I just wanted to thank you all for helping me through the maze I find myself in...coins to the right; coins to the left!

I am grateful that you all answer my questions thoughtfully. You have given my so many good ideas that I have used, and that I never would've thought of. You've pointed me to resources that are extremely helpful.

Just wanted to say *T*H*A*N*K *Y*O*U!!

(....and I'll be back!)

    lordm,

    Let me help you with that problem. Repeat after me....

    "This is the story... of a lovely lady... who was bringing up three very lovely girls."
    "All of them had hair of gold... like their mother's... the youngest one in curls."

    Take it from there. You can thank me later.

    I think they got it mixed up with "fins to the left, fins to the right" you know the buffett song about sharks?

    did'nt stealers-wheel evolve into gerry rafferty? baker street? now THAT'S a classic.

    Karl,

    You are correct. Rafferty was a vocalist and guitar player with Steeler's, co-wrote Stuck. You must be old.image

    Stuck was good, but I liked their later hit Star. 'Bout time there was a Stealer's Wheel thread around here.

    I knew all of that...and I don't feel old at all after my third bottle of Mt. Dew everyday.

    Anyone who is a fan of classic rock should own City to City by Gerry Rafferty IMO.

    Coins to right of them,
    Coins to left of them,
    Coins in front of them
    Valued and listed;
    Storm'd at with loupe and lens,
    Kept from coins one spends,
    Into the jaws of plastic,
    Compared to the price of Trends,
    Rode the six hundred.

    Hey, thanks for the link to that guys lyric site. There's another great song on there, Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan. I fell in love for the first time to that song and Right Down the Line by Rafferty one glorious summer long ago.

    I've also been looking for the lyric to Abraham Martin and John, and what do ya know, there it is.

    BTW, coindaughter... please forgive the hijacking of your thread by the Gerry Rafferty fan club.

    I am not one of those that has advised you, but I am sure that those who have appreciate your thanks, and will be there in the future to help or simply enjoy your stories. It's good things have turned out well.

    Although Baker Street is one of my more-often played mp3's, I had not thought about Right Down the Line for ages! I had to drop everything that I was doing and rush right out and download it! If there are any of you who need that tune on mp3, just e-mail me and I will send you a copy! It is such an excellent tune! Made my Friday...

    I did the bar thing as a part-time gig - pay sucked but the booze was free - but did the evening shift on a local radio station for about 4 years total. Gained tons of useless trivia!

    Hey Russ,
    What do you have against Jimmy Buffett!!! Don't make me link to Fins!!! Better say your sorry!!!image

    << <i>pay sucked but the booze was free >>



    Yep, and the women were easy. Even an ugly guy can get some if they're the DJ.image My dad was a jock for over about 30 years. Worked KJR Seattle in the '60's when it was the hottest rock station on the west coast.

    EDIT: Just for grins, this is what I sound like.image

    Has a familar ring. Oh God, sounds of Hooray for Hazel, Wendy, Journey to the Center of the Mind and other such classics are begining to fill my head. KJR in the 60's... every northwest kid had to be tuned in.

    << <i>... every northwest kid had to be tuned in. >>



    Hehe, some of us had no choice.image He did KJR briefly in the late 50's, moved over to KRKO for a bit, then back to KJR for a couple years, then back to KRKO for about 13 years. Then taught it for about ten, then bounced around from station to station for the rest of his career.

    Growing up in Oregon, I used to be able to tune in KJR late at night during the Summer when the sky was clear. Ahh, the memories! My best friend that I grew up with has been a DJ every since he was a teenager and still in highschool, so I spent a fair amount of time hanging around at radio stations.

    For some odd reason, Harry Chapin's song WOLD keeps popping into my head.

    I am late to this thread but I can only "second that emotion"!

    This forum is SPAM free, expletive free and commercial free. That's all good but what is so wonderful is the knowledge you guys/gals have. I have avoided lots of mistakes and more importantly learned so much in the last 2 months.

    I hope to stick around and be able to share some of experiences as well.

    Keep gushing coindaughter!

    I want to hi-jack this thread too (sorry!)..... I guess I would make the 3rd DJ on this board, as I've done the club thing (not called bar thing since the 70's & 80's) and also the radio gig thing as well. Boy some of the stories I could tell you, but not here!image Us DJ's have to fight them off almost as much as band members do!! I guess it's the coin geek in me that keeps me on the spinning side of the music instead of the dancing side! In radio, if I had a buffalo nickle for every time I played a Michael Bolton or Mariah Carey song, I wouldn't have to work for a living!
