1. Hey..no KISS ME by TIN TIN?

:D slacker

[NightTrain]

3. I actually have that one on CD!

And no, I'm not joking.

[liberal43110]

2. "Two Tribes" was my fove song from Frankie Goes to Hollywood

I'm going to see Duran Duran in a couple weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BeatleBoot]

4. And you took the time to type all of that, too?

Wild.

:beer:

[NightTrain]

7. Sure, why not?

After all, misery loves company! :evilgrin:

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

5. Come Dancing by the Kinks hurts me a little bit

Such a great band, but that song...

[Left Is Write]

6. I'll bet you'd enjoy going through my LP and 45 collection.

I have a TON of stuff like that. It's fun, isn't it?

[NightTrain]

8. It would've been more fun if the basement weren't so goddamned cold!

And if the dog hadn't kept walking between me and the boxes of vinyl. :eyes:

9. Juice Newton had another song, the name escapes me,

that I used to sing my son to sleep with, when he was an infant. If you could rmemmber the title, I'd be grateful. I remember that it was a love song, ha ha!

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. I think "Queen of Hearts" was Juice Newton.

[NightTrain]

12. She actually had a number of hits. Off the top of my head....

Angel of the Morning
Queen of Hearts
The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)
Break It To Me Gently
Heart of the Night

There may be others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

[hickman1937]

14. That was it! The Sweetest Thing.

Thanks NightTrain. At six weeks old, my son loved that song, or at least nodded off to it. That song, and the rocker, and he was out like a light in five minutes.

[General Zod]

11. Do you have any of Peter Wolf's solo stuff?

.....I used to love "Come As You Are" and "Lights Out"

[AndyTiedye]

13. TWO TRIBES Rocks, And It's So Timely!

You should certainly work Two Tribes into your set.

I've been working into just about every set I've played since 9/11.
