I am a big fan of Mountain, but for the life of me I can't decipher
the words to Mississippi Queen.  If some kind soul would please post
the lyrics and tab for Mississippi Queen, it'd be much appreciated.
Actually, any tab/lyrics from the Climbing album would be a godsend.
(Tab from album Nantucket Sleighride would be great too, 'cause I
already have the lyrics)....

Anybody got tab or chords to John Gorka stuff?  I could trade
Nanci Griffith chord patterns.

I guess I'm especially interested in "The Mercy of the Wheels,"
because I just played it and it made me want to cry.

Interesting.  The only two videos I have seen of it - Alchemy and
Sydney, 1986 (the final concert) - he had it on the third fret.
Interestingly, on Portobello Belle (Live) from the Money For Nothing
compilation album, I suspect he's using a capo or something, for
it's certainly in a different key than the Communique album version
(either higher or lower by a semi-tone I believe).

What about when he pays the D minor on the opening verse of Tunnel
of Love.  Somehow he contorts those fingers to play strings 2-5 to
finger the chord, then bends his thumb over the top of the fifth
fret to get the A-bass note.  Very strange.....

Others seem to be doing a good job of this, but in my own defense:

I do think the song is a bit annoying, even "sick", and if that's Merle's
response to "people like me" well, that supports my opinion.  I'll have to
look up Kinky's version...I'm from El Paso!

And, yes, I was just joshing about "them midwest crowds", but I'm not into
smileys...

The artist is Gerry Rafferty, possibly with his band Stealer's Wheel.

Rafferty has done lots of nice work, this is just his best-known.

He also sings the only vocals on Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album for
Local Hero, which I think is Knopfler's finest work ever.

It is "Tiffany twisted" and "Mercedes bends" as I remember from the 
album liner notes.  It might be interesting to note that this is
the only song for which the lyrics are supplied with the album.

   Here's one:

   "Clowns to the left of me
	   jokers to the right, here I am
   Stuck in the middle with you"

   Cool song with slide git, artist/label/year of issue/availability/?

=====================================

This is by Steeler's Wheel, which included Gerry Rafferty (of "Baker Street"
fame) before he went solo.

More recently, this song was featured during a "key" scene of the jewel heist/
criminal/bloodbath movie _Resevoir Dogs_ and is available on the soundtrack.

 This is probably a real long shot..I doubt many on this group have even
heard of Platinum Blonde, let alone remember them or any of their music.
I'd really like to work out some of Standing in the dark album...any
hints or tab really welcome....

Thanks,

Steve

I think that's "Okie From Muskogee".  There's actually a fairly funny reply
song, using the same music, called "Hippie From Olema" as well.

Personally, I would recommend "Put Another Log On The Fire", which is about
a redneck who asks his wife to bring him his slippers, cook dinner, put a
log on the fire, and then explain why she's leaving him.

You might also try "Sweet Home Alabama", which is essentially a reply to Neil
Young's "Southern Man".

Finally, Country Joe & The Fish's "Harlem" would be appropriate for a redneck
thinking about visiting New York.  I've got the CJ Fish songbook if you have
trouble finding this.

Hello. I'm new here and I'm not sure if I understand exactly what the
above is telling me. Is this a series of notes starting with the G on
the third fret of the E string followed by the D on the 5th fret of
the A string and so on? I guess what I really want to know is is there
a FAQ for this group? Thanks.

Good suggestion Gary. I didn't think anyone else was interested in Gorka
but now that I know someone is, maybe I'll send the two I've worked out so
far. They are that Judy Garland song (name?) and Love is Our Cross to
Bear. Kepp asking for Gorka. I want some too. Also anybody have any Fred
Small or other good folk singers?
