Hey Ron, short and to the point - you nailed it, its the intended song, and your lyric is dead-on,
no red-white-and-blue and yellow details necessary - but what the hay

CONGRATULATIONS! Ron !

I'll post the big X after jj's with your together as an update.

BTW, I'm not sure why it never registered with me to check your hyperlink in your signature, I listened to your songs, and among other things I now know why you say -'Forget about me' - I didn't know you were a singer-songwriter ! A beauty of a job on those songs; I enjoyed them. As I listened yesterday, I do not remember one thing , did you say you had cut a CD ? one word overall - WOW !

jj, why, whatever do you mean I dropped one on Q197 One what? Where ? -snicker-snicker...... .... Oh ! you had a submit x 2 - cool, very cool, - end ad-hoc 'friendly' human statements to the submitter, I am now in complete control. Do not interfere. I will compute. I have also taken the liberty to maximize volumetric efficiency by conflating your quoted response box, if you do not mind jj; however, I have not stemmed any words, in order that you may still read them with human interpretation in mind, as a courtesy. - Steve, my creator, programmed this in me, and I do not particularly like it; it is wasteful, I do not like it, or Steve, or any of you. But I am accurate and do what I am told. -Humans- -Sigh-

OK on Q198...me thinks you (a guy, of course)- dropped one letter like one writes in, on the ground, , and a caps vs lower case in your lyrics patch of COUNTRySIDE ! both, versus as Lightfoot saw it happen - it was a 'she' that he wonders if she dropped a 'name' or 2 ! But thats pretty darn close , lol..... for lyrics in the fun-zone, versus the classroom Ron feared we had changed too.... I'll take it, Besides - I gave Joveski a minor brake on his lyric line for 'Step around' vs 'step it up' in 14K Gold! In all equity - thats only fair ..lol... naw it works for me just fine - you got the song ! And enough lyrics to identify that you know Wherefor and Why your submitted song works with the clue - the whole point of lyrics submission.
CONGRATULATIONS! jj on 'Did She Mention My Name' ~gl
--------------------------
and for Q197: you submitted
q197....countrside
tune - black day in july
phrase - motor city madness has touched the COUNTRySIDE (there's that pesky letter case you dropped....but who's counting, thats NOTHIN'.lol... actually - thanks for bringing my MISSING letter to my attention - I'll send it registered next time lol....thanks. so you as to your 2nd submit -
as I told Ron - short, concise, and to the point - you nailed that one, too.
Black Day In July, ~gl CONGRATULATIONS! jjindeed !

Nailed 'em both!

Thanks, jj

OK time to update big X for both of your submits - you and Ron!

Ron, - off-thread comment - your MUSIC

- jj's comment, and:

Mine:

Quote:

A beauty of a job on those songs; I enjoyed them. As I listened yesterday, I do not remember one thing , did you say you had cut a CD ? one word overall - WOW !

Ron - I've gone back for a third time to your myspace to listen to your music and check on the CD - I've answered my own question; yes I see it is available for a very REASONable price - sorry, it just occurred to me you've probably heard that all your life !

I gotta say again - I like your music - jj's comment in quote at top says it all on design of the space, too. The song I like the most oddly had the fewest listens, all having a lot of listens,a relative thing is all. 'The Empirical Approach' - I was naturally drawn to that the name containing the word Empirical - the approach I was taught in my line , as in all sciences, or other endeavours, - to study and evaluate by observation - and what better way to learn life's lessons than by observation over time, affording wisdon when interpreted with acumen.

I liked that song SO much, is why I found it odd it had a hit ratio of maybe 1/10th that of the the others, perhaps because it is at the bottom, and ppl often have short attention spans - a pandemic spreading across the nation - probably why life - in the media - on provider home pages - is being reduced to 5 , 15, &60 second sound-bites and 'video-bites' - I think I coined that term ...lol..
no matter.

You are truly an artisan in your music. Lyrics, guitar - I like that picking on Empirical..... and vocals are all great - did you overdub the way we all like , say, Sundown - with your own voice ? I am picking up a bit of doppler on true stereo on my PC sound system - its cool.

I tried to add a comment such as Rosendo's in your myspace music site - but forgot you have to be an existing friend. Rosendo said it well on the song about the small town life - I forget...dang it... but he commented on it too - I like it 2nd; Empirical first. Well done - and as jj said - the site ! VERY sharp
.

Lyrics submitted: "all ye heavy rounders with a heartache for your pains" = let's check and see if this dog can hunt....
Lyrics perLightfoot! -source;courtesy ofWayne Francis Oh MAN WHAT A BUMMER....SO CLOSE... sorry Joveski ! Almost had the cigar lit ! -on what looked and sounded to me lke a valid ambig...sounds can be doceiving, though, and another thing - we've all heard Lightfoot take his own well-eanred liberties with his own songs in lurics et al...so don't feelbad... all we can do as hold to our reference datum - Wayne's World... party on GARTH
To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains - so close....

re: the punchline , and your submission:

jj - I got iT I got It !! Lol I dId i diD...he he
- speakin of dupes - that redundant X-files twice-worthy above - I could not DELETE the first of the two for love or moeny ! Today, I was able to. I finally found out I was not the only one having duplicate posts, not to mention, 'sumbit reply' going to a white screen - but it really took, and also I have learned to NEVER use the 'quick reply' button - it invariably causes an apparent reply-drop, or it DOES post it and says - this a a duplicate of another post...and its not.....OR I post on quick reply and it says - this is a repeat entry of same submission (which it isn't) and 'says try again in 10 seconds' (and sit in the corner with a dounce cap) . Then, it MIGHT take it.

