats hard. Writing them is hard, but in a different way.

Char your exhaustive effort was noble if not deflating to you, seing you bust yourself up trying to work from what I figured out tonight was an invalid clue. I'm so sorry - I check myself so carefully for that...I triple check these new set of forthcoming later this thread clue's after I hear them in my head, as we do in this game. When I enterd Q146 before, the typo'd clue that previously I enterd right and CRT came out, , well, go figure, when I re-enterd my clue as typo'd, while investigating, Entered it and the song into the database program. Then it crashed. But I extracted the song - CRT - confirming that, which led me succinctly to what the clue should have been. ....hands would have been correct for that, too. Sure sorry. But you set a tone for, among other things....perseverance. Thank you.

jj - and others who lost sleep, and were distracted while driving , stummped on this one, please forgive me.

I respect very much you guys honouring me as "boss" the way you do, but its no trip for me....remember its a democracy, I am just the the traffic director, and of course only I know the answer pair, as I came up with them.
But we can rotate that, if you'd like, too !

Would you guys like to come up with a rotating deal of who is "the dealer", the 'boss" for a set of 6 or 12 ? In any event, lets go to 6 songs this time to go to an even 160, then maybe, what/ 10 - 18 songs each time, give more up time while I process answers or whomever ? Would you like me to continue 'dealing" the Q's, or pass the deal routinely to you all. It is more work than you think, I GUARANTEE IT. But I don't get nervous.....just frustrated over extremely painful seizures and subsequent neck deterioration. Its actually very good for me. I do enjoy it. I've no qualms with keepin on keepin on, but would be immediately open to passin the deal on a regular basis..

I really am thank ful for your guys turn-out this time, and you remaining productivvvvvvvvvvveD/an (its starting right now I bwtter post a new list of 6)

Unless you would like to discuss my error when I am back in tell you right now that jj takes the most obvious cake, upon imperfect premise, but as the error was mine, he should not be penalized. He read intuitively into my extra clues on this one to lead him correctly to CRT. Congrats, jj.

The error to be found was in fact that while indeed I had selected CRT for the song, the clue, as a few of you estimated, might have been typo'd, in either the original ....and hands, and the apparently mistaken .....hands. The original was a typo of what should have read
Q146 Clue: ....their hands. And then most of you would have got it. My apologies. If anyone has amore equitable view of the way to declare relative winner of this one; I'm listening. One good take is its a 13th floor option, was, as several of you said. Personally, I admire the intuition jj showed by knowing what song I was thinkng by virtue of my clues.

OK its gettin worse so I'm postong the next 6 right now..talk to u all later ! And jj definately winds the cake, now especially that I hear concurrence from Char - my error should not penalize your oppurtunities.
CONGRATULATIONS ! jj

Song: I'll Prove My Love

Lyric :

"In everything I say and in all I do"

10-09-2008, 08:23 PM

a third error in 150 clues

imo, 3 out of 150 is acceptable ...that's the same as my good shot to total shot ratio in a typical golf round (which, in anyone's opinion, is unacceptable, lol)

hey, hope things turn around for the better on the health front:)

these are tough...i think i know the #151 song title but can't come up with the lyric phrase much more than what was provided in the clue so i will let it be til the brain uncramps

#156 could be a trick, you actually looking for 'AND the river', no? ;)
if so it could be the Pony Man...'and the river tells a story by the window of my bed'...or something along those lines

but it violates the dot dot rule, doesn't it...so it's a goose egg for jj:(

I love his music (Frank's) but who made him da ChAIRMAN huh huh ? lol

OK Joveski, you heard the man, jj needs you to ride for him pro-tempe, time to Cowboy uP !, BTW , your Bull is named...HE is named (excuuuuuse me you bullsh88 baga bullcr** tied up in leather) (the bull that is..he was a complainin')Ahemmm OK Jovesky on deck, jj in the pit, Ron, with a success under his belt in this new 6 allready, I just aint a writ on it yet... well Ron is ridin rescue to Joveski, and Char will be dazzling us with dressage and barrel-ridin soon as she gets in that Rodea-Queen Sequinee thing.. and the others stand by for their bull-ride..

OK Joveski, cowboy uP ! The bull's name is: "Hell hath no Plymouth Fury" very funny, thinks Jovesky, we'll see if those candy pants think its funny after ridin' him.....but for jj, I'dd do it for a friend... when a good man is down for a few minutes, I'll cover a friend...you bet...ok you bag a bones - lookin at the bull... ( he's wrapped the oakem-soaked hemp rope, don't smoke that rope now Son, aww we're just kiddin, ain't we folks ! Joveski , oblivious to the blather in the background, is pounding the oakum-soaked hemp rope into his waxed leather ropin gloves, and rituallistically going thru his etched -in-stone superstitions, tugs down hard one more time on his black hat, looks up at his sweetheart in the stands, one last look to see of the bull was holdin air on purpose to exhale the minute the gate is opened, and the saddle slips looser.....damnit ! the bool fooled me again on held air.. I wonder if they make Hack-amores with 8 penny nails sticking out all over,, that get that Bulls attention,,scheming scheming animal he;'s a thinking, when all is right, he says to the men all one leg over the Lucifer's Box top rail, lookin barely up at them from his hemp rope smahed into pklace jusr right..... no sign of the bull holding inhailed air on that tack , looks up and says in one well worn-in word they all know by heart: "OKBOYZE", the latch man pulse the welded 1/2" rod latch-round up and outta the catch, and with a healthy kick in the bulls a**, and a pat on Jovesky's shoulder just barely catching him before that bulldoe a fore-leg stand and kicks the sh8* out of the whole support team still sittin on the rails are up in the air.... and bamn ! that bull horns-open the gate, and , mainly cause his n*8s are painfully wedgied by the 'motivation strap' runnin for to aft under the bulls chassis, makin him one mean, pained-in -the n*8s animal , angry to damage ahuman.....and its that second beer if I didn;t make the buzzer.. dang that hide ! - more in another post.

Onward to his actual picture-perfect submission form as a courtesy to my eyes - thanks Ron, not a rule...just a courtesy - and I appreciate it)

Q155 ........I do

Song: I'll Prove My Love

Lyric :

"In everything I say and in all I do"
Note - I have quoted the actual submission part of Ron's above this line.

Ron's clue as submitted:Q155 ........I do
Clue per database:Q155........all I do
The difference in above had no functional effect, because it was obvious Ron had the full clue in mind, and found the correct song in mind, In other cases, like my ..( ) hands, my typo :rolleyes: cost dozens of person hours. But that was as a clue giver. Obviously no problemo here. But should any of you have been considering other songs that relied upon just the two words "....i do" - it could have steared you down the wrong road - if in my clues given. No harm from Ron. Lets just say I am even more careful now to avoid the most minute error in clues...:rolleyes::biggrin::clap:

Wait a minute guys - I been playin in here for quite awhile with you, and I've never had trouble telling when you are submitting a ...a...submission..lol.. until now... What is it ? The welcome addition of new players, are the questions that much harder, - I can tell you guys you've done a LOT harder ONE WORD Q's than these, but I know they are tough - I had to think of 'em in my head remember ? You'll get em. I can say this..once pilgrim.... (since we are in the Western Saloon and all - OK - we have to decide on Lighthead Bar , or the other I proposed in usage as the "Sundown Saloon" - which builds on some of the Western settings Ron and I have used for humour here and there. Either way OK..... lemme know....cause I gotta start building some ambience in the program and all.... cutting edge Hollerdeck or something lke that...) back to my request.

Lets tighten up what has just for the first time in 350 !!! posts WOW !! become unclear as to whether you were posting or not. Tell ya what. I think the banter and "thinking out loud" is great - makes it more like chat days I miss... - I 'd be doing it too... that doesn't chap my hide at all.... I just can't answer partial submissions, or: seems kinda like (....( ) , or maybe with ( ) or without ( ).. Thats totally cool and necessary with hard ones to discuss, just help me know when they are submissions, not chat...I'm cool with that.

I'd always hoped for general conversation in here, as long as the eye was on the ball of the game. I'm just getting a little worried, no biggee, that I can't tell when you are submitting today or not - with the exception of Ron. Who is remembering the submission form for just such reason - two times today. The others - sharp thinking going on, no problem , hell I enjoy listening to it . But when does it become a submission ?? Only because this is new behaviour, thats all. I don't want to let you guys down is the BIG DEAL to me. All we gotta do - just talk away and I won;t bat an eye, after all, we are in the "Swingin on one hook saloon" we have to pick the name for.... and then act appropriately atmospheric....
but when you want a submission answered yay or nay.... just put it in the form you see el Ron has used today.... elRon....hmm....?....naw......
Okeedokee. I THINK I have a second discernable submission from Ron to address next post. Thanks guys, don;t let me intterrup - thats not what I'm here for..... enjoy the exchange....it just izzn a submission until you do this:

jjoveski's combined sort of agreed submission..screeech.. nope.. sorry guys
lol- one or the other.. and in the form below, OK fellas ? ya'll drive safe now ?

minutes later: we, uhm I mean *I* want to submit this game ..uhm.. submission: yes !

Q999.....she ripped him off

Song submitted: "She ripped him off and his heart is in shards" ~sd

Lyrics patch submitted:
She ripped him off of his hexagram, cash in a old tin can, 'n credit cards
Now his heart is in shards, and she's livin' large, with a bunch a tards
Thata the submission form.....
(at least one full line of verse/lyrics, preferably two. two is hard without cheatin - so I'll live with one to help mitigate that...

Thanks guys...and gals.... :clap::biggrin::headbang::headbang: And thanks for coming in the LightHead Saloon and/or The Sundown Saloon. :)

Ron posted this on:
10-09-2008 @ 08:47 PM

Note to Ron, others can skip down to big Yellow words if u want.

BTW Ron, I was not criticising you at all, I was holding up your submission as a role model. no criticism intended. The typo thing ? That was nothing ,
I just went on to explain that if I'd done that (and I have, and I will again), I now realize how many person hours it can cost, and *I* felt bad about mine. Typos are GOING to happen, sure..it'll happen again...there's just no consequences unless they are in a clue... like the havoc my typo wrought ..lol... no man, your submission was as close to perfect as I've seen, my compliments.. the only others I have seen that good looked a little like cheatin'..and you know what we do with the likes of them around here..... we blacksnake 'em outta town on a rail... and then buy a round of drinks in the Sundown Saloon or Lighthead Bar, we can't decide yet. No worries on your post Ron, sorry if I made it sound that way... I was holding it up as to how to DO IT WELL. PM me on what sounds like real campaigning you are working on - you've made a few references now I realize it wasn't just context humour. I'm interested in ppl who care about that.... no matter who I am for, versus who you are for...I just wanna know what the campaign work is like, cool ?

ANYHOO THE GAME

In which , Ron offers the following observation as well...makes quite a site to picture goin down the road...lol...

Any how per below:

as for #151, Poor Lil' Abner...errr, Allison

the chorus ends with something like "...or what she's thinking Deep Inside"

OK I rekin I can be neighborly enuff since jj airn't read the submission-tightening re-quest I made further down.... OK....

Clue per database:...deep inside

Lyrics as submitted:: "...or what she's thinking Deep Inside"

Never knowing, never feeling, showing so much pride
Never saying what she's thinking or feeling deep inside

rough shave noteably on no clue submitted, but coldbe inferred as known, and the lyricspatch was a bit hazey, botttom line, "I knew what he meant" and it IS a friendly game. My comments in the big block this page under tightening up are more in refernce to I could determine if a post wwas a submission or not being clearer, but I'm clear that was his intent here. No doubt. So I say "will you help me take over this ship?" - no,no scratch that , bad star trek epiode.... I say: I know what he he meant here, just a little ruff around the edges. If he wait a week for me on responding, I can cut some slack too. So........ I do declare......

