[geodeticman.5]

Joveski, I just realized that the comment you'd made:

Day before yesterday?

By virtue of the capitalized "Day" - had to be a blunder of mine; I thought you were making a fun joke about the wait on answers, new questions, etc, since Labour Day really, and I quoted you and commented as though you were jokin' around....duhhh on my part.

I am embarrased to say that obviously looks like a song title, sorry, what threw me was I didn't see the usual reference to a Q# and clue..... but by that point it was obvious to all that only one question remained - Q122 - and again I'm embarrased to say I do not recognize the song you mentioned. I tried looking in Wayne's World: Lightfoot! - didn't see it, is it a rarity, early pre-UA, or in-concert-only ? I can't place it. Could have been a viable response; I'm sorry. Lemme know, if only for my learning a new song, or one I'd forgotten. If a viable response - I'll make certain mention of it.

Well, anyway, Char got the song I'd intended, we're on a new set of Q's, thanks for posting two; and I'll address that in a new post.

Thanks for being such a loyal player, Joveski !

[geodeticman.5]

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" . !!!

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.

- 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 ),
So your song title guess for B1, as:
Fast Freight, is decided to be
A CORRECT ANSWER !

OK ! THAT LEAVES Q's133,134,135,& 136 ! Q's 137, 138, B1, and B2 ARE DONE !

(Thank you out there BTW to my EXTREMELY kind and generous friend who gifted me this CANATAL Records rarity, and the others as well, & signed !!!!!!)

[geodeticman.5]

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 !

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 !

[Dave, Melbourne,Australia]

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 , 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.

[geodeticman.5]

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.

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 ?)

Thanks again , and for giving me the oppurtunity to runneth at the mouth !

[geodeticman.5]

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".

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 !

In the Lightfoot Geography section of 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...
lol

I was caught drifting, disappearing from the land
Whitecaps in profusion all around me
But somehow in your eyes I found
The strength to sail upon that raging sea
