Bingo!!!!   I'm glad to see people play attention to these things.

True, a difficult if not impossible question to answer. But I think Eddy
Arnold is a pretty poor answer (no flame intended). Maybe George Jones
might be a better answer. Can't argue with Loretta Lynn, though she would
not have been the first one to come to mind. Maybe Dolly Parton? Tammy

Nope, this was wrong.

Umm...I think the question clearly said "album".

Nope. According to "Billboard", Elvis's "Don't Be Cruel" is the winner
here with 11 consecutive weeks at number one. Runners-up with 10 weeks
in a row are (surprisingly) : "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" by
Perez Prado (1955), "Singing the Blues" by Guy Mitchell (1956), 
"Sincerely" by the McGuire Sisters (1955), "You Light Up My Life" by
Debby Boone (!!!) (1977), and "Physical" (!!!!!!!!!!!!) by Olivia-Newton
John (1981).

Interesting, "Billboard" doesn't even list "Gloria" at all. I know that
it was banned and/or censored in many places. Maybe "Billboard" doesn't
even consider such songs. Also interesting, it does mention the version
by "Shadows of Knight".

Anyway, I wasn't asking about singles.

BZZZT!! Read the question! I asked what was #1 for the most consecutive
weeks (well, that is what I implied; I didn't exactly word it that way),
not what is the most popular album of all time! I don't even know
if "Dark Side" is the correct answer to that question, anyway.

The correct answer to the question I asked was "West Side Story".

>Speaking of Pink Floyd, has anyone heard Brain Damaged by the

No, but I've seen the video "It's OK, He's Just A Friend"  which is
currently my favorite video.

OK, none of this has anything to do with country music; the original
question was taken out of context from a post that *WAS* related to
country music; this is just some housekeeping. Now, back to the good

This is a *really* esoteric one.

Sometime in the early-mid 70's, Emmy Lou recorded a song with the Gurnsey
Brothers (Washington, DC local faves).  I don't know the title, but it goes
something like:

    Oh my sweet darling, I see you've been crying
    The emptiness shines through your tears.
    Down by the river....

Worst part is I think she sang it under a different name (for contract 
reasons?).  

Does anybody remember such a song, and if so do you know where I can
get a recording? 

To give you an idea of how esoteric this is, I once asked Mike Auldridge
about this song (even played a few bars on a nearby guitar).  He smiled
politely, said he was sorry but he'd never heard it, and then walked 
off (no doubt to tell his buddies about the loony at the bluegrass
festival).

I though his song, Dying One Shot At A Time, was really good.
Unfortunately, it didn't get much (if any) air play on the stations out
here in Colorado.  I saw the video on CMT quite a few times.  He's a

Another singer who I have only seen on CMT is Marty Brown.  Quite a few

It's interesting that the best songs on the CD (or at least the ones
getting airplay) are all covers : "Someday Soon" (Judy Collins),
"Outbound Plane" (Nanci Griffith), and "Aces" (Cheryl Wheeler). Don't
know what significance that has. Anyway, she sure covers these songs
well, doesn't she? One other excellent song on the CD is "Still Hold On",
which was also recorded by Tanya Tucker a couple of years ago; Suzy's
version is much better.

Still, I think her first album ("Somewhere Between") was far and away
her best; wish she'd do more stuff like that and stay away from the
pop stuff.

Interesting - there are a couple kinds of bad.  These are so bad, in a 
gratuitious sort of way, that I have the same reaction.  I change the 
station by instinct when any of them come on.  Hank Jr. nearly always 
affects me that way.  There is at least one other category of bad - the
ones that aren't offensive like these, but are so terrible you just
listen to them and kinda grimace.

Dolly Parton is from Sieverville TN.  I have no reason to doubt it.  The
locals are real prowd of her.  She still has lots of kin folk around there.

If you like to know more visit Dollywood.  She took over an old tourist
(trap) in Pigeon Forge which is between Sieverville and Gatlinburg.  There's
lots of music there.  Some of it done by her kin folk.  Shows featuring
stars scheduled throughout the summer.  

In Dollywood is a museum that shows her high school pictures etc.

There is other stuff in Pigeon Forge too.  Phil Campbells Hee Haw show,
oh yes stop at The Earnest Tubb record shop and meet the manager little
Roy Wiggins who played steel for Eddy Arnold.  He plays at a show there
nightly.

I enjoy the place.  Been there several times.

And for the Ham radio operators Sieverville is home of Ten Tec.  In fact
it is located on Dolly Parton Blvd.  How about that!

Please excuse any spelling errors!

Depends on condition, type of Moeck tenor, and wood used in it.  In =The
American Recorder= magazine, I see used Moeck Rottenburgs listed for $200-300.
Had you contacted me a month ago, *I* would have been interested, alas.
Generally, Moeck has a reputation as the finest "mass producer" of wooden
recorders today.  The next step up is an entirely hand-made instrument by one
of the custom makers around the world.

I, also, would love to see recommendations on "whole consort" recorder
discs...trios preferably, others liked as well.
 
I prefer renaissance music.

Subject: MOECK TENOR RECORDER QUESTION

A number of years ago while traveling in Europe I purchased a Moeck
tenor recorder, thinking that I would learn to play.  When I got back
to the U.S. I played the instrument a few times, then forgot about it
and put it on the shelf.  Is the recorder worth anything...or has it
been outdated by Yamaha plastic units, etc?  I'm thinking of selling
it, as I no longer play it and wonder what it might be worth, who
might be interested in it?