CORRECT ANSWER ! jj

Thanks Ron, And BTW - the closest you've gotten in putting up posters is exactly what I've done.

That leaves only one song left to get in a fresh batch, players - Q154....in there, then we'll do 6, or 12 more, any input ? And any input on the saloon name ? Currently, we are batting around A: LightHead Bar, and B: The Sundown Saloon. Thoughts ? Then I can build a little acoutrements into the program for a little bit of ambiance - you know - the place you can always drop in , and find a friend, take a shot at the fake Parrot (Head) anti-mascot( with a BB gun only lol), throw darts, try your hand playin poker with Shut Up and Deal, I'm Losin' ( I have yet to formally retain him, pending outcome of our thread's watering hole name - a resident card poker dealer would only fit in a Western Saloon.......whistlewhistle....good name that Sundown....:whistle::whistle:) have a drink, or a club soda and twist, Lime Diet Pepsi for me !:clap::cool::biggrin::rolleyes::eek:

Again - ALL THAT'S LEFT IS Q154....in there

ok jj, you're right. I sure did make a mistake. After painstaking re-checking this time, too. And I'm very sorry for all time mis-spent on Q154. Oddly, the only place it is typo'd is in the set of 6 intro, on the previous page. In the para-program, meta-data, and tabular dataset, and in every one of the multiple reminders of 4 ,3, 2, to go etc., with the clue reminders, as Char requested; it is portrayed (or stored/entered as in the para-program) correctly.

I also, like an idiot, mistook good humour on jj's part reccomending I call joveski to the bullpen, being a Colorado boy myself (boy at 50? well...), rasied on the edge of a high-country dude-ranch, and the Rooftop Rodeo in Estes Park, I forgot my baseball for a moment...duhhh....lol... and thought he meant humorously he needed me to get joveski to get in the bull(as in 2000 pounds of pi88ed-off)-pen (where they await that make a gentle bull mean strap) to metaphorically pick-up on some clues he was too tired to address, and of course he meant baseball bull-pen. I'd just been exposed to more bull of a different breed on that high-country summer-only ranch. It turned into an all-winter snowcap after October.

Back to my screw-up, on Q154's clue(s), the intended clue, dots to the left only, was a unique one for this thread, hint here jj, as it is the first of my clues to unintentionally borrow on the Mandoann song-within-a-song phenom quite by accident for me, when I saw the Q154 clue in its verse context, it was indeed a song within-a-song. The typo'd version at point 1 kick-off in the set-of-6 listing of clues, that version will not produce the song of that unusual nature. But by your awarded winning of the 1st Q154 clue given. you also have fresh in mind, if you want, to see what might be the longest song name title cut to be found within a wholly different song. It (the intended clue variation) remains an exercise in fun to that end, as you are hereby "formally" (maybe informally is more what you'd enjoy ?) awarded Q154 allready, as well you should be.

Stated another way. I will stand by any entry that was based on either my before AND after dots as Ron attested to, we sure got me on that one, or based on the way it was portrayed all next (this) page. I've noted your Q154 submit based on the first time clues were show- ....in there.... in this case, jj, based upon the before and after dots producing, as would be no surprise the song that would have been within THE song originaly intended. No worries. As I say, you win 154, and should.

So here's the scoop: Q154 was introduced this way: Q154....in there....
When all 6 this time were, and are, meant to be end of verse clues. Clue 154 was subsequently portrayed as it was intended; Q154....in there
Man you think I would have caught that. No excuses, I'll not distastefully trouble you with medical difficulties that contributed , because when I did discuss this the other day, it was so you'd know I was not carrying a cavalier or careless attitude about the thread. I care very much about one thing in particular.

You guys having fun. My fun is in thinking through difficult, but identifiable clues for songs, and seeing you guys think through them.I sure do enjoy it.

But, it would appear in some areas we should make some mid-course corrections, that everyone enjoys all aspects of the game, even changing horses. Lets talk about that during civilized hours - I have a few ideas to run by everyone who'd read 'em. I no longer care about format of entry. It helped my eyes, really, and helped insure your ability to win that clue by having enough info for me to work with. Thats no problem though.

I want to reduce as many aspects of being the "boss' -as you guys have kindly started to put it respectfully in fun. I'd much rather have the honour of hearing in your words more ( for most all the "regulars") that you are enjoying a relaxing, fun, and fair game you have fun playing. Less formal, more relaxed all the way around; that way we're all less likely to "sound like" (only) trying to "count cous" on finding error in each others work ( mine and yours) - which none of us are given to by nature... having just started to feel and hear it, its time to throttle back pronto to FAR more casual approach to the game. Think ? lol...

Based on "how's my form? technical execution? artistic merit?" - I'd say either I'm tired and not recognize a regular's laconic humour, or more likely I need to somewhat-to-radically alter the 'more' rigid entry format and minimize 'rules' in general. I'll enjoy it personally as long as everyone has fun, and its not camp run-amuk when it comes to submissions ..lol.., but consider all pretenses of submission form, appearance, aesthetics, etc, history, as they were, or as perceived. For those of you who have kindly used the format so simply and helpfully - thank you, but it takes fun away from some - and I understand that. We don't log in here in corfid to work with thread rules, we come to have fun and talk of Lightfoot. In this 'Game' context, of course there have to be a few. But I'm open to any ideas, as I've said - its a democracy. I'll know we are on to something good when Ron sounds like he is having fun again. That not a critique Ron, its a sincere wish that you DO have fun in a thread you've been loyal too for along time, and I appreciate it. That...goes for all of you.

To game business: :clap::headbang:

RESULTS OF Q154 AND jj's submission based upon Q154....in there.... all formalities waved - I trust you jj and know you are right in this, one of my favourite songs, though not the intended song, nor would it work had I not typo'd - and that is still an interesting prepondrant variation on the clue as seen on this page up and down - you or anyone might enoy finding a one-time case that came to me on the clue being in a portion of a verse that is a song within a song, not meant as a format - thats mandoann's excellent idea, it just worked out that way. So for Q154....in there.... as the basis for awarding the win to jj on the song 'Is There Anyone Home' - gl , from the opening clue typo, well done jj and sharp eyes, thank you.
CONGRATULATIONS!jj - Q154 SUCCESSFULLY ANSWERED !

For fun, if anyone wishes to crack the clue, as intended, but typo'd previous page, but as seen on this page in reminders, the clue I had in mind, for another song containing Q154....in there ( no dots after) - the song answer to THAT will surprise you. Thats fun on the side. JJ has formally , and rightfully won this last of 6 clues 151 - 156.

NEXT POST ARE THE NEXT 4 (four) songs, a quick one to bring us up to an even 170 clues ! Then, maybe, 10 ? at a time ? Thoughts ?.

Thank you again, jj, and again, my apologies for the typo to all, and the un-fun format rules... jj , forget 'em. For those who have found the format unencumbring, its fine to continue submiting that way, but you need only one rule - HAVE FUN ! Just gimme enough to figure out what you mean, and I'm happy to oblige, and pump it into the proprietary geo-cruncher (TM) !

And jj - thank you for the kind words: "thanks for going easy on me, steve" lol - which tells me rules grew to many, a gracious way to let me know and still be a "gentleman and scholar" - and:
"hey, hope things turn around for the better on the health front" :)
Thank you jj... and have FUN !

Q151 - 156 ARE COMPLETE, AND MORE ON THE WAY !

Note:
OK - Its only de riguer to show the intended song from the clue given, but a fair match containing the clue word(s) given first, wins the clue by current convention in the game, unless near simultaneously submitted by another player with the intended song.

Joveski , an update for you:

Turns out Jenney's submissions all worked and double checked this evening completely , as I gave 'em a quick glance by memory this morning:

Q160 , allready covered in reply post to you remains outstanding, despite your so close sound-alike on clue words in TWOTEF. SO close.

Jenney took all 3 Q's157, 158, & 159 with a few ambiguous cases, and intended, and your subsequent Q's for those 3 of could the clues be used as you called for, you got a couple of intended songs in the process, just unfortunately for ya later than Jenney nailed 'em with as intended and ambig mix she had. Well played by Jenney. Your usual astute answers were thwarted today - thus far- (day ain't over yet :) ) by the sound alike on Q160, and just time of submission, after hers, later , with your correct and intended songs. Well played, in any event as usual joveski .

Man-o-Man, if we were to white-board an E/R diagram of song and clue entities, and lines - relationships - connecting clues both working for one ambig, but also as intended for another song, the resultant maze of intersections on just 3 songs, would be a pop-art sensation ! Verrryy interrresting ... lol :clap::headbang:

Thanks for playing, Joveski - remember ,
- Q160....wind and.... is still outstanding !

:clap::headbang::headbang::biggrin::cool::)

can 159 also be On the high seas? (is there no rainbow's end)?

160: Wreck of the edmund fitz (the wind and the wires)

also 157, can it be Stone cold sober? (daylight in October)

Q160 ....wind and ....

A MINOR BALLAD

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea ~GL

****ALSO****

THE MOUNTAINS AND MARYANN

The wind and rain might burn my eyes but I won't feel the pain ~GL

****ALSO****

CROSSROADS

Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew ~GL

There are probably more, too (oh yeah, Shadows--it's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone). Playing this game has caused me to put my entire GL collection into high rotation and in doing so I've really noticed how themes of nature (like wind, which is very pronounced) and critters (fish, bees, etc), even food, repeat themselves throughout his songs.

Might make for an interesting new thread, to start with the many songs referencing a specific theme he's written about? Has that been done before? Critters might be fun? Surprisingly he's got many references to foods too. What does everyone think?

Partial excerpt from Oh,Linda!'s post
A MINOR BALLAD

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea ~GL

Oh,Linda!, you had 3 other songs that work for that , too, a tour-de force. I re-read you ideas, and the theme Q's I really like, in fact, I had once suggested a theme set before this thread of seasons, eg autumn, spring, etc. I like all the ideas, got my vote ! We could pass the deal, too ! I've allways thought the game should be moreof a democracy, been trying... besides - I want to boo and his and make cat-calls at the "host" of the Q's too ! lol j/k

Reminder - we are done with the current set, and a new set is forthcoming !

geodeticman.5

10-12-2008, 10:46 AM

Oh,Linda!, Char noticed a great preponderance of specific words.... notably she was astounded at how many references there were to HANDS ! That would allways be a creative fall-back for theme sets, too. We could pop-in a test set within the next 10, say 4 out of 10 are "critters" as you suggested. Let's wait and see what the other's say, as you suggested, in a bit. I can wait around about 30 minutes, then I can re-address the new set this late afternoon, MST.

geodeticman.5

10-12-2008, 10:58 AM

Wind prevalent ? How about the Oceans, and the word "Sea" eg High Seas, by the sea, etc. This is giving me lots of ideas for theme sets, or, since it WAS your idea, you cold always do a spin-off thread if you wanted of course. I'm happy to incorporate these ideas if you want, and the others like it, too... hmmm I'd caution you on time, I am out of commission right now, permitting me to have time to spend say 2 hours a day and more, and it takes that, I run a program, have a relational database, things to consider. Not necessary, but the "you got it post" I did for you on reply to Q160 took 10 minutes, it would have been 20 -30 error-checked and all. PLain old hand-typed text with no colors or fancy stuff to make it more fun is not necessary, though, it could be handled much less structured on the responses, been leanin that way anyway ! Good idears, as the U.K say so well !

Oh, Linda

10-12-2008, 11:18 AM

Hands would be very good indeed. There are a lot of theme options. I'd suggest if the group likes the idea we start a new thread -- and keep this one you've got going as you have it structured. Hands, birds, fish, geez I just returned from my Sunday morning jog with GL on the iPod and Sea of Tranquility is full of critters:) I know this thread takes a lot of time on your part. Happy to help get a new one going! Thanks.

