I remember watching The Bobby Goldsboro Show on TV in Australia when I was a
kid. I think there was a puppet or something called "Helmet", and I now
assume that it was a parody of Bobby.
That was one of my favourite songs when I was about 9, not discovering Deep
Purple and Led Zeppelin until shortly afterward.

Way back when I were a young'n, my father took us out to a Pizza Hut
restaurant up in the hills of Adelaide. Those are the days when Pizza
Hut actually cooked real pizzas. Unfortunately, not these days. It was
also one of my fathers better moods but I digress.
He had a friend who would play a solo acoustic act. This was one of the
songs he sang:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2DjqB0SO9M
He was a great singer as well as quite a good guitarist. Sadly he took
his own life a few years later but I will always remember him for this
song in particular.

Gordon Lightfoot is a little after my "golden period", but it is a good
song, and nice to know you like (appreciate?) some of the romantic stuff in
addition to the things you play. My preferences are the other way around,
especially Dylan's love songs, but I'm trying to become a geriatric rocker.

I guess thats because of a recent little love interest that's popped
into my life. Well, I've always been a bit of a softie underneath *and*
have I have quite a diverse music interest.
Go figure!

<g> For some reason you seem parallel to a lady that I was talking to at a
lunch party today; I have known her for many years. She has had a tough
life, (which I won't detail) and she talks tough. Positively intimidating to
most blokes, but when she lets her guard down a bit and smiles, her whole
face lights up......

Oddly enough, I was going to mention Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald". I get a lump in my throat every time I hear "All that
remains are the faces and names of the wives and the sons and the
daughters."

Yeah...and I also can't help but think of "I'd Love To Change The
World" by Ten Year's After when I hear Sloe Gin...they're pretty
similar.

heard it was about his Irish Setter.) Both were from roughly the same
time period.

Wow. That's heavy. That's loaded with emotion.
Seems I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff. Here's a few that get me
going;

Rose in Paradise. And from the same concert, Chet Atkins and Mark
Knopfler, Imagine;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPyB8jHGet8
Dexy's Midnight Runners, C'mon Eileen. It was released when my Great
Gran was dying from cancer, her name was Eileen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q
And finally, The theme from Local Hero, it just gets me going;

Brilliant. I'm getting out of the doldrums this arvo as 2010 is already
proving to be better than 2009. This was the icing on the cake