MaryAnne

Howdy Smith! Welcome to HNet! Glad you decided to de-lurk and join in on the fun!

I also concur! Happy Birthday Hoss!

Going back to 1992 for this one... What About Your Friends? - TLC

I'm gonna guess Joshua. But I'm not betting any manure on that... LOL

Roger, I will see your load of manure and up you a tractor, barn and fifty bales of hay for C) Sweetwater County.

Not only did the Allman's have a song about Jessica they also sang about... Melissa - The Allman Brothers Band (Tho', sometimes this song is called "Sweet Melissa" so I may be cheatin' just a bit here... LOL)

Not a one hit wonder (try multi hit wonder!) Things We Said Today - The Beatles Oh, I kinda like the idea of Diana Rigg playin' my part... That song by The Who was new to me too. I only know one other song with a variation of "MaryAnne" for the title, and I would post the link but HNet is now allowing me to do so in this post for some reason. I mean, really c'mon HNet (C'mon, Marianne... LOL)

One hit wonder from 1969... More Today Than Yesterday - The Spiral Starecase LOL. Now that was a great (and new to me) Ray Charles song.

Tightrope - Stevie Ray Vaughan

More Than a Feeling - Boston It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling) When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away Gee, I really like the name they use in this song....

If I remember right from the same book you read that in, Hoss, my guess is Angela Lansbury.

Somewhere amongst the 168,000 posts in this forum is a birthday thread for Val. I'm sure of it. But alas! I cannot find it, so I'm starting a new one. I know we don't see much of you now, Val, but you're still thought of. Hope you have a great day! How 'bout some chocolate cheesecake to celebrate? Boy that looks good all nice and big and detailed like that.... YUM... Khee!

Now all ya need is Boss and Rosco to ride the bike on the WB back lot... Great job, CD! You are truly amazing and crafty with what you come up with with these bikes! Love seeing your threads.

One from ol' Waylon... This Time - Waylon Jennings

Hi there! Big Time - Peter Gabriel

From 1959... Mr. Blue - The Fleetwoods

Jerry's Ode to the Automobeeele.... Lord Mr. Ford - Jerry Reed

I can't belive I hadn't posted this one yet. LOL Came up in my shuffle of songs on iTunes here. Lowdown - Boz Scaggs

Hi Mo! Welcome to HNet! I saw your other post too. The reason they don't show right away is because new members are on moderated status for their first 10 posts or until a moderator changes the status. I've changed your status so your posts will show now.

And after all those lonely weekends (four years in fact) you too would be... Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton (There's a quasi remake of this song by Akon which uses a sped up Chipmunks style version to open the song. I'm not posting the link to it because it, in a word, sucks.)

And after two years there, you too would be cryin' those... Lonely Teardrops - Jackie Wilson (from 1958 )

Hey There Lonely Girl - Eddie Holman

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN! I hope I got a big enough cake to go around...

Speaking of the Beatles, one of their influences was the late, great Roy Orbison... Only the Lonely - Roy Orbison

Take heart, CD. I don't even know who the heck Willow Smith is. LOL Good music will always endure. Music produced today, only time will tell whether it's truly good or not. LOL Believe me, there's a lot of modern music that I just cannot stand to listen to. And with listening to it on the radio at work where they play the SAME songs over and over, day in and day out - makes me even less affable to most of it. There is modern stuff I like but I find most of it is the stuff that isn't played on the 'adult contemporary' format, or is currently burning up the charts. Like Hoss, I listen to a lot of different styles, genres and eras of music (which is why I enjoy taking part in the musical chairs thread LOL). From the 30s through today. Country, rock, blues, disco, swing.... the beat goes on. I could listen to 70's country music all day with Roger. And the Beatles? You bet. You're lookin' at the original weirdo girl who wore a Beatles t-shirt in jr. high when it wasn't cool to like the Beatles. (At the risk of dating myself, New Kids on the Block were the big screaming deal at the time. I hated them. LOL) So, I sympathize with you about modern music, CD. The good news is, there's lots of great music out there from now and yesteryear that finds its audience, folks like you and me and Hoss and Roger...and if your sister would rather listen to the latest boy band, well that's her loss. LOL. In fact, when I first saw this thread, I thought of this great ol' tune by Rush that I thought seemed fitting... Spirit of Radio - Rush All this machinery making modern music Can still be open hearted Not so coldly charted It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah Your honesty One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity And speaking of skewed charts, it was recently noted that rapper Lil' Wayne has now had 109 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, beating out Elvis Presley. There's a great big huge astrisk on this tho' - most of the songs were not Lil' Wayne solo, he was a featured artist on somebody else's record. Therefore, I declare here and now that Elvis's record of 108 singles on the Hot 100 chart still stands. Lil' Wayne, please sit back down.
