Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
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  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'

Oh silly me, I should have checked your last list. Maybe a dead end is correct... 
Thanks for clarifying this jj.

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