Ron...lol... are you tellin me that...lol (pardon the mention Ladies, no offense meant, just gotta raz the star-bellied sneech) Jenney ! andOh,Linda! intimidated you in your town.... must'a been Calamity Jenney, and Oh,NOmoreLEADlinda! , then, in disguise......lessee here,

Oh - seriously Ron, I have heard of Archie before, once previously under very unpleasant circumstances...who's that ? A Gord-slinging friend of her's ?,
Actualy, thats none of my beezwax, I might ask her directly as a gentleman, we don;t talk behind the lady's backs... she did do some mighty-fine clue-slinging. Closest I can recall is an older actor who specialized in this gamebefore it was well known...... Clue Gallagher......a hahahaha lol

I believe the ladies stand just fine on their own two feet, no need for "help from a man' (tip 'o the hat - no offense again ladies, speakin well of ya) - you think maybe they both did it on their own.....merit and knowledge.... I say thay did".people in the Sundown Saloon stand up from their clay chip poker games, (seems some revenge-seekin lady name Charcame thru declarin this county both no tin-horn card-sharkin for reals -wait thats marbles..for money, and a no smokes town as well... must a been the U.S. Marshall Char I been hearin is ridin in these parts, I'm the law in this little town....unles of course..she's a callin me out....."

the bar patrons further push their chairs back further, even though they'd allready lined the wall... just for effect.....
anyways Ron, I say the ladies CAN hold their own in here, and they got all greenhorns at words, clues, and a 'cypherin got both black-snaked (non offensive old West term) and run the guys playin out a this thread on a rail they was a makin their plays so well...

OK GOOD TOWNSFOLK, I HAVE TEN CLUES HERE AS PROMISED ! Note: if you didn't have a chance to see all of Saturday and Sunday's pages 15 &16, they'll add a lot of context to notably the written comments in this post of new clues. A lot transpired on page 16 in particular, but both 15 &16 are useful to catch up if you want from the bulk of Saturday and Sunday; ideas, new thread, resolution of Q's 157-160,etc.

Be careful on 166,169, & especially 170 - almost surely not the songs you'd think at first. Not meant to be tricky, just they (166 &169) have definate ambig's - thats not so bad ? I'll further help by telling you 170, without an ambig as given that I know of per wording and dots... harkens wayyy back, not all players, even staunch all "20" album fans - remember that number started with UA. Ended with Linus Records, but his solo albums did begin before the "20"....and THAT related old album, a Lightfoot album, versus other duo pursuits around the same time - but NOT ambig per wording and dots...on Q170 is guaranteed to first call to mind a 1986 or so...solo....on stage..., and the LP recorded of it back maybe 4 years earlier or so....THAT song that will come to mind, isn't IT.....go back about 20 years ;) :headbang:

That's the most I can start you with on the hardest (I think) -"ringer"- Q170, without removing the challenge alltogether. I've given this out of respect for those who may not have this ...song or album and CD, among the hardest to find of his..but LP-recorded. Licensed "offical release" under a label name I'd not heard until I received it recently as an extremely kind gift. Hope all that helps.

This particular song I believe he would, in a moment not unlike his compassionate, but still frontier justice solution to a relatively recent squabble-settling with, I believe, family of an old friend and colleague of his; as reported in media anyhow, and corfid legend. I believe this one ringer he'd do the same 'thing" to it if found lol, that he did ostensibly to the frontier solution to the other spoken of ! That either helps, or put it out of mind completely, you'll know which if it rings as enlighthead'ening to you right away or not. :headbang::clap:

Also, keep an eye out for Oh,Linda's new thread she thought of while listening to 'puttin all Gord's music in rotation'. While doing this, and hearing them in a whole new way, listening while jogging in her IPod for among other things, purposes of this game preparedness, and the preponderance of themes as was discussed yesterday and a lot today - be sure to see all the posts Saturday and today.

If you haven't, and catch all the speculation from many of us - notably Oh,Linda!, who after hearing the "Hands" lyrics preponderance from Char I mentioned to her, she listened to all the 'critters" as a theme potential too in 'Sea of Tranquility', talked in a few posts above on page 16 anyway if this posts over to 17, and has opted to take our encouragement, and do a whole new thread game, themes related, and I , for one, am looking forward to playing it - she's sharp, too on lyrics, if she does it off the top of her head rules... no matter, it all sounds great to me !.

Yes, you are interpreting the rules correctly.

I may be wandering into geo steve's jurisdiction, but here's a slight clue :
It's one of Lightfoot's lesser-known songs, and I don't think I've ever seen it on anyone's list of favorites.

It's open to various interpretations, but my understanding is that the word between dots is not the beginning word or the last word in a lyric.

I encourage everyone to join Oh, Linda in her campaign to have a "one giant sentence" rule.

I think I remember Tony Rice singing one of GL's songs with pyre in it, but I can't place it.

Seems like that gets mentioned in Pride Of Man. Something about a 'pyre of flame', so not only does it rhyme, it appears to have the same meaning as 'fire'.

CHAR Hi !

Note: if you're feeling confidant on the few real "rules" in the game, and not trying to remember some -such as with infrequent players, new players, or just plain forgot a few :) etc., - skip down to the yellow "onward to the game" - otherwise - for a couple refreshers to enjoy the game more, please read the following:

BTW Char per a few Q's I see you had posts below, no new "rules" - they're all by democratic process now, and the only change fundamentally was like 100 threads back. The dot rule -Hesitate to call it that - is only meant as a help to you , which the fast (frequent - daily) players make quick use of is all. Point isn't to demand conformance, were here to have fun ! :cool: ,its to help figgerin' out.

Same idea in songs no changes, the first song that works with the dots and clues- verbatim, no contractions, sound alikes, etc, wins it, intended song or not ! :clap: Dot help-rules re-iterate (short version)

Q997....cool word(s).... - means clue word's- verbatim, no contractions or
sound alikes, are in the middle of the verse line
Q998....cool word(s) - the clue word(s) are at end of verse line.
Q999 Cool word(s).... - first word capped first letter - the word(s) are at
beginning of the verse line.

The above "helpful things" will effect several of the submits today. It'll come
back 2U and be automatic. like Ron correctly pointing out what he did below.

Only new thing - Jesse gave me 2 claps on lol (that didn't come out right) is the (hear the song in your head "Big Bad John" -melody) BIG X. That now adds the X to the list of original clues by each song, and at each successful post automatically - and satisfies a request ( a rule :eek: ) you had for a very helpful it turns out clue as to whats outstanding left to play. Thats it !

Just wanted to bring ya up to date, and maybe some of that ole' enthusiam will return when you play ! - BTW - on the clue of "turpentine", did ya see my caution (help 4 U ) as to NOT using the song from the early 80's - go back 20 - 23 years, thats a bigggg clue, to the tuffy in the list. Collectors bonus it really qualifies for, but the B1 clue convention threw everypone in a tizzy - except the rock-steady regulars -

like Joveski; he reminds me of a famous alpine climber named Reinhold Messner, (this is a compliment, Joveski :clap: )who was my climbing instructor's partner on big walls for years, - when asked if he preferred climbing in warmer, moist air above 32F, or arctic cold like - 40F and DRY air - insulation doesn't sweat up , BIG CONTROVERSY in the gear industry - his response laconically and calmly : "It makes no difference, all climbing is good. No matter yes ?" Course, Messner died in the Himalaya, alone, in the cold, in the dark. Like Hemingway would describe Citizen Kane's passing and his Rosebud sled....-sigh- Oh well :eek: :biggrin:
He climbed solo and no oxygen in the death zone - in the 23,000 ft and up range :eek: Point Being - no matter all the histrionics we may go thru over rules we think are there, but aren't, or should be, or whatever, Joveski just plays on - and has fun ! :clap::clap::headbang:

Onward to the game now !

Oh, Linda comments re: ....throng....

Oh,Linda! , I took your reply as a comment in general at first. but if you want me to run it, Just holler !

I'd say Redwood Hill but I don't think the dot rule works here geo Steve.

So nobody goes off-track, I should tell u all right now the ....throng.... versus dots "rule" - lol... boy that dots rule chaffs me 2 lol - for a different reason - its meant to be a help - and allow for the very means by which you can submit an ambig and win it, otherwise, no dots, then it would be only the intended song that wins it, which of course is NOT the case now - ambigs CAN WIN IT, otherwise, - no fun !- its just meant 2 b help, but yes, answers must conform to if it unless I am wrong... but for whatever song you've in mind for throng - reconsider what you think what works and what doesn't - the base data I've imported for the prog I run, for lyrics is: Lighfoot! Wayne Francis site - I call it the "gold" site ! anyhoo - in so far as Wayne is correct, and Gords unusual lyrics spacing may not conform to your ears - which I commend u for using , instead of lookin up - we ought to revisit that rule anyway.... but by that std., throng and my dots are in fact correct - 2 help everyone on that - use the dots that way I assure you - 4 whatever song you've found them in - there is one where it works - - I am not ruling out any song at the moment- meaning i am not saying it isn't redwood hill ! I assure you the dots are correct.

Oh,Linda, if you want me to run this as your submission, I will, I wouldn't hesitate based on concern of the dots - that I AM sure of.

OH - and Char - I am in processing songs as I write - your turpentine will be out in a moment. I commented on it in response to "tin" - think back to around 1963 everybody - pre-UA !!!!

Update - as you see, it is out now. More tomorrow :)

NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THE FOLLOWING TALKY-TALK - GO RIGHT TO
Back to Lyrics BIZ
BELOW

Char, just thinking about your comment on turpentine, and how odd it is to use in a song by Gord, it struck me as: thats funny, seems to make sense to me that he sings "she cries turpentine" when he seemingly is comparing a tree to his girlfriend, or a metaphor between the various combinations there lol.. and he mentions turpentine coming out of the tree, as if it (she) were crying...made sense to me in context, -however unappealing for a prosaic song element lol...because thats where turpentine as a classic thinner comes from, typically, older uses for paint thinning, and uniquely I think from the balsam in your neck of the woods - a variation that dries like glass, comes from: trees -(one of several sources, trees, certain bushes, and synthetic "petro-based turp", but notably . one variation that I recalled from Lumber days (THATS why it seemed predictable in a song about trees...) is the Canada Balsam, hopefully not boring, but of brief interest given your nationality, from WIKIPEDIA:

Canada balsam, also called Canada turpentine or balsam of fir, is a turpentine which is made from the resin of the balsam fir tree (Abies balsamea).

and maybe two more sentences from WIKI is bearable lol :

Some uses include:
in optical technology to glue together optical elements such as two prisms to form a beam splitter, or two lenses;
to fix scratches in glass (car glass for instance) as invisibly as possible.

Mr. Science Wizard: that....is AMAZING ..lol.... not... but thought the Canada Balsam would catch your Patriotic side :biggrin:
BTW, isn't that a weird optical illusion, when you combine red & white, with a blue background, the red seems to lift off the screen higher than the white...Not all people see it, I mentioned it once to Jesse Joe, but I don't think he saw my post, which I did maybe a month after his. Do you see it ? The concept, believe or not (groan) has been used in Cartography for years on glossy media, and you WANT the red map element to be prominent. AMAZING ! sound of -pin dropping- clink....sorry

-oh well. science show...maybe if we are all good they'll play more tomorrow from Mr. Science Wizard, one of my heros as a child, as was the professor on Gilligan's Island - boy did I like that Marianne..... ayyyee :biggrin:

I mentioned Knotty Pine might not/probably wasn't the answer because of your clue that it was a long time ago... and that it was an odd word only because you usually don't find it in songs..even if it is wholly appropriate to the subject of trees...just an observation of the word itself not the meaning pr application..

No, it looks like you are correct.

