Name that tune

[Peter_S]

Well, with all this help, I feel obligated to name the tune (I think ).

Hell's Bells.

(I had a Geology professor who always would say, when someone did not remember something that he thought they should have, "hell's bells, man!".

You got it, Peter!

I had my first class with him in 1965, and the last about 1973. He was one of the reasons I became a geologist, and can still spell his name correctly - Dr. Somdev Bhattacharji.

Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

Even less sure than usual that someone will know this, but, as a hint if needed, I will explain why I want to post it.

"Picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight?
Her name was Ann
And I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowing what to do"

As alluded to above, I really wanted to post a song by this Canadian singer/songwriter, since he died at the beginning of May. We have had several of his songs in the past on this thread, which limited me to perhaps lesser-know ones.

I can't think of more clues, and more lyrics would not help much, so I will wait until Wednesday and then post a hopefully easier one.

Peter, I'm wondering if this could be Gordon Lightfoot, as I read somewhere that he had died recently? I only know ' If you could read my mind ', which obviously is not the right answer.

[Peter_S]

Yes Jill, you are correct about both Gordon Lightfoot dying and that it is not If you could read my mind.

So far, however, you are leading, and may get the next choice!

[Peter_S]

It does not look like anyone is going to name Carefree Highway, so Jill, as the closest artist namer, can choose the next tune.

[Jill]

Thank you Peter - If you could read my mind is on my list of timeless music, along with Wichita Lineman.

I don't know if this is though.

Looking like a true survivor

Why do I do this ???

I immediately thought I heard I'm Still Standing in your lyrics, and I thought I heard Billy Joel singing them, but I guess the song is actually by Elton John.

To continue my pedantic discourse, while the plains of the US and those of Canada are quite similar, Wichita Lineman was sung by Glen Campbell and was written by Jimmy Webb. I do not know if Gordon Lightfoot liked the song.

Well done Peter, you are correct. I have Wichita Lineman on one of my rowing iPod lists and I am now going to add If you could read my mind.

Over to you.

Thanks, Jill.
