I’m going to claim superiority by virtue of not including the **digits** 1 or 2 in my song titles. Therefor I’m more closely adhering to the rules than the rest of you. Yes, I know the rules said the digits 1 & 2 are ok, but I hold myself to a higher standard. 😛 96 Tears --The Mysterians 867-5309/Jenny --Tommy Tutone 59th Street Bridge Song --Harper’s Bazarre 44 Blues – Big Joe Williams Three Times A Lady --The Commodores Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray --Patsy Cline Four Wheel Drive --Bachman Turner Overdrive Five O’Clock World --The Vogues Seven Spanish Angels – Ray Charles Seven Seas Of Rhye --Queen Eight Days A Week --The Beatles Nine Below Zero --Muddy Waters Brandenburg Concerto #3 In G --Johann Sebastian Bach Symphony #9 In D Minor – Beethoven, Ludwig van ---

[/QUOTE] It’s from [The Essential Bill Morrissey on Rounder (2004)](http://www.rounder.com/?id=album.php&catalog_id=6594) We had the great pleasure a couple of years ago to have him visit a small venue in our Oregon town. A very good evening, with a highly-appreciative crowd of 75 who got to mix and mingle with him after the show. ---