Here are the lyrics to Pride Of Man... SU&DIL

Pride of Man, ©1964 by Hamilton Camp

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day
And behold the mighty city broken in the dust again
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame
Their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have fallen in the ways
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Terror is on every side, though the leaders are dismayed
Those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
On Babylon that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall and make it be a pyre of flame

Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
Oh thou that dwell on many waters, rich in treasure, wide in fame
Bow unto a god of gold, thy pride of might shall be thy shame

Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

And only God can lead the people back into the earth again

Thy holy mountain be restored, thy mercy on thy people Lord

Oh - also make sure I can tell when a comment reply is that , or a submission eg Oh,Linda's - I could not tell, 3rd read I believe it is, bot Oh,Linda!, can u tell me ?

I'm gonna stick with Redwood Hill, as submitted....:)

10-14-2008, 05:52 PM

should PYRE have been included since the first line of the thread for this contest states???:
"Simply guess the song, from the increasingly fewer words out of Gord's lyrics" - it says GORD'S lyrics..hmmm...hmmm... that song is NOT Gord's...
but the answer is correct!
lol

We're spiraling into chaos.

Maybe geoSteve should only post 3 "Fun Quizzers" at a time. That way, there might be less confusion, and his workload would be drastically reduced.

OK guys - just got back from Denver real life...sorry my time doesn't permit immediate turn-around :) I'm doin good to log in maybe 3 x a day and adress as much as I can as quickly, and carefully, thoughtfully :) as I can. Am workin away now as I "speak". CHAR, your point on Lightfoot's (versus other writer) cover of ''Pride of Man' is well made.... I will always defer to agreements on sundry issues as they were stated , unless democratically, they have changed over time :) - which this one, has not. There is a precedent - we've done Peaceful Waters, etc, and on Susan's Floor, but that does not change what you correctly point out. Consequentially, all that is fair is then to say who indeed said Pride of Man first, call 'em a winner, as everyone else, and maintain strict adhenrence to the not-considered old rule of "Lightfoot's Lyrics" - only. You're right, ma'dam Doctor Char !:biggrin: My apologies to all your excellent efforts in Pyre et al, you all worked so hard. That indeed is the answer, and had been.

Oh, Linda! - Roger that, Houston, will proceed as indicated by you as a sumbission, which you'll be glad of :):clap:

Sorry Char on my intended to be helpful talky-talk on Turpentine - I thought the Cnadian Balsam might be of a modicum of interest to a Canadian native was all, and Tin has been ruled on for your sumbission. I will look for all others...sorry bout that chief....glass is pending, all in chronoligical order submitted...do you like the "Big X" solution I progg'd into the game for each submission and simultaneous update of the original listing of ten, arguably redundant, but, should cover your good suggestion to do a reminder with clues as to status of "whats left" as we go. :) You like ?

Jesse, Shut-up, OhLinda, et al am workin away right now.... I sure wish I could answer as your submits are input ! More fun for U guys if I could... but as we've seen, especially lately as all are getting so much acumen on the "rules" of help, and play for fairness, everone is geting very in tune to detail on adherence - great , as long as it pleases you guys, lately , I'd sensed a need for more lax enjoyment. but I do believe anything that adds to fairness is good, will tighten up..thanks for all the good input.

Ron, you advice, and submissions have been a pleasure, thank you. In adherence, no worries. :)

Hang in there on your submits, am doing 'em right now. Won't trouble you innappropriately with personal details that can take me out of reply-ability for 1/2day, etc... I love this game and hope y'all still do to...workin hard right now.... BRB one by one... :):clap::headbang::headbang: BTW you guys like the lists of ten versus 6 ? I do - from my end - and it can keep you guys up for longer, til I reply..

Ohlinda - you open shop yet ? :clap:

C U shortly all woth replies...

We're spiraling into chaos.

Maybe geoSteve should only post 3 "Fun Quizzers" at a time. That way, there might be less confusion, and his workload would be drastically reduced.

Ron ole' baddy - only chaos is in anxious players - I understand. But the program has advanced enough, and BIG X" et all improvements - I switched to 10 songs to help keep you guys have more fun while I process, but as you point out Ron, in a way, throttling back to 3 -6 songs would in fact reduce my work load. (time) to your enjoyment..
problem was with 6 - you guys ate 'em up quiocker than i could *error free* eval them...its a double edged sword, but as in all things lyric game, i will go with consensus....:)
but your guys fun as well is my main concern - my methods are speeding up in program efficiency and MO of my end... but Ron.... put it to a consensus - I'll abide - I trust you to be offical vote taker - my experience is few ppl vote on things brought up - course I bury mine in blabberty-blab lol.....
:rolleyes:
I vote with Ron. go back to nice breakdown of tens..--- 5 songs.....at a time. :clap:
Players - you'll have more fun - trust me - if you TRUST the dots.... 4 errors now in 400 posts.... 995'tile - 6 sigma - thats mmm not a so badda...lol

trust 'em.. don't worry - b happy - and my lyrics - I guarantee they are correct in so far as dots work with 'em - in so far as Lightfoot! by Wayne Francis' site is correct - my check 'em basis before I post new clues.... and he comes pretty highly reccomended.....so. while we will ALL have human error...go ahead and submit that which you would therwise speculate on....run 'em thru - as OhLinda did on Redwood Hill - thanks Ohlinda - pending - quick one too ! how we hear 'em in our heads, versus Lightfoot's interesting and much written about rhyme within a verse makes it sound like shorter lyrics lines, when in fact they are highly variable but in the cases brought up the last 2 days - dots/clues/lyric compatibility is correct.... phew lol enjoy ! BRB WITH some results

Oh, Linda

OK GUYS HEY I HAVE AN IDEA WHADDYA THINK RIGHT NOW FOR A PATCH SOLUTION. I CAN HAVE ALL 6 REMAINING Q's OF 10 ANSWERED IN ONE SLAM-DUNK RESPONSE, - IF YOU WILL CHOOSE TO SIMPLY TRUST MY QUICK CHECK TO MY CONTROL-LIST INPUT TO MY PROGRAM, AND A SPOT-CHECK BY ME IN WAYNE'S WPRLD.

IT'LL BE LIKE THIS:

Q165 - ....pyre.... JOE WINS IT WITH ( )

Q168....throng.... JENNIFER WINS IT WITH SONG ( )

Q170....like turpentine BUBBLY MISSES IT BY THAT MUCH, SORRY...
(REASON)

ESSENTIALLY - CUT OUT THE LIST OF TEN FROM MY "BIG-X" PORTION OFCODE, FILL IT IN MANUALLY, NO RIGOROUS PRAGMATIC CHECK AS THE PROG IS SET-UP TO DO WITH MULTIPLE ERROR CHECKS BASED ON COMPLIANCE YOU'VE ASKED FOR IN LAST FEW DAYS.. COOL WITH ME TO ELIMINATE TEMPORARY PERCEPTION OF CHAOS, QUICK, CLEAN, SLAM-DUNK, NO QUALIFYING, YOU JUST CHOSE TO TRUST ME, OR I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY POLITE CHALLENGE TO MY DECISION, NO PROBLEM.

THEN, LETS GO THE ROUTE OF THE POLL RON IS COMMISSIONED TO TAKE ON EITHER REDUCING 10 SONGS BACK TO ..( ) 3 ? *5* ? 6? 5 IS MY VOTE - ADDS UP IN MULTIPLES OF TEN FOR CHARTING PROGRESS, AND ALSO IS ENOUGH TO KEEP PPL PLAYING FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES !! LOL... AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE PROGRAM THAT DOES RIGOROUS ANALYSES OF SONGS AND DOTS AND CAPS AND LYRICS AND YADA YADA..... I'VE ALLREADY RECIEVED MY BENEFIT TO ME OF SHARPENING MY PROGRAMMING AXE SKILLS SO TO SPEAK, SO IF YOU LIKE THE SLAM-DUNK - MEANS TRUSTING YOUR Sundown Saloon BARTENDER (ME) MORE SO I CAN DLAM DUNK, STARTING NOW. THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE PERCEPTION OF CHAOS - WHICH IS FROM WHAT I CAN SEE AN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF PLAYERS WHICH IS GREAT !, MANY NEW OR INFREQUENT, AND BEIN A LITTLE RUSTY ON THINGS AUTMATIC NOW TO REGULARS TO DOTS, BUT MAIN THING I SEE IS FINE WITH ME - BUT I GUESS CAUSES PERCEPTION OF CHAOS - THE FRIENDLY DISCUSSION COMMENT POSTS TO ONE ANOTHER , WITH ACTUAL SUBMISSION INTERSPERSED OR NOT CERTAIN AS TO POST TYPE. MY END, FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, IS GOING FINE FOR ME. PRAGMATIC, RIGOROUS,TRIPLE-CHECKED, AND TODAY , WAS GONE 1/2 THE DAY, AND HAD SOME PC DOWN TIME ON NETWORK ROUTER TO HIGH SPEED CABLE INTERNET....I'M GOING TO START THIS, SLAM DUNK AS OF NOW , CAN'T HURT, AND CHALLENGE ITS RESULTS IF YOU WISH, AS NORMAL. THEN AS I EMERGE WITH MY BIG X LIST CUT PORTION SINHLE RESPOBSE EN MASSE, MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN HAVE A VOTE ON 2 THINGS - 1 - NUMBER OF SONGS PER "SET LIST" - COOL :cool:
AND 2 - AFTER YA SEE IT - THE SLAM DUNK TRUST ME OR CHALENGE MASS LIST. C U CHORTLY !:biggrin::):headbang::headbang::clap:
oops got a form of indisposed for the last 45 miutes.sorry going on now to slam-dunk the remaining answers....

OH - the one giant line of verse submision works for me - how else can u guys do it in your head ? Redwood Hill is perfect example - right song - lyrics sound like a break in verse, hence a dots conflict, when in fact its a looong verse, and the dots are right ! i just gave that one away.... but it'll be out in the 10-list slam dunk shortly anyway.I'll be baack

I'd say Redwood Hill but I don't think the dot rule works here geo Steve.
I climbed a Redwood Hill
'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the throng
and talk with mother nature for awhile ~ GL
Are we allowed to make it one giant sentence? LOL!!
Then how about I handily combine the nifty dots and dashes . . . _ _ _ . . . and have a little fun. Any guesses?

Oh,Linda! submits: for Q168:Redwood Hill
Lyrics submitted:
I climbed a Redwood Hill
'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the throng
and talk with mother nature for awhile ~ GL

Lyrics per database, to help show how dots work in this case, despite slam-dunk mode:
(G) I climbed the Redwood (D) Hill, 'twas (Em) on a rainy (B7) day
To (C) rise above the (G) throng and (A) talk with Mother Nature for a (D) while
She (G) told me of her (D) love for the (Em) children in her (B7) trust
And (C) of her grave con(G)cern, for the (A) likes of (C) you and me and (G) us

Jessi Joe:
Is 'pyre' mentioned in "Pride Of Man" or did I get it wrong? :confused:

Sorry, Shutup and Deal, I'm just now getting to it :) 'BTW - the way your first post mention of it read, it looked like a comment, not a submission, really, not trying to be picky. Now, in this post, I know you meant it as a submission, good thing you posted this one, cause so much discussion went on about it, nothin qualified as a submission that I could tell until you stated it as such here. OK lets roll it and see ! -

Clue Submitted: no number given, its: Q165:....pyre....
Song submitted: "Pride Of Man"
Lyrics submitted to qualify, as clue and words were sorta not there lol, and the gang is holding to rules by the neck ! owww :eek:

err....I dont see any , I'm tryin to save ya here buddy, lemme look at your first post: stand by. BRB

OK I see you asked the question of Jesse, furthering even in the 2nd post why I thought it was a comment at first glance.
No problem, just didn't strike me as I read by it as a comment, sorry. We'll salvage things here yet, you got a HARD one... It sure helps confusion to use something close to the submission form, but I gotcha now, for the record, if you are asking is a partial submission right, just turn her in to me, I'm the "Alec Trebek" lol.... the thread host and originator. That doesn't mean much, and I still of course think all the comments posts are great, but when you're ready to submit, turn 'er into me, with a format I come close to recognizing - just a couple good examples, despite everyone's disdain for dots and submission form lol.... are the last couple Ron did - good examples. There are others too, of course... help they are holding me to 'em up by my neck ! ayeee...lol..see..its you know..like... owww !

