  1. Well, two days without a guess. I think we need another clue, Belle. George
  2. Maybe she meant "Roller Boogie." Linda Blair was really looking cute back then. Of course, Raquel Welch in "Kansas City Bombers" was fine, too! George
  3. No.. Joey Levine's name is on the music. I just don't know if he was in Reunion. You're up, Belle. George
  4. Right, though I think of it as being by Reunion. Was Joey Levine the lead singer? George
  5. I wonder if concerns about plagiarism would keep TWI from pushing a copyright suit. Can you honestly say that PFAL is TWI's, when most of it came from other people? George
  6. "Once upon a Time in America"? George
  7. Try this one (it's a lot more recent): B.B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers George
  8. It was "I Wonder Why" by Dion and the Belmonts. I think that this is the epitome of doo-wop, surpassing "Blue Moon," "Get a Job," and even "Mr. Bass Man." I Wonder Why George
  9. I guess I missed all that a year ago, Belle. From the thread you linked, it seems that LTS has gotten a lot bolder in its stance on PFAL. As far as the copyright business is concerned, I can see how LTS might be able to sell PFAL outside the States, but it still should be illegal in the US. And yes, Jim, the copyright was on the tapes of PFAL. George
  10. When I was in graduate school, I was a teaching assistant for one of the freshman chemistry classes. At the end of every semester, I would speak with the instructor about individual grades, and if someone was just below a cut-off, I would usually give a good reason to move the person up. And the instructor would do so. One semester, I had a student with a 69.0 average. The cut-off for a C was 70. The instructor was surprised that I didn't try to move this student up, but I had good reasons: the pupil did none of the homework, rarely showed up for class, and -- obviously -- didn't study. This person had expressed a desire to be a science teacher. Hopefully, I was able to change that. George
  11. Indeed. Does "Rural Free Delivery" just mean the same thing as "postman brings mail to your home"? (As opposed to, I imagine, going to the post office to get it.) George
  12. Sorry, Trefor. No bells ringing here. :(--> George
  13. No doo-wop fans out there? --> Here's (almost) the rest of the song: When you're with me I'm sure you're always true When I'm away I wonder what you do If no one gets it by this evening, I'll try another song. George
  14. Interesting stuff. Thanks, Jim. George
  15. I didn't either, until I checked IMDB. The tune was quite recognizable, though. George
  16. I believe the Western was "The Stupendous Six" or "The Exquisite Eight" (or something in between). ;)--> And I KNOW it was Goober doing the impression. It just wasn't a James Cagney impression (as hiway admitted). George
  17. Almost simultaneously with seeing Belle's thread on an Internet transcription of PFAL, I received a FAX from a friend of mine in Florida who ordered a DVD set of PFAL from "The Belizean BRC." Interestingly, they list their address as P.O. Box 244, Dangriga, Belize, but also as P.O. Box 38405, Germantown, TN! I can't find anything about this group on the Internet, but they obviously do have DVD'd of PFAL for distribution. They even have "green cards"! A"minimum donation" of $150 is required for the tapes. It begs the question, Who actually has the copyright for PFAL? Did TWI let it lapse? George
  18. I wouldn't choose a lyric that contained the title, now would I? George
  19. Interesting, because this song does share some of the lyrics with my song, but the one I'm quoting is not "I Don't Know Why I Love You" (by anyone). Here are some lyrics from another verse of the song: "I told my friends That we would never part They often said That you would break my heart" George
