Name that Tune

[Tom Strange]

from your clues waysider you've got the right band... so I'm giving you all the next stanza:

(quietly)

My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about

He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law

And on sundays i elude the 'eyes' and hop the turbine freight

To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits.

(excitedly)

Jump to the ground

As the turbo slows to cross the borderline

Run like the wind,

As excitement shivers up and down my spine

Down in his barn

My uncle preserved for me, an old machine ---

For fifty-odd years

To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

It's one of those songs that is always very dangerous for me to listen to while on the freeway... it sucks you right in...

[wasway]

sorry I went to Florida

Its Geddy and the boys

and this

is a big Red Barchetta

Clearly not the 50 year old one that the boys were singing about, but pretty none-the-less

Go ahead Waysider... you know you knew it

[waysider]

I only knew it was Rush and had no idea on the title.

That would mean you have the next one.

[wasway]

OK

This one is gonna be tough..because the name of the Band that sang it is paramount..not the singer, but the Band

Are you a figment of my imagination...

Or am I one of yours?

.............

Are you watching me now?

Your eyes are like fingers

They're touching my body

And arousing my soul

Riding the passion arising inside me

How high can I go?

You're comin' with me girl, I'm gonna show you how

When it's scarey, don't look down

[Ca_dreaming]

Kris Kirstoferson sang this in the 80's verion of a Star Is Born

[wasway]

Your on the right track Ca... but it was mid 70's... Kris was the singer, but the name of the band and the name of the song is what I'm lookin for.

1976-the Speedway-Watch Closely Now

[wasway]

Yup

That was the world Famous John Norman Howard Speedway

your turn Ca

[Ca_dreaming]

What made you think of that song, wasway? I only knew it because of the movie it was in. Just wondering????

Next Clue is:

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,

quaint little villages here and there,

you're sure to fall in love ......

If you like the taste of a lobster stew

served by a window with an ocean view,

you're sure to fall in love .........

Winding roads that seem to beckon you.

Miles of green beneath the skies of blue.

Church bells chimin' on a sunday morn

remind you of the town where you were born.

[waysider]

no idea. doesn't sound familiar.

[Tom Strange]

you got me, too! ...maybe GSG knows this one... :)

[wasway]

I know, I think, but I've been a bit of a hog lately hog lately.. so I'll wait a bit..

Oh Ca,

I was watching Watching "The Rose" the other night and it reminded me of " a Star is born" so I listened to the Soundtrack while I was installing Vista on my laptop

[pawnbroker]

Old Cape Cod~~

Bette Midler

(just the other night I told Sharon to get into the kitchen and rattle them pots and pans.... )

[Ca_dreaming]

Absolutely, Pawnbroker, nice tune.

...and how'd that work out? care to share on the vista thread down in the geek forum?

...and how'd that work out? care to share on the vista thread down in the geek forum?

Where is the geek forum? I am testing Utlimate on this machine and Business on the laptop.. the OS itself is impressive..I have found a lot of XP software to be incompatabile The AERO video is pretty cool.. Media Center on Ultimate is pretty good..although there are faster DVD converter/burners out there. The TV Guide was accurate for my cable company, and timed recording works well. The installs when very well...activation and Genuine Microsoft verification for both was seemless. I am set up to do unattended install from the server for the business version as that will be primarily installing.. not needing to enter the key until activating is a nice touch.. M$ sent me 2 packages the all-in-one OEM DVD and the VLV for Business.

[Ca_dreaming]

That was totally Greek to me!!!!!! Do you have to be a Geek to understand it??????

[sharon]

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

[Ca_dreaming]

And they were singing Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie.

Don McClean singing Starry, Starry Night.

[sharon]

close but no cigar

[Siouxzahn]

Vincent, by Don McLean?

[sharon]

[Siouxzahn]

All right!

Here's one:

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.

Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?

[Tom Strange]

I have no clue Siouxzahn... maybe a couple of more lines?

[Siouxzahn]

Sure Tom, coming right up.

And if you'd 'a took to me like

Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