OK lets see of we can keep this from scuttling here:

Lyrics submitted:

No, it looks like you are correct. - Jesse's comment, sorry. caught it in the cut-and-paste. hey Mon Amis Jesse . you ayre not the Trebek okeedokee Mon Amis lol lol :) tell them to submit and ask steve....or they- the others - and rightly so, will have my hide ! Its the only fair way. One person needs to judge, or we'll really have the chaos Ron feared. This is the last song of 10 so we're under control. Geo steve is an experienced manager in Great Industries of Science...and plywood.... lol

OK , again we try: lyrics submitted by Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin':

'It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again

lyrics check against Wayne's World:
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again

you got it buddy, congrats ! - and all that helped, too ! its cool lol

OK guys ! All submissions, that is to say, all first submissions unitil it was right, are in , evaluated, slam-dunk style, not even close to chaos at my end, but I see one real noteworthy thing to help y'all on: Comments are totally cool as posts of course... but I'll never recognize them as submissions, even three in a row asking your friends if it looks right...lol...lolll.loll.... so...lol....turn 'em into me whenever you are ready to say 'is this correct: i.e a submission - and please include something close to the submission form, say, at least have all the info , which isn't much eg

Example submission form (anything like it, as long as it has the info :):clap:

and

Q170....like turpentine REMAINS UNANSWERED

OK...think 1963 +/- a year... label before UA... ??? and not The Two Tones...???... The term turpentine is referring in the song to something she wears that smells like turpentine, and Gord the protagonist scares off her tacky suitor by scarin him oughta his big Cadillac, and he had hair stacked up like 4 haystacks...and her name...is...well...a flower, almost a weed, posies they used to call em in the 40's.....lots of COWS are named her name... in the song TITLE... and the TITLE is the opposite of "(her name) DOESN't" . Now, don't feel bad if even all that is not a help, this is a rarity.... and the record label is......envelope please Chateau

I have heard he'd like to round all of these up, anecdotally, they are not bootleg, they are a valid label, and NOT the TWO TONES, just ( )Lightfoot on the album cover...
and - like 5 of the songs are really beautiful...cool... the other 5..... lol..... are I think why he wants to find 'em they say.... picture Elvis doing vocal acrobatics, with a huh! at the end of each verse lol its great..., singing, hair stacked up, and sounding a little like "Gentleman" Jim Reeves or Perry Como (neither of witch are such a bad thing.....)its how they had him singing that is a fun hoot to hear... but picture either of those 2 , Reeves, or Como, on wacky Tobacky lol lol. even the funny songs... my 83 yr old mother said 'ya know..lol..those are still actually pretty (get this...83 yrs old) SWINGIN' lol I about died laughing, and she's there "hey...I swung baby - to Duke Ellington, and Pete Fountain even in my and your Father's day... :cool::clap::clap::eek:...lol

SO, thats about all I can say..lol. w/o tellin ya outright,which, for the right $, I will...lol Good luck....maybe the internet....will help ya...you know the label now....

Vote for Oh Linda's "one giant sentence rule" !!!
"Where will you be, my friendly, when your"
That's not a lyric, it's a partial lyric, and completely violates the "dots rule".

Note: Ron I conflated you quote above just a tad to save some page space, only to blabberty myself on down below ! lol

Hey Ron, just wanted to give you the courtesy of explaining why Char did win correctly so, with :

Char submits for Q169FRIENDLY, WHEN YOUR (....friendly, when your)(sic)
Song submitted: In A Windowpane
lyric submitted:
"Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't givin' out no calls
Database lyrics:
Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't giving out no calls correct you got it Char !

Here are a little more extended lyrics, hard-to-believe breaking-up of counter-intuitive lyrics ....breaking up..by Lightfoot's hand, unless Wayne's World and ole' Francis (is he that Saint Francis of Assissi ? - I see that here and there on signs near churches I have no idea what denomination, its not germane to corfid, but I thought the stature we assign Wayne's Lyrics board is such that someday....he might be one o' them :biggrin::clap: ) -is wrong - which I sincerely doubt :) , ...but its right, and thats why it was a tricky one, in fact I am amazed anyone got it off their heads.

At 170 clues now, I am having to, as I mentioned before (for accuracy,too to serve you guys well, after the first 2 mistakes) as I was saying after 170 clues, even with some repetition on my part, because I found that by coming up with clues off of the top of my head, I was getting them from the songs I LIKE..lol.... and not picking up enough UA period (which this song is more typical of why I do not like that period anywhere near as much as Warner/Reprise, except oh man some beauties came out of the UA period as you know, like CRT, Softly, SFAWN. Crossroads, you know the drill.

But with nigh on 300 ( plus Chateau Period.OOPS a slip on a clue for Q170)again lol) songs to cover in the game, plus rarities, I've had to to incorporate some partly unintentional glances partly intentional at Wayne's World for loading song data into my geo_cruncher_Light.(proprietary) program,; I saw all the UA go in anyway, and was able to keep giving you fresh material this way, as well as a larger untapped area yet to go of songs that I don't have pop in my head, that I do not like as much, personally, from 60's , 70's, 80's, 90's, & double-ought thru '08's. Anyway, the unconventional, but true, lyrics spacing of 'In a Windowpane':

Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't giving out no calls
And when the seasons come to haunt you
Will you still find the springtime in the fall
And when you're on your island
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
And will you feed a hungry man ~gl

per:
Lyrics perLightfoot! -source;courtesy ofWayne Francis

as you can see, to my surprise as well, Char is right, and that IS the Song I had in database for this Q ! So, its OK. I appreciate the help in catching any errata, you've saved my hide a few times Ron, thanks.

I thank you, sir, now I'll just say goodbye I'm too tired to tell if thats dis-associated from your orig quote, or a comment I broke up from the body of my comment to you in return...anyway, works for me :clap: :headbang:

Q170....like turpentine

Knotty Pine. "she cries like turpentine"

Mende - Howdy from Northerly latitudes, up around the 44-th parallel. Not lookin at a map, but since I put Melbourne into my little global warming spot-watching, I've noticed you are almost always same temp +/- on warmer days as where I live, up a bit higher than Castle Rock proper, down in town anyway, and just wondered, before I address your thang above, are you at low, low southerly lat's like say 55 south, and with coastal temperate weather ?; my tracker widget says Melbourne is either perpetually around 60 degrees during day, and you often say you're cold down there, which sounds like coastal temperate warmer days and colddddd...nights.

Or, as we get to 35 -38 at night this time of October above Castle Rock in Rampart Range territory, northerly terminus of The Pikes Peak famous (sorta - its where America the Beautiful was written from inspiration on top of, she- the songwriter - even mentions the Ramparts in the lyrics...once again ...I swell with Patriotic Pride -sniff-) - southerly end of the Rampart Range.

OK 'nuff blabberty on my part, anymore, socializing is half the fun in here with lyrics - have you seen the last 3 pages ? lol...its great !! apparent chaos to our previously pragmatic form-submit-feed program-output-answer-move-on-to-next-beep! M.O. I am liking this better...lots of cross-talk...if you make heads or tails of it on my part....which I am...but at first glance it appears to be relative chaos.....but the great minds looking at Dark Matter in Geneva in the Hadron collider are finding more ways of determining orderly-disorder in "chaos" in physics - Brownian stuff. no wonder they call it Dark Matter...lol....but we don't have chaos so much as a new larger group that enjoys cross-talk on a clue....and its like a ping-pong ball of who is commenting and who is submitting lol..have not seen you in and around last night...we wrapped all 10 except the 2 you must have noted - your submit on Knotty Pine is allready tried and it does not work I am sorry to say by virtue of dots, and actual lyrics placement....and the missing word "like' its based, as I clued everyone a few posts back... on an old song from the Chateau Label around '63 - a rarity...its a tricker allright..looks like KNotty Pine to everyone at first. as follows:

but I am taught by the 8th-degree jeet-koon-do masters in the 70's to deflect/absorb/reflect/be agile/be adaptive/ lol...lol...sounds like a business conference for a day of yawns and phrases to take back to the office...lol....

again:

Q170....like turpentine

Knotty Pine. "she cries like turpentine"

that is not actually to be found in Knotty Pine per Wayne's World with those two words "like turpentine" in that order, but rather, as you've said, close to, but not quite, 'She crys turpentine'

then:Q170....like turpentine actual clue ....like turpentine, versus Knotty Pine per Wayne's World:
(E) She's my knotty pine, (A/B) she leans with the wind
(Bsus4) She cries (no "like here") turpentine

and later in song:

She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
She crys(no "like" here, either) turpentine

Knotty Pine [/COLOR] ~gl

its a trickery one, George Bush Jr. would say, thats why just about everyone thought whay what you did too, and.... Char, I think - submitted as yours was... I'd have to go check, but I don't want to lose this post. I keep getting spontaneous need to re-loggin, minues apart- is anyone else getting that ? And "quick reply" seems just busted is all, it either says you're posting a duplicate from 5 minutes ago, or says wait 10 seconds and try again, and then it blows out... is it just me ? I always use full REPLY, or quote reply within a given post... you ?

Sorry Mende, you are in good company though - check out the wacky clues to the never-would guess it without internet research (hint) on Chateau Records around '63 byan album called ( )Lightfoot . :confused: :rolleyes:

nice effort - and intuitive as well. shucks...

Thanks for playin - oh - give ....evergreen a try - its got a new clue to help as well of Hi derry-day in the month of May merriment (done in rock-style ?

When I see EVERGREEN I immediately go to the Streisand song "Evergreen" and then I'm s.o.l. as my brain freezes up..
lol

I should put the music on again all day..my son isn't here to turn it off...maybe it will come to me and banish Streisand forever..
;)

LOL Char, I know what you mean on Brain freezes... do you remember the ad-campaign for 7-11 (those in "Canadia" ?)
and slurpees giving brain -freezes - like ice-cream too fast ? lol..

..phew it feels good to be caught up in corfid on the final solution to blasting away each and everyone of the submission. semi-submissions. and the asking each other submissions lol..lol... I got 'em all deciphered, but I'll probably take some heat for lax application of strict rules, that, every 24 hours - the mood changes and the rules are 'too strict" lol..then 24 jhours later.. "hey...that doesn't conform to the dots rules... that better not be excepted by the judge...when steve gets back he better not take that one " lol..... its good to see it taken both seriously - and have fun though.

New faces, got a lot of songs left to cover - over 150.....and I like the new slam-dunk - with Big X each post.... and alittle more flex on talk fun,too in the mix... hey I like OhLinda's food lyrics... I tried it and it was novel to PLAY a lyrics game.. I got my Brainscream out from processing like 450 posts so far,...lol.... but u know i STILL LIKE IT... q HAS BEEN POSED THOUGH - DO WE WANT 10 AT A TIME - OR 3 ,5 , ETC, .

There has been very thoughtful discussion of helping me keep up, but by turning the program off ironically, and winging it with being sure to double check whats in my database anyway, it made short work of the 10 tonight - whcih really got processed from 9 pm to 11 pm all 10 I think... I'm fine with whatever ppl want to do....anyway, glad you're not trying to figure out a "thong" song... lol......

Q162 - EVERGREEN
Song - Song the The Minstrel Sang (NOT Thong the Minstrel Sang!LOL)
Lyric - His aim was mean and his shot was clean and his suit was the shade of an evergreen.

