<p>Thanks Mike. Would love to have that track... Unfortunately, my Dad has been gone for 30 years. But thanks for the good thought!</p>

<div><font size="3">Scott,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">For some reason I've always liked the Snake River, just the name alone!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Sounds like a great place to journey along, and fishing relaxs the hell out of me.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Of those songs that came to your mind, I played half of them- you'll have to find out on your own which ones, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I like Talking Heads, don't know why I haven't played them more…</font></div>

<div><font size="3">The Running Bear tune does bring back some memories, is a fun song, and I hope Dad is around for Fathers Day.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">If you'd like I'll send it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Black Water...ah you missed it but I didn't!<br/>That's what I do, remember things like the Doobies, (the band that is), lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And you're right, there are tons of tunes written about rivers, far too many to play in 2 hours.</font></div>

<div><div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Well that funk makes for a quick and easy response, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">You liked the knowns but not the unknowns.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That happens when hearing songs for the first time, haven't lived with them long enough yet.</font></div>

<p>I grew up on the banks of the Snake River basin in Idaho. Great places along that one! Lave rock mesas, Rocky Mountain peaks, white water rapids, and valley's that showcase beach like calm and sandy areas to throw out the blanket and call it a day. Great boating and recreation too... Oh, and the fishing! Some of the best in the world. Just drive a few miles and pick your sport! But I'm not biased or anything like that...</p>

<p></p>
<p>Some great songs come to my mind (apologies if these have been played, I haven't had the time to catch up on all the shows lately)</p>
<ul>
<li>Watching The River Run - Loggins and Messina</li>
<li>Boat on the River - Styx</li>
<li>Green River - CCR</li>
<li>Rivers (Of The Hidden Funk) - Joe Walsh</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Didn't realize that Talking Heads tune was a cover! Not a fan of the band but they have one or two that get a passing grade, that is one.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hahaha... that Running Bear tune brings back some memories. I think my Dad played it often.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Ah - Black Water! Cant believ I missed that one when I was listing the tunes out above... Lots of tunes written after rivers that are named after locations... Mississippi, Tenessee, Rio Grande come to mind... Love the Doobies! (The Band that is).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Nice show!!!</p>

<p>A little late again this week. But I got here.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Maybe I'm in a funk, I don't know, but this half didn't really stand out for me. There were a few well known songs (Take Me To The River, Black Water and Ferry Cross The Mersey), and I liked all of those.</p>

<p>But the unknowns just didn't move me today. I'll give the Golden Pell to the comedy routine by Jackie Vernon. I did enjoy the informational content, you know, that he was the voice of Frosty The Snowman. My…</p>

<p>What was wrong with your Talking Heads CD? Great song, I actually did know that it was a cover. You impressed?</p>
<p>For a moment there, I thought it was Marlon Brando. Such a sad story and then the punchline. I haven't watched Frosty since I was a kid, I don't watch those holiday shows.

<p>Doooooooobies!</p>
<p>I could swear someone covered the "Dirty Water" song, but instead of referencing Boston, they used New York. Can't find anything about that though. </p>
<p>Frankie Goes To Hollywood did a cover version of "Ferry Cross The Mersey", it's no bad but it does sound very very much a product of the 80's. </p>
<p>Nice show Mikey Mike! Great first song. I PREDICTED THAT!</p>
