From the top of my head I would answer his Billboard Chart questions
like this:

"Pop" Charts have been around since July 1940, they started out as a
Top 10 and expanded from there. I believe the Top 100 started some
time in the early 50s.
Books containing all the weekly Hot 100 charts are out now for the
60s, 70s and 80s. (The 50s and genre Charts like C&W are promised).
They reprint the Hot 100 charts from the original pages as they
appeared at the time. Various condensations of the type you mentioned
(by artist or all #1s in sequence...) are available from 1955 to
"present", also for Country music. "present" means usually one or two
years ago, to allow for editing. New editions appear every few years.

There is also one book (not chart based) spanning the history before
the advent of billboard charts from 1888 (!)(or thereabouts) to
1940-something. I don't know how this #2 in 1938 comes about. As
Billboard claims to have invented the charts in 1940, this must be  a
time warp :-)

Hope this helps.

  Sure, I'll bite.  Three songs which make me leap up and shut off my
radio are:

	"God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood
	"Thank God for Kids" by ??
	"We are Young Country" probably by H. Williams, Jr.

(Forgive any errors in titles or artists.)  

  Note that two of the titles mention God.  Please don't interpret
this as any bias against God.  In fact, I wonder if the use of God's
name in songs as awful as these isn't borderline sacrilegious.

I have a couple of Chris Ledoux albums; you're right, it's difficult to
decide which one to pick since he probably has at least twenty albums out.
I chose "Radio and Rodeo Hits" first, since it was sort of a compilation.
I also picked up "Western Underground", since it has the song "This
Cowboy's Hat".  I'm surprised you've never heard anything by Chris -
are you sure the song "Running Through the Rain" doesn't ring a bell :
"Well it's rodeo time in Oakdale, California..."? And how about "It Ain't
the Years, It's the Miles"?

Anyway, Chris has been recording since 1972. He recorded whenever he had
some time off from the rodeo circuit; he won the world championship riding
bareback broncs at one point. It would be an understatement to say that
his music leans towards rodeo and the wild west; it's almost purely
dedicated to rodeo and cowboys. Suffice it to say that he's a better 
writer than he is a singer, sort of similar to Jerry Jeff Walker's
talents (although a slightly better voice than Jerry Jeff), and a little
bit less irreverent than Jerry Jeff.

If you're going to buy one Chris Ledoux album just to get a taste, I
recommend "Radio and Rodeo Hits".

	I believe that Parton is from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee near

of her amusement park, Dollywood.

Howdy,

My mother remembers a song from somewhere in the 1969-78 range which
she wonders if anyone can identify.  It's a duet, with the male singer
singing about driving home to the woman he loves.  The title is
perhaps "[I'm?] Somewhere in Virginia in the Rain".  The refrain goes
something like:

  [I'm?] somewhere in Virginia in the Rain,
  Never thought I'd {hear your voice | see your face } again,

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Speaking of which, can anyone out there understand the last verse?  I think 
it's the last one... it seems to have some Eskimo pidgen English or 
North-country slang in it.  It's the one that goes something like:

	She's got the air corps down,
	The sourdoughs hang around,
	She ?????  night and day,
	With a landing gear so fine,
	And a fuselage divine,
	She cuddles close and I can hear her say:

Then comes that great chorus:  

		Ooga, mooga, mushka, that means that I love you,
		... (etc.) ...

Most likely this is Ronnie Milsap's "Smokey Mountain Rain".  It may not

	Guy Mitchell... now that name brings back some personal
memories...

	I didn't realize that Guy Mitchell had so solidly nailed it
with "Singing the Blues." I knew it was a big hit for him but did not 
know it had been that big.

	A little over a decade later, Mitchell hit the bigtime on
the Billboard Top 75 Country (!) chart with a song I wrote called
"Frisco Line" which was released as a cut on his album "Singin' Up A Storm"
and as a single by Starday Records in Nashville.

	The song soared all the way to #71 (with a bullet :-) and
then crashed and burned. But what a thrill that was for me just to see 
it reach the chart! The BMI royalty checks for "Frisco Line" still come 
pouring in sporadically when the song shows up on some sample station's list. 
My last check was for a whopping $1.23 :-)

	Mitchell struggled at Starday in Nashville for several years
trying to find through country music the vitality he once had known, but had 
then lost, in pop music. He was not successful and then he totally dropped
from sight as far as I could tell. I have often wondered what became of him
because, for one brief and shining moment, he was, in my mind, the best
country singer on the planet. :-)

I recently read a review of a concert with Lucinda Williams, Mary-Chapin
Carpenter, and Rosanne Cash in the latest Dirty Linen magazine.  It sounded
like a great show, but I'm not sure if they're touring together in the US
(the concert reviewed was in Australia).

Also, I heard on the NPR program World Cafe tonight that Lucinda Williams

I gotta agree with this one.  The sad thing is that it's the worst

it's so bad!  He had a bunch of really good songs, too, in my opinion,
including:

	I'm Countryfied
	Goodbye Marie
	Right in the Palm of Your Hand
	Big Ole Brew (and Li'l Ole You)
	Take Me to the Country Tonight

The last of these was sort of country-rock....

The song 'Outbound PLane' is written by Nanci Griffith, and can be found
on the album 'Little Love Affairs'.  Her version is wonderful, and so is
the whole album, or anything done by Nanci for that matter.  In
reference to Suzy Bogguss' earlier albums, I have heard that she yodels
on a few songs.  I am not saying that is bad, but some people cannot get

I concur with the recommendations for this album (my biases are much more
to folk rather than country, though).  However, with last year's demise
of Rough Trade's US operations, this CD has become very difficult to 
find -- I was looking for a copy for a net.acquaintance and could only
unearth a few cassettes, no CDs.  Happy hunting!

I'm very disappointed to read in another posting that her major label
album was cancelled; please keep us posted.

Not only are such songs "bad", but to me they are actually offensive.  Some
other examples are:

"In My Eyes"--the overall sentiment is good, but I *hate* the line "she's
just a woman..."

"Daddy's Comin' Round to Momma's Way of Thinking"  or something like that by
Paul Overstreet.  Is this a slam on men or what?

"She is His Only Need"  This is a terribly unhealthy attitude.  He must be
codependent.

Just off the top of my head.  I'm sure there are many more examples if I
chose to look.

Does anyone know anything about the westtern movie on CBS last night called 
"The Life and Times of Ned Blessing"?
Is it going to be a series, or will it be a series of movies like the 
Desparado bunch?  
It left me hanging and I am going to go loco until I know the ending.
I believe the lead was played by one of Baldwin brothers --he sure looked 
like one anyway.

Can anyone help me?