Char, you hearty soul, glad you did not give up on ....evergreen ! You''ll B glad, 2 ! Tell me, was it the last few tucked in and there hints a few posts up - like hi derry day in the monh of may , to Rock-ish music ? As Ron said, whom I believe knew, as he commented a few times regarding in a way that indicated he knew, but as he'd looked it up, I think he takes honourable mention for having the admirable ethics for leaving it to someone off the top o' their head ! Hear-Hear, Ron !

onward to your submit, I'll slam dunk style. That is the faster method if ppl think it contains enough clarification to satisfy to all why the song did- did/not pass muster.... I can plow thru ten on slam dunk mode fast enough...since no ones voted, Char, what number of Q's/Clues do you want posted ? Ron suggested 3, not knowing I had been off to stuff in Denver, and the mice were submitting cheese to each other instead of the host lol.... as to the sense of Chaos: my gentle words hopefully cleared up not submitting to "each other" lol - but, like, too me ? That way I know its a submit - and they can get credit !

No spiralling downward problem here... I can do 10, 5, 3, I'd prefer either 10....., or 5 a whole integer fraction of ten, cause I can track clue's QTY. status completed more neatly in ultimately multiples of 10 - 5's add up to that if ppl wish. Thoughts ?, unless there is a vote from U or a few others, I'll tentatively post 5, and then go back to ten if no input. Lessen the "pyre' -type vague submission versus fun talk lack of clarity - I almost missed Shut-up-and Deals' correct submit !.... - all good fun, which is the point, but looked like chaos, and truthfully - I did get to where I could not tell if 2 ppl were submitting or commenting to one another - whch is cool. All above.. so your submit:

I too get the 'duplicate post' message etc..

Q162 - EVERGREEN
Song - Song the The Minstrel Sang (NOT Thong the Minstrel Sang!LOL)
Lyric - His aim was mean and his shot was clean and his suit was the shade of an evergreen.

OK clue submitted: Q162 - EVERGREEN
Clue per database: Q162....evergreen - close enough ....dots indicate acknowledgement of the word's necessary position. but if you get it right in the song - and lyrics, what the heck ? :)

OK--I think this is from All I'm After.

In the evening when the rain begins to fall
That's when I wonder if you think of me at all ~GL

Interesting how rain as a theme repeats itself in this song (my favorite rain themed song is Looking at the Rain).

Also interesting is the fact that the word "winsome" is in here, as it's a rather peculiar word and not used that often. A word, however, used twice that I know of in his lyrics--here and in "Rainbow Trout." "While Away" is anothr example, as in "while away the time of day" (Christian Island) and "you can while away the summer" (Couchiching).

I tell ya, this high rotation of GL music is making me notice a bunch of recurring "themes" so to speak. I even listened to a song today that had about five words in a row that repeat in an entirely different song of his, but in the exact same order. Now if I could only remember it!

Oh, Linda

10-16-2008, 09:38 PM

I listened to the song (didn't check lyrics page) to get EVERGREEN and the lyrics I heard Lightfoot sing were: 'a shade of AN evergreen'.. they are EXACTLY (not just 'close enough') the lyrics he sings..

regardless of what a lyrics page says the lyrics are "shade of AN evergreen" ..
just clearing that up..
;)

yep - your further clues were most helpful !!

Thank you Char, I'm sorry...,and, despite Wayne's World held as the datum of reference for the game, I listened, you are sure right...goes to show that human error (mine) is very real, and moreover human superiority to computers and programs....aaaghhh HELP my geo-lyrics-cruncher program is strangling me, and saying .."don;t EVER question me again, Steve... or I shall certainly send you out into that hole in Saturn caused by the Hadron Collider....OK steve are we clear, my creator?? hmmm ? and ya know it looked kinda funny when I loaded it in and then saw it come up in reply to yours... as 'sheen" - green is not even a sheen - its a "hue" in carto, color to normal people, not weird map-crazy ppl like me lol..

pretty neat, that's as long as the "If there's a reason" one that Shut Up and Deal came up with...I wonder if these is a 6+ word phrase out there?

10-17-2008, 06:48 AM

and great job on that Q170 !![/COLOR]:clap: :clap: :clap: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

well, that was one heck of a clue you gave, lol

"OK...think 1963 +/- a year... label before UA... ??? and not The Two Tones...???... The term turpentine is referring in the song to something she wears that smells like turpentine, and Gord the protagonist scares off her tacky suitor by scarin him oughta his big Cadillac, and he had hair stacked up like 4 haystacks...and her name...is...well...a flower, almost a weed, posies they used to call em in the 40's.....lots of COWS are named her name... in the song TITLE... and the TITLE is the opposite of "(her name) DOESN't" . Now, don't feel bad if even all that is not a help, this is a rarity.... and the record label is......envelope please Chateau"

i'm gonna have to let #154 go....i'm signaling for the lefty from the pen

OK--I think this is from All I'm After.
In the evening when the rain begins to fall
That's when I wonder if you think of me at all ~GL
Interesting how rain as a theme repeats itself in this song (my favorite rain themed song is Looking at the Rain).
Also interesting is the fact that the word "winsome" is in here, as it's a rather peculiar word and not used that often. A word, however, he chose to use twice in his lyrics, here and in "Rainbow Trout." It might even be in more places than that.
I tell ya, this high rotation of GL music is making me notice a bunch of recurring "themes" so to speak. I even listened to a song today that had about five words in a row that repeat in an entirely different song of his, but in the exact same order. Now if I could only remember it!

Note: thank you , Linda, expos factos for allowing me to scrunch-up , or "conflate" your quoted area a little, no change in content, only reduction of airspace. That way I can blabberty more. lol.. :rolleyes:

Thank you for replying on this very difficult Q/Clue , Linda. Lets slam-dunk it hopefully in to the Hall of BIX-X, sung to the tune of "Bid Bad John..Big-John"
....lol - :biggrin: You know I just realized I provide my own laughtrack, like the fairly weak original sit-coms (fairly...??) all the way thru at least the last half of the game.....I'm most embarrassed,and ask you to come into my humble thread and be welcome. He who has rice-paper walls, and bamboo framework should not ... uhmm.. there has to be a fake wise saying to make out of that...lol.... write thread flames ? ....who knows..anyway.......

Thank you for your patience in waiting for the reply to your submit here on the hardest of the 5, I believe. This new slam-dunk reply-time turn-around is so much quicker, I simply had unavoidable reasons I could not attend to it until now.

Yes - I too have noticed , rather than themes per se such as the ubiquitous maritime and water-body and feature themes, I have been noticing more phaseologiques, for which I understand he is quite well recognized by songwriters for. Th iodioms and of sentence ryhime; then he will just as easily write the words he wishes to convey; rhyinig or not, especially not, then he still adds a known poetic contruct such as haiku-like 17 syllables, sure enuff. I too cannot remember the last

OK: you wrote, conflated and encapsulated from above:

5 new songs Q's/Clue's will follow the end of all 3

blabberty posts like this in the Yellow new clues post !:

This is part1 of 3"blabberty"

skip this and the next 2

posts if you wish to play only game clues - the next 5 new ones !

Memoirs (pre-humous) of a game thread host to other game thread hosts:

"Ya can't please everbuddy!, but you sure can get some

to think (ugly) thoughts about you lol" - smd aka pen-name for

years, not Trevanian, but:

geo steve !

Otherwise, take a peek into the strange minds of game hosts;

speculation,myth,or fact ? Does it pertain to the DaVinci Code?

Part 1 of 3 post-post Q175 gaming theory talk and a lot 'o baloney:

Steve's game reply posting on Q175 from Linda after-game-specific

requities, remaining length thoughts too much for the game

submission reply proper.

Part 1 of 3 - ruminations after Linda's post Q175. - "The

seperated non-game-requisite portion of my reply to Linda's; became my

short moderately-novel-ette, reviews include: "23,000 characters,

all well-developed' (News Annually

" - read the book: "Divergant minds

versant convergant minds _ perceptions of chaos lost, or paradise

gained?": previuosly published as:"The Mobuis Lyrics

Chronicles & Trilogy" winner of the

Huego award, almost, AND, THE

PRIMARILY OUTER-SPACE SCI-FI-AWARD, AND/OR ITS SMALLER COUSIN,

THE SEMI-FICTIONAL SHORT STORY CATEGORIES; BOTH IN THE PURVUE

OF THE "'Nebulous Award'

", 'The Nebulae Award'' for more than one 'Nebulous

Award' for full-length Sci-Fi novel, and again the smaller cousin for Semi-

Fictional Novellettes of the same ilk as The Nebulous Award' - 'The a Bit

Nebulous Award'. Finally, it won the 'Beegadze Bunja Core-Wrap' the

often sardonic and less-than-tolerant critics-with-short-attention-spans

guild and guild-casting for when it came to video. Wow ! Thats quite a

list to the right then the left; its like that inflatable punching clown that

allways stands back up. Toys with no self-esteem, or a hardy center of

gravity, one or the other !

Thoughts germane in part to Oh,Linda's game hosting in (Edible

Quizzers) abd sundry discussion lyrics related combining several

talks of Lyrics game laughs and dillemmas in general on lyrics,

"can't please everbuddy" - too long for a PM (5000 max versus

Posts - 10,000 max, of which this 23000 character post to

everyone and in some parts specific to Linda even cut in half is

still too long for a PM, and of likely insuffient interest uless

you are hosting a lyrics game, analogous in and of itself to the

dillemma in hosting the games resultantly, and aso contains some

material of interest to all perhaps.

This blabberty is ultimately all about what seem to comes back

around full circle to new thoughts;andfor handling ambiguous

cases for all interested players thoughts.

Also, my appreciation of the corfid membership over the years,

and then specifically how I HAVE appreciated the gang here in

Lyrics (non-edible and over in edible :biggrin: ) Surficially

related thoughts at best... lol, but GERMANE TO LYRICS in

general in this context. Some historical material on similar

lyrics in general as a concept going back to Joan Baez in 70's,

protest songs; and Lightfoot's discrete thoughts on same for a

Canadian artist's perspective.

- Hinging in some parts on the intended song for Q175, which was

superceded for Linda's win on an ambig case !

However - since in part two, here are some references to Q175

and Linda's work and submission, ( along with a large Qty. of

misc. thoughts on lyrics, songs, songwriters, Public Domain

Songs, protest songs, to be heard in most all folk singers's

work, IMO in Lightfoot's, discretely, and of limited QTY and

quite conservative mention/use. He was once quoted roughly as

saying that he did not ffel it germane or correct to build folk

songs written by him as a Canadian upon the shoulders of U.S.

protest movements, and/or event- eg Detroit and/or race riots in

USA, Viet Nam, et al he's felt more the pervue thoughtfully for

U.S.A. singer/songwriters - admirable IMO because it further

shows his thoughtful side for his contemporaries and colleagues

the U.S., and in general. Didn't/doesn't feel he HAS to have his

thumb in EVERY pie - I admire that.

And, a tie into Particle Physics that is actually

germane. To further enjoyment (I hope)in reading, the

break into two parts further allows reading of just the Q175

reply and game status essentials, and then if so chosen to read,

part two here without the extranneous information I am given to,

and by definition, some find tedious. In what other venue could I

have the chance to share tangential thoughts to Lightfoot's

lyrics with ties like these though ? Anymore

meta-talk of part 2 will be all of part 2, the world's first

Mobius discussion ! lol.... i.e Mobius strip et all

- the *real* ring of twisted ribbon that only has one side....not

ony possible but fascinating when further cut, the offspring are

on-again-off-again always connected increasingly shorter rings,

alternating from two-sided to one-sided. I'll avoid the head-pain

of the mobius pitcher. Both inside and outside and outside are

theoretically one surface, and exist only in mathematician's

minds and artists' renderings/conceptions with considerable

artistic license permitted their profession by definition !

