Maybe. I briefly amused myself by trying to compile song titles from my collection which corresponded to every year of the 1900's. What gaps can you fill in? I know it's easy to just use AllMusic's search engine, so at least try to make them either songs of note or songs you personally like. Eb I know there's a few duplicate years here, but they're songs from my collection, not search items... The Wire Machine - The Doves (1944) The Beach Boys - Disney Girls (1957) The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night) The Clash - 1977 Wings - Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five Julian Cope - Western Front 1992 CE And lastly, although it's probably not eligible as it's not been commercially released, my good friend Robbie Fischer wrote a great song called Back In '65. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 23:01:46 -0500 From: Jeff Subject: Re: 20th-century years : > > OK, maybe this can liven up the list.

Quite a big venue, and yet a fun one. Let's hope that the transit strike is over by then. I could arrange a fegmeet, if so required.

I drove from Grand Junction for 4 hours through snow and freezing rain to see him for the 17th time. I arrived at the venue early and was delighted to find Robyn wandering around. No one else had the nerve to speak to him, so I struck up a conversation with him, We chatted about gigs I had seen and some of our favorite places in California. He was much more jovial, cordial and relaxed than I remember him in the past. He told me that he very rarely follows a set list these days because he gets so many audience requests. He then said it would be an all request show that night and if there was anything I wanted to hear, to jot it down. A few of us early birds wrote down song titles, hoping he'd play one or two of them. I was ecstatic when he played 5 of mine Here is the set list from the other night. The songs I requested are asterisked. Devil's Coachman My Wife And My Dead Wife ("This song is so old, I think it votes Republican now") Beautiful Girl Queen Elvis ("This song is not about Morrissey") Oli Tarantula Up On Cripple Creek* Full Moon In My Soul Glass Hotel No, I Don't Remember Guildford* (He introduced this song by saying, "People usually ask me where babies come from. I tell them, 'the west'. The song after this is about where babies come from. This song is about where babies end up.") Sleeping With Your Devil Mask (He mentioned that he recently performed a wedding for two friends and played this song at their reception) Wax Doll Television Queen Of Eyes* Trash* (Before the song: "The only thing we learned from the psychedelic experiences we undertook in the 60s was how to undertake psychedelic experiences"; After the song: "Can you believe *I* wrote such a cynical, mean-spirited song?") Visions Of Johanna* ("This guy was anything but psychedelic, but without him, there'd be none of that. And without this song, I would have very few of my own songs to play for you tonight".) Listening To The Higsons/Stayin' Alive (Told a story about his girlfriend's father who was a talent scout on an Australian television show and how he tried in vain to keep the Bee Gees off his show) Nietzsche's Way New Age Only The Stones Remain Brenda's Iron Sledge/Funky Town When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman/Sound + Vision/Kung Fu Fighting (He left the stage and strolled around the bar and through the audience singing this medley.) ENCORE A Day In The Life Madonna Of The Wasps Creeped Out I Wanna Destroy You ("This is for Dicky Cheney and it goes out sideways to everyone he comes in contact with".) After "Destroy" he apologized that his voice was gone and said he was going to change out of his work clothes and mingle and sign shit. I bought a "Please don't call me Reg, it's not my name" t-shirt and had him sign it to my wife, who was unable to attend. He wrote: Hello Carol - come more! Robyn H She loved it! We chatted a bit longer about the show, I thanked him for coming to Denver and told him I looked forward to seeing him again. He said he loves it there and won't let 6 years elapse until he passes through again. I walked away thrilled. I have never gone away from a Robyn show disappointed. Of course, I listened to his CDs all the way back to Grand Junction. Seeing him live has always inspired my creative side and seeing and hearing him this week, especially since his voice and playing were in top form, has made me realize just how big an influence he wields on my music. Tom Clark said years ago that listening to Robyn makes him happy and I would have to concur. Something in his voice and his words makes all life's problems seem so insignificant. At least until the show's over. Back to lurking...
