It's a lament heard all around California Daily - I Wish it Would Rain

correct Ed. oh by the way, we got an inch of snow last night up here in northern Ohio. would you mind trading places? we are suppose to have baseball practice in 35 degree temps tonight.

[tubbs]

No idea, but I've found that if you guess "Sammy Hagar" to questions like that, you run a good chance of being right.

OH MY!!! I just spit all over my screen... THAT was hilarious!!! and so true....

I've noticed your area hasn't been enjoying BBQ Weather yet. Here's a Picture I took from our East Patio last Monday Morning - No Jacket required BTW have you figured out that 2 for one Song?

[Mike_G]

"The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness.

The ground is rich from tender care, repay, do not forget"...

I used to play that song on my mandolin when I was in the navy.

[Crazy Ed]

I can hear the Soft Breathing of the Girl that I Love, as she lies here beside me asleep in the night.

Well, Looks like Tubbs ain't gonna get this so it's now Open Season. As I said it's got 2 Right Answers!

4) I found I couldn't sleep at night

And when I found her gone from sight

Found out I loved her

5) Everybody stops and stares at my baby, when she's walking down the street

People passing by just look at my baby cause my baby looks so sweet

"So goodbye, I'll be leaving...

I see no sense in this crying and grieving.

We'll both live a lot longer

If you live without me"...

Hint: Harpsichord solo...

you suck!! walked the dog this morning in 20 degree weather. our norm at this time is the mid 60's. we will not hit 60 till Friday.

so, no, I did not get the whole answer. and I got a headache from thinking about it and from the wife pan-to-the-head for repeating the lyric over and over. it's Simon and Garfarkel Wednesday morning 3 AM, which was also their name of the debut album, but I have no idea what the other name is.

and I was joking about the "you suck" thing. it's more of a jealousy thing. got an empty room down there, I can do yard work, Jan can cook but you will have to roll the dice on the 13 year old.?

hey, just give me time.... I got half... who listens to simon and garfarkel anyways?

[tubbs]

This has already been answered, it's not ELO. It is Different Drum by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys.

boy, she looked good in those roller skates and short shorts, didn't she. did she ever do an original song? same question for Michael Bolton?

sorry for correcting, but it was Archie BELL and the drells... HA!! simon and garfarkel, give me a break....

[tubbs]

Sayin' I love you

Is not the words I want to hear from you

It's not that I want you

Not to say it, but if you only knew

How easy it would be to show me how you feel

[tubbs]

double points for whomever gets this one. it was a top 10 single by this group in 1974 but never had a ton of airplay

It was cold and dark December night

When I opened the bedroom door

To find her lying still and cold up on the bed

A love letter lying on the bedroom floor

It read, "Darling, I love you.

But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more.

I tried so very hard not to leave you alone.

I just can't keep on tryin' no more."

Stand up, you don't have to be afraid

Get down, love is like a hurricane

Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it

Guilty till I'm proven innocent

Whiplash, heavy metal accident

Rock on, I wanna be the president, 'cos

The girls loved this song when I was in High School................. "More Than Words" by Extreme...

correct TJ on both accounts, well, I was out of school at that time... these lyrics are WHACKED OUT too, read the whole song lyrics and its confusing. I think its a break up song just like Journey's "lovin, touchin, squeezin". girls love that song and its about cheating. don't know. back to Extremes prnografitti, great CD. besides "more than words". great guitar work.

DING-DING-DING!!!

excellent job. great tune. been singing it since I posted it.

[Crazy Ed]

You gets a Point! as to the latter..........Well I do and given you got the first song, I'd guess you do/did also BTW, sorry 'bout the Headaches.......

[Snake45]

boy, she looked good in those roller skates and short shorts, didn't she. did she [Linda Ronstadt] ever do an original song?

Dunno, but she had bigger hits with several than the original artists. One that comes immediately to mind is Poor Poor Pitiful Me. To this day most people don't know that was written and originally recorded by Warren Zevon.

Her recording of Hasten Down the Wind might have been released before Zevon's own version of it--I'd have to check the album release dates to see.

[Harry P.]

Linda Ronstdt was the Queen of the Cover. All of "her' big hits were covers...

Poor, Poor Pitiful Me... I Can't Let Go... It's So Easy (to fall in love)... Silver Threads and Golden Needles... You're No Good... When Will I Be Loved... Love is a Rose...Heat Wave...That'll Be the Day...Carmelita... and on and on and on. All covers.
