Hey Jerry, gotta agree about Iris Dement. She's great! Her song lyrics don't take any prisoners, do they?
She's got a fourth cd out that I've gotta lay my hands on soon, but I just blew my monthly music budget on k. d. lang and The Navigators.

Anybody's game, still a load of stuff left.

Trivia

23. - Youve shown it as open, but someone else answered this, which is why i didnt, Charles Manson did have a song recorded by Guns N' Roses - It was "I don't have you" untitled track 14 released on "The Spaghetti Incident" their tribute and covers of punk rock classics.
28. Just a mention - Happy Days was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Happy to say i once saw Leather T / Suzi Q live and she rocked my world.

cheers

Richo.

Scores updated.

After diligent research - ok ok, 30 seconds on Google - I find that G&N did record a song by Manson as an untitled track. Point accorded accordingly.
I was actually looking for a song by The Beach Boys. Dennis Wilson knew Charles Manson, and included Manson's song "Cease To Exist" on the album 20/20, retitled as "Never Learn Not To Love."
An interesting note - through Wilson, Manson had met Terry Melcher, Doris Day's son, who produced some of the Beach Boy's albums. Melcher turned down Manson's request to cut a record, with the result that Manson developed a major hard on against him. He and a few of his friends visited Melcher's house one night with murder on their mind. In the meantime, Melcher had rented his house to Sharon Tate. The rest is history.

Cooda, Joan Osborne recorded another song titled "What If God Smoked Cannibus." Hilarius..err..hialur..err..funnier'n hell.

Edited to add some hints.

Lyrics
6...Song written by John D. Loudermilk for this 34 y/old housewife who sounds like a 16 y/old on helium.
10..Song title could be Jerricho's MIL?
12..Great lady, had her own tread a week or so ago. Can't see how Jerry Coe missed this one. (Or Jerricho either)
13..C&W lady, same last name as the voice on the radio in T14. Her voice'd melt a cold, cold heart.
18..Irish lady, ex-lead singer of De Dannon. Lives in Nashville now.
24..Folkie, been on here before. Co-wrote the song "Gulf Coast Highway."


Trivia
14..See L13.
27..It was -27C here this morning. Not hard at all to do this if you have the footwear.