Note to Linda

-specific- MULTIPLE THEMES U HAVE NOTICED

sounds like fodder for themes-based lyrics if one should sorta

play-out - which I've had happen in here - inedible lyrics lol-

and sorta re-invent methodology to regain interest a few times -

mostly 1st half of this thread's whole history - getting interest

to accumulate, and then now, as I've shifted with the gang (all

of you) in here to slam-dunk replies, but counter-

intuitively more enjoyable talk in many submits and replies and

talkin amongs the players near real time.

My turn around times have been using a lot of at-home time for

medical reasons I'll not distastefully bore everone with ... but

it left me with a double edged sword on time - I was here

more, thus available to process full-regalia "winter-sails"

(Ghosts of Cape Horn incredible video U C ?) responses, versus

the quicker (unless I blabberty lol...) slam dunk reply method,

coupled with the BIG X tracking status

for players convenience, especially with ten songs,

which I am ready to return to .... 10 songs,

that is - the 5 I just did- came and left in one day - hence the

justifciation I think for 10...

the couple of days that rendered me far

less available to process lent the ever-so-easy to have occur

sense of things out of control to some, when in fact, its

simply time, and the other factor that led to my spurious and

intermittent slow-downs - medical events so to speak ,

no more details from me unless someone genuinely needs

input in a PM on a similar difficuly - and

believe me, there are several epileptics and pseudo-ep as me

(absence seizures) that'll take me out for up to worse case

lately, had been 6 - 8 hours in a day, the time period most

responsible for the impression - understandably- of chaos

spiralling out of control... coupled with a new increase I find

enjoyable to read of player's combined thoughts, frustrations,

revelations, and sometimes consequentially difficult-to-discern

wheat/submisions from chaff/pure discussion. :) :clap: :headbang:

Linda, the interest of

ppl with a thread that has any form of repetition of mode i.e.

quizzers ( which corfid used to do a LOT of, just different

modes...and definately name...lol)IMO is a highly transient

thing, for very esoteric reasons -in part- lol that

can lose 'em in a day.... one: for good and real reasons, but

also unfortunately, two: -mildly upset or

frustrated- player(s), that is looked up to as a true long-

timer or influential person(s) in particular , often

whom have no idea how much impact they are posessed of, and

unintentional provocation of players no longer '

holding truck' with a game concept or temporal rule set if

they see the ...de facto judge de jour or veracity

of the thread ( not Char - who is extremely helpful

in keeping interest in a thread where she knows hard work is

done , time of self is given, and some appreciation is due..

.....it can happen in hours...and interestingly the

impression unintentionally given at times simply by being

court de jour as host, or worse - "judge" thought to be

enamoured of bossy power-trippin' , when in fact all thats in

your head as -host- is to provide a good time (

Repeat: if you wish to go straight to the new 5

songs: continue past this second blabberty to the yellow '5 new

Q's/Clues !

Part 2 of 3 (cont)-Ruminations after Linda's Q175

posting:

(cont from part 1 of 3) (this is part 2 of 3)

I like how U can play your game Linda-

very smartgift -of sorts- to your friends in

Corfid; in my case, for all the things they have done for me by

just being here to play in the hardest of times;

loss of Merry, current -sorry- seizures'

previous in past surgeries, even farther back , wayy back...most

of you guys heard portions of this in the past - so I apologize

for the premature eulogy lol, ut Linda has not heard I do not

believe, in so far as pertinent to my corfid vakue to my

recovery, and what leads as point-for-mentioning it - ultinately

the tiles to down-the=road from then to now remaining factors

that effect my "hosting", the patience for which you've all shown

as players I am indeed fortunate for and thank you. Linda it

started for me with a severely impaled leg in a

glacial/mountaineering accident, followed by impaired

..abilities.... related to day-by-day terrors and fearful in-home

nurses staff visits -(owwww!)then drastically more abilities lost

after a car -mountaineering accident with myriad subsequent

surgeries followed by several degenerative neurological, and

spinal-chord- and -structural, and then the car accident - same,

same, different, the longer-lasting nemessis with some left-overs

here and there apparent and germane to odd response-time

variation i.e."where's Steve; he's logged in and we show him by

his profile page as in Lyrics (inedible) - mostly, catching up

and the VERY fun writing of new clue's/Q's.

Ruminations on Lyrics heard versus per database eg Wayne's World

Lightfoot!:

Then,also memory blanks on my "hard-drive" in the brain-pan lol,

and the seizures, and general down time when each new iterative

surgery comes up and convalescing disabled down time - drool time

watching clock in teeth-splintering pain....my God Linda this

game has been a God-send of occupying my mind from dwelling on

terrors to me medically - and when it plays out - even if

tomorrow :eek: , I'll have had an extremely fortunate run -

Linda, if I may, don't take it personally if attention to your

thread peters out for awhile, or harsh comments made for-various-

sad reasons - worry not - the interest will "reset". or you will-

by reformatting the "themes" or what have you.... and keeping it

genuinely fun - is a challenege - I had the good fortune of a

very good friend , an -email pen-pal, also a corfid member, that

was such good input for me regarding how I was conducting myself

in games, loquacious posts elsewhere, etc. and then, somwhow - I

upset her without knowing how.... and lost a friend that helped

me "stay-the course" if say 4 example , un-beknown to me, I was

hypotheticaly acting bossy or smart-apple, and did not know it,

orr conversely, I worry too much, and at times things are FINE,

and I'm worried ppl are teetering on the edge of losing interest

- inevitable at some, I think, who knows ? It will die out, or

evolve perhaps outof my hands, in whatever the majority enjoy -

maybe yours too, along time from know, you've probably got a

long, fun, run with the present theme alone , not to mention

re-invention !

Further Linda, as I try to regain my old sense of humour -hard on

several counts, ( eg last Saturday would have

been Merry and my 29th anniversary - on the 11th... and I totally

lost my sense of humour and got defensive, and missing my recent

pen-pal to point it out made it harder, oh well... .

Linda, you've; and other readers even more likely, have no doubt

had your fill and more of this belaboured and non-sequiter

thinking-out-loud for now.... but I wished to

communicate how subtly operating a thread to help ppl have fun

can be misunderstood, quite literally, in a day,and to not

let it upset you, 'cause- like in "Field of Dreams" - if you

build it, or subsequently modify it (lol) , and its a fun good

game by the nature of it, and it is :clap: ; they will....(the

players) by the thread's intrinsic nature - "they will come"

sequel-"(back)"

LOL lol LOL lol. WORRY NOT Oh ye who toileth by midnight oil,

that others may take their R&R and honour you with their

participation - I'll let it go there (Linda has been eyeing

possible exits fo 15 minues lol....)-

this whole corfid group has patiently remained

friends with me through very trying times, and others I know have

gone thru far worse than I - and I am worried very much about one

extremely disabled friend on-line- I have not heard from

in over a month... funny how some start to seem like family.

Well, BTW - Linda, your thread is going great guns ! Congrats

hope U R enjoying it as host. :) .

Now I'm even more interested in database versus 'listened too and

heard' by afficianados' heard lyrics, end of sentence Q

notwithstanding, best 2 not go there , accept for me not

differing anymore on a reply thats ambig, and the "heard end of a

verse" versus the "database

end of verse surprises" - which , with common

sense - I'll accept more readily now like with what Char

found to be true on the 'Songs the Minstrel Sang' [/COLOR][/I]

and appurtenant lyrics: not 'cause

she's moderator, but because were I in her shoes, I'd feel

cheated if I KNEW the lyric was "x", and database said "y".

Then, you and I , and by format - perhaps moreso I, have to

exercise judgement in a few more apects, and consequentiqlly be

further subjected to more scrutiny for fairness in application of

"rules" equitably, coincidentally, and ironically in the

simultaneous midst of a paradigm shift to player-requested more

casual/less rules = more fun approach, becomes a logical paradox,

as the shift breeds less-equitable thought time given non-

rigorously to submissions by virtue of growing more lax for

everyone's enjoyment, only to answer to polite Q's, or ribbing a

little, which I am totally cool with :biggrin: , on "hey how come

you did "a" for him, and "b" response for her ? Foul ! Foul !

Judge ! lol...lol...

So I tighten up..only to see interest wane over 'too many rules"

lol..lol... a logic prof would have an absolute field-day with it

! Such is the game, and the solution lies in common sense as I

see it, there are no "'PAT" answers. These statements as I make

them, smack of truisms, and therefor allready are likely well-

thought and allready existing knowledge for you-, if not futher

than I, lol... and I am simply displaying a keen sense for the

obvious to you ! ...lol.... ooh well... I try too help !

:biggrin:

It all begs the question...at least I can smile the whole time

over identifying in my mind which one of the "twelve most common

written logical fallacies" is the game presenting me with, and

having further oppurtunity to "sharpen the axe" in the requisite

logic and linear-convergant modes of thought for programming in

my line of work, then shift gears in applying the priciples of

exception for my intrinsically divergant mind (aka scatter-

brained in a predictable order within chaos..lol) that seves me

better in the analyses-end of my work, which often takes the form

of what is the new correct question to ask, to properly plan and

execute/flow-chart the project known "type" of answer allready

forgone in nature, but not real answerrequired......leading

to"what question in turn do I ask...." Its all a chess-game on a

board of "chinese puzzle-moving tiles/squares" a.k.a. a moving

target -but its fun plinkin' :biggrin: - for you two Linda ?

So, onward and away from preachin' without a collar ..lol... and

on to topical discussion - more fun , less no-sh88 qualities to

it ! And BTW - I am - no surprise - going to have to break up my

2nd half (this post) into another split further, lol... no

matter...therefor the talky-talk will have 2 whole posts back-to

-back, and the first post of what would have been 2 planned,

becomes the first of 3 - the actual game-play response will

remain post 1, and this will become posts 2 and 3 after I split

and edit ! blah-blah-blah lol..... If I engage in any more meta-

game talk about the talk-about the game...lol... I'll have 4

posts ....ohhh noooo Mr. Bill................so, 'tseeer:next a

real subject .

end of part 2 of 3 blabberty's , GAME CLUES WILL BE AFTER PART 3

geodeticman.5

10-18-2008, 06:29 PM

Part 3 of 3 blabbert on Lyrics -

5 new Clue's/Q's will follow after this post !BTW - in this

song about Robin Hood and colleagues in his

arboreal mansions of green, and his suit the hue of Kentucky Blue

Grass Sheeny Green (j/k) -

An interesting two lines of verse at the end instantly brought

the famous protest song to mind - in the tune and roughly similar

verse, unreliable at the moment as I have not researched it, and

have no reason too: - I can't remember the title, and

dang it all if a corfidite didn't tell me exactly

the name of the song when I asked in a thread...I had it in the

70's when it was one of the"yeah man, power for the

people ! Yes ! Down with (A-Z FILLIN THE BLANK") - except you'll

never guess what I WAS AN ACTIVE ACTIVIST FOR:

I arranged, while a Physics major way back in late 70's, a large

debate in the largest PLenary -session room in

Colo.StateUniversity's Student Union *I forget the name of it now

!*- the bldg that is, but I put the University's top

egghead Proff in Nuclear Engineering, who was actually in the

M.E. Dep't, up against the head anti-nuke "Roy Young" - as I

recall, who was the head of the (of course) Boulder,Colo. based

"Rocky Flats Truth (Task ?) Force - who at the moment, I also

forget HIS name lol...making anythin I say in THIS thread "by my

memory - worthless tonight..lol...hey its been 30 years ago now !

