thx for playing, steve
not looking for mainstream (there's tons of rarities on the list) but am looking for reference in lyrics...(Song for Stephen Foster) is wonderful but no go

note: Beautiful (Song for Char) also doesn't not qualify;)

IC - OK :p just for clarity, I did not mean mainstream as in you were looking for mainstream songs, bur rather classically envisioned answer-types - which I knew going in (song name)(for yayda y yad ya) was not. s'ok- worth a shot and I like to stop in a new shop of a friend.

Have I re-vived the old fun monster of GAMES in corfid with lyrics ? All of A sudden - we have like 5 or something threads on quizzers - though they may not say that... - I think its fun - 's why I started 'mine' ? We havn't done these in over 2 years - 3 almost by my rekining' :biggrin: :headbang: :biggrin:

29 men?

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

so, what's the significance????

lol, just kiddin....wow, very nice work, Patti:)


wonder how many of these are real folks from Gord's life

would be interesting to have faces to go with the names

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

How about Sundown?

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

How about 'Daddy' from Cherokee Bend?

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

Mama said, nope ;) ...could always expand the scope (Son, etc)

hmmm, Sundown...looks like a name/proper noun to me, thanks

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

I can't remember the name myself. But I remember it was something like "Then I'll take it home to Mollie". It might have been the song that goes "Blackfall the Daddy-O, There's Whiskey In The Jar".

It seems like there are actually two songs that mention the name Mollie. I'll give them a listen and then post back in here. ;)

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

... :rolleyes:

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

I really was thinking more along the lines of significance, jj.
Significant son of the significant father...and mother.

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

good stuff, patti:) so we add Daddy, Mama and Son, eh?

hey folks, if Sundown works, then how about Harmony?

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

That could be good.

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
 

I thought 'knotty pine' might be also along the same lines but is more an example of personification and/or an anthropomorphism (looked up)