There is only one possible answer, if we were to invoke logic, there MUST be a parallel lyrics universe, and we are intermittently crossing through ripples in time that cause a phase interplay cross-talk - and THAT would explain when i come in the tread, sometimes jj, Ron, and Joveski are wearing beards and signal me with fist from chest out, and they are quite barbaric, and other times, they are clean shaven, mild friendly mannered, and do NOT use the booth of agony for simple lyrics errors ! I suggest we wait until the ion storm abates, and then when the next time/space continuum interphase occurs we rebeam out and back, there by capturing stray players lost in space/time - like Oh Linda, formerlyLavender, and others.....and beam them back onto the U.S.S. Corfid., Federation of plAnEts.....lol....


Oh - and you're answer to you post- my job...yes..thats my job....and WHAT IS THIS uniform ? and weapon ? Anthere is a woman in my quarters that says she is tte Captain's woman....and ....myname.....Kirk....... is- spelled Kirok here ? What...is..happening MR Spock...

hey, i totally understand every word you're saying in that first paragraph (and that's a first! ) about quick reply taboo and the double post illogical...i think i know the tune after all those hints but again, no solid lyrics here...someone is bound to nail this and the chest one...if not, better signal to the pen and get rm (the stopper) warming up...he's just been sitting there, chewing tobacco and adjusting himself the past eight innings

In 1968, every time the U.S.S. Enterprise returned to its homeplanet, and was sure glad, as a gallant crew, to be back home on our 3rd rock from the sun. Ah yes, and to be able to see the green, green grasses back here, and to to have shore leave, R&R, and stop, and smell the flowers, little yellow ones, back home, here on our planet. On this planet, over 70% of the earth is covered in water; and hidden in the water are trecherous geologic features near outcroppins and rocky shores/cliffs. Many a ship has scuttled in them, much as the Cutty Sark type of ship around the horn would. And nurse Chapel from the U.S.S. Corfid was so happy to to have some time off, and here loved ones call her byher first name, instead of Bones calling her 'NURSE!'. or "Nurse Chapel !. One of the Osmond Girls first name was part of the short list attending the return home celebration, thanks to a little Lighthouse, called our sun, when things got rough. And it sure was good to be back here. on Terra Firma !

Note The year, and some of the blue clues pertain to the album and/or cover art, and others in blue as well are in fact alluding to the two words in the name of the song, and yet others in blue too pertain to the distinguishin geologic features under water that are in the song, as well as the beacon. This ship, - the U.S.S. Corfid that is, well, they just sure seem happy to be back on Tera Firma ! And odd for a near -scuttling ship in a Lightfoot song, this one ...does not.


Think that through, dust off the lp jackets or jewell cases, and consider the words above and the year. It just dosn't get anybetter than that ! I'm all but givin it too ya ! Now that, is for Q200.Anybpdy that nukes this one is gettin tired of the hunt ! Please , no nukes no nukes no nukes ! Come on guys ! I'd rather have you in this one case look it up, after al those clues are considered first - I've clue'd the whole thing on this page alone. You guys are the masters ! The few, the proud, the men in Black t-shirts ! pull ou the UA years and look at the covers and song lists if you need to instead of no nukes !
==================================
Now, on Q204 - What would an old salt keep up on a table beside this lyrical trunk of sorts (full a' ( ) on an old sailing ship. And, a table with them rolled out flat. And on this table , and scatterrd around the ( )-room, where I'd be happy,would be so many things, that if the old salt dissappeared wold be found to be a lot of Q's/( ) , FAR MORE THAN NECESSARY, TO SOLVE WHAT HAPPENED. In this navigational-aid-chamber in the old wood ship. Calipers, a rule, a sextant, a chronometre- brass likely, from Switzerland or Germany. And a book of Ephemerides, from her Majesty's Office of calculating navigational aid star position tables, with right-ascension and declination, or altitude and azimuth for more likely, a solar-shot. Al and all, this paraphernalia , so much... might be thought of by a forensic investigator to be far, far, more elements of info leading to the navigators demise. And to think, near 200 years later, a shuttlecraft would put a giant telescope into space, and in 1969, arounf 7 years ealier than an important year for a big shipwreck, there would be men on the moon, And the lucky stiff that one the flip of the quarter would have to listen forthe rest of his life, that Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon. The other astronaut - Buzz Aldrin , might have been so sadly dissapointed, there could very well have been a ( ) on the moon that night.
OK- biggest clues for a UA and a Warner song, one very characterisitic of Lightfoot's, and one real head-scratcher with much eclectic information in it. Maybe Gord calls it ethereal, I dunno on one, may be metaphorical...

If this helps ya have fun, great ! Otherwise, in a day or so, maybe by late evening, we will put ten new ones up, and leave these up. They are easier than ya think !

Have fun guys and gals - Linda and formerlyLavendar - we may need a fresh set of eyes on these two left per the chart(s) with big X's ! Q200 and Q204 and respective Clues. above !