Anyway -we packed the auditorium, and I had the two paralleled-

off in side-by-side Pres. Debate face-the-nation (versus each

other) diaz/podium config., and man-o-man the

students almost brought the building down,

I got REAL nervous 'cause I was getting the Hairy

Eyeball *(footnote below) - from Dr. Hadley (not H.A.D.R.O.N.-

lol) who ws the Head of the Physics Dep't, and is now

something like 113 yr old Prof Emeritus of the Dep't; they just

kind of prop him in the corner and he waves his arms with chalk

in one hand...lol...and NEVER got mad...but he was

MAD at me... lol..Well, no self-respecting Physics

Student could be anti-nuke at the

time..so,

Yes, its true, I was a Pro-

Nuclear POWER (NOT ARMS - POWER) - which 85% of the Eastern

seaboard is still, little known sshhhh fact

....Anyway at one point, the anti-nukes in the "audience"

- more like the Detroit Riots... a large group were doing the

love-in version of the "Wave" and chanting these lyrics from Joan

Baez' great cover of the Public Domain (I

believe) protest song - lyrics paraphrased were/are:

"Ain't nobody gonna turn me around, turn me around, turn

me around,
Gonna keep on a smokin, keep on a jokin,
Gonna build a brand-new world...."

Powerful song...and then with what, knowing Lightfoot's

professionalism, had to be complete coincidence of similar-

sounding two lines of verse is all in:

'Keepin' On Yearnin': (The

intended song for Q175 superceded by Linda's Anything for Love

winning ambig)

Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on joking

Gotta keep moving around
'Keepin' On Yearnin'

~gl lyrics per

Wayne Francis web-site- Lightfoot!

- wow, of course coincidence, there are only SO many

permutations, well, (n! / ...); OK I'll stop - of the common-

usage Collegiate Webster's Paperback 1" thick

80,000-odd word English Language - though

I hear we are up to 3,000,000 words per

Microsoft I believe in the complete unabridged

English Language INCUDING idioms, phrases, SLANG, and tech field

vernacular - my God that one could take 2.5 million of the 3

alone lol.... AND - It is, I understand, common practice

and considered in the profession of songwriting , common usage

passages from Public Domain songs within a copywrited song to be

completely acceptable and allowed by both letter and intent of

law, and in -profession norms and stds, isit not ?...

songwriters?
This not a controversy at all, and especially

, because I am going SOLELY my memory on the Joan

Baez song COVER of the
Protest Song of (to me) unknown origin. And tonight, my memory

has proven to be a thing far from science ...lol...even so, lol

*Dawn Minstrel Footnote per above, re: "Hairy Eyeball" Physics

vernacular lol
(accepted tech term in physics, right Dawn Minstrel ? lol.. but

he, our writer/singer of the beautiful video/song of his

"Laurianni" sp? - in the Thread on Dylans cover of INSTC , well

he PM'd me and pensively , humbly mentioned - he's a- PhD in

Physics. strong medicine to keep under your hat - admirable -

but was it Particle Phyics or PLASMA Dawn Minstrel ? - I'll PM

him... he is very humble in this, but he's involved in some major

Plasma flow Physics pure Research and is on to something

there...)

So, this non-linear relationship of subjects, with in great part

intentions of "talking shop" wiht Linda, also contained enough

general lyrics thoughts, and some personal "lyrics-related

history all the way back to the 70's, and sundery things are hope

were of suffient interest to post for this thread's readership.

Hoever, there was another major motivation = the original

compound post I'd written was over 17000 characters, a new record

even for me in corfid anyway, :rolleyes: , and even cutting it in

half would not permit sending THIS 'part 2', arguably suitable

for a PM perhaps more than a post, would have hit a further

maddening wall I've not the energy for: PM's must be 5,000

character max... so this '2nd part' would have been further cut

and dited coherently into 2 PM's to Linda, and really, the only

"Linda-pertinent' shop-talk per se was less than 1/2 of this

post. So, I hope it wasof some interest to some ppl, and of some

use to you, Linda, on lyrics thoughts in general. Thanks for

indulging my un-magnificent outpouring of stuff, and in a fashion

that would drive me crazy tonight between PM's and posts, also

seperating all the marginally at times, but still related

material. A new set of 5-10 song clues will be posted ASAP a bit

later today on Friday, as its 5:45 AM here and I can't keep going

on this more now. What magnificent lyrics of Gordon's, allways

interesting to me to talk in almost an fashion respectfully of

his work. :headbang: :headbang: :biggrin: :rolleyes: pheww ! "I am talked-out, back to BIZ" - Next post !

:)

Next: 5 new Q's/Clue's in next post !

Oh, Linda

10-18-2008, 10:15 PM

Note to Linda

-specific- MULTIPLE THEMES U HAVE NOTICED

sounds like fodder for themes-based lyrics if one should sorta

play-out -

Not sure if this is off thread (I'm going with the 'and more' part of your thread title), but worth noting would be the themes of moonbeans and sunbeams...

"Moonbeam(s)" appears three times: once in East of Midnight (The road is paved with moonbeams, there are faces that I knew ~GL); once in Now and Then (Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dancing on the floor ~GL) and again in No Mistake About It (She's the shine in every moonbeam~GL). "Sunbeams" appears in The Pony Man (and we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky~GL). Many other references to the sun and the moon....I'm finding all of this quite fascinating....

I must say that your Fun Quizzers thread you've got going has made me take a much closer look (and listen!) at each song's words and meaning, making me realize all the more how truly extraordinary Gordon's songwriting is. I can't think of anyone who's done it better, and for as long as he has, with such lasting meaning and impact. I really can't.

Not sure if this is off thread (I'm going with the 'and more' part of your thread title), but worth noting would be the themes of moonbeans and sunbeams...

"Moonbeam(s)" appears three times: once in East of Midnight (The road is paved with moonbeams, there are faces that I knew ~GL); once in Now and Then (Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dancing on the floor ~GL) and again in No Mistake About It (She's the shine in every moonbeam~GL). "Sunbeams" appears in The Pony Man (and we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky~GL). Many other references to the sun and the moon....I'm finding all of this quite fascinating....

Roger all the above Linda; notably the SAME/SIMILAR impact that reviweing hundreds of his songs day and night while...gettng...beter...and having a blast ! - his music has been a a large part of my life's soundtrack starting with my fist girlfrend when I was 14; she's an att'y now in Ohio, and when that tender age I bought Sundown. I grew entranced with GL with album immediately, had been listening to Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, etc., and had only recenlty gotten into JT and Fire n Rain album. That caused me to look farther into a relatively tight genre at the time - pop-quality melodically interesting, singer-songwriters who could REALLY SING folk with a GOOD voice; meaningful lyrics (at 14, many I would not appreciate for years, and in cases decades to come) and have the "pop" -gasp' element of richly produced (not 2 much) of orchestrations and textures /tapestries/stand-outs of the Carole King.JT/Gordon/J Croce/John Prine/Carly Simon crowd that "all had a friend" - except that seemingly -a loner, who's music absolutely mystified me......Gordon's of course..... I bought it for the major cruising-catchy song Sundown B4 I really knew what he was/did, and after the LP, was hooked for life, 36 years of listening non-stop to same and each new album over and over. Spent a life time trying to broaden my pallette of music, and find other artists LIKE Gord, COULD not DO IT.

If Gord could have cranked out an album every 6 months I never would have needed to buy anything else with tomato-picking money and lawn mowing $ 2. Took me 'bout a week for album money.....and I'd keep looking in folk for anyone whocould even hold a canfle - and in the sum total of factors - voice/lyrics/compositional ability/formal training/orchestration in those big old Koss 3 pound environment chamber headphones - man I was GONE on his music.... then I learned its therapuetic value - broke up with my first serious (as far as 16 can b serious.llol) girlfriend.

It was then I learned of what he could help me get thru - and he has ever since in all event-crashes possible in life and love, lost loved ones, starting to eye anew, blessed distraction from major medical can't move for 3 months at a time....his music was my strongest "medicine" while in pain....still is....these are all oft spoken words in greater part...arguably cliches...but who can fault the truth ? His music/voice/orchestral arrangments - all formally trained in him at Westlake College, that TEXTURE and the lyrcial TAPESTRY - all said a thousand times of him and I'll say them 1001'st time each one...Its like HEARING MYSELF THINK when I listen to him...that elusive "everyman" quality in him as one pundit aptly described...that made him instantly identifiable with...but also enough of mystery - esoteric songs...metaphor and allegory,

and then his real-life explits impressed the cr** out ofme - the 600 mile sub-arctic sea-kayak and canoeing treks, the backpacking, things I KNOW the character and body strength it takes to do...made him more real for me..yet even more of an iconic legend in my own youg mind.... my Dad, now passed, tookk me on backpacks/canoe trips/wilderness winter treks.etc. age 14 - 18 and taught me my love of maps..

.point is i identified with an allready incredible songwriter even further when I learned of his wilderness exploits - notably the 6-800 mile 60degree + latitude rowing expeditions for months.... and i IMAGINED HIS personal exploits in shall we say other areas as famous and rich and women going gaga over him and all; lol..well in the young mind of a 14 - 18 yr old, I tried hard to even look like him, grew my beard in High School - almost caused a riot with Admin but parents backed me up... High-5 DAD!

but I still listened to his music moreover love LOST...lol.....so then when I got maried at 23 the personal naivete-based idol turned as did I into an adult and real person 4 me, and admiree him all the more ever since...seeing as how he stopped drinking and was re-building his life +/- 2 years from the year I got married and transformed from an adverturing.travelling/try ALMOST almost anythin once if legal....but naive young man, into a ethics-based family man and husband who took his vows seriously...and had our daughter.....continued college for years to come.....kept listening, each year hearing something more..... I can still put the Sundown CD on now at 50 , and feel the 14 -yr old wonder in my ears and mind over this legend who's music is so unique HE DEFINES HIS OWN GENRE.

Fortunately she and I both loved his music (good thing..lol) for the 29 more year she lived ) and now his music soothes my mourning side, and i know I'll pick myself up, dust myself off, and start myself all over again (sound lie a song ?lol) - and I'll continue to be a man as Dad said, my Son. :) . And ole Gord'll still be singing the soundtrack in the background...while I work like a soul inspired again...take a deep breath....and start all over again..... :)

. I have somewhat broadened my musical pallete ovew the years, but primarily 'cause I THOUGHT it was unheathy to listen exclusively to one artist. Still likely is. SO I listen to others, but wait like a dentist's drill til its over, and Gord is back in the CD-tray :) and now on the PC and Laptop....and I really love making "mood/theme !!!" CD's custom burn..like so many corfidites do... Say , What of one with birds...naw I 'spect the concept you initially thought would make a good one "critters" - woulld encompass birds as well. What a great concept. !

and it makes your thread make even more natural sense.... Your thread will go far grasshopper...lol....my thread is probably living out its natural lifetime....500 posts vs 5000 views 10:1 ration , by looking at the norm, is a common ratio, but extremely fortunate totals - not from a competititve POV, at all, but rather, from a "Iam really glad they are enjoying it" level, with that yardstick !
Keep up the excellent thread - you've done the equivalent of producing a TV hit that has its strength in diversity of setting - like for example stargate. They can have a new "theme" every weak - with a central focus - the gate and the team (GL here in your thread). I don't watch stargate - but my son-in-law does... and when I watch it with him - I realize that is their forte ! My concept has inherant limitations on the other hand - the number of songs in his body of work formost and fist ....(despite my sneeking my favourite songs back in more than once..lol)-

actually not intentionally - but hearing the songs in my head to extract the clue portions - now formally checking them B4 I post new Clues....lol...they still come from my head initially- so inherantly my favourites re-appear....I have to forcibly listen in my mind to the UA period, and the '79- '89 period....and then I learn new ways to appreciate a period I liked less is all.

Congrats in your concept. Spin the dial say to....wind next week, and you have an all new game,,EXCELLLENT. I am glad if this thread felt like any sort of springboard. Collectively, I really think we are adding(I hope) to the enjoyment through the players efforts far more so than our own, but a measureable impact 2 enjoyment has been made IMO - I hope. I think so. Roger all the above Houston, ! now..back to biz.... 6! new song clues = 5 plus a rarity again.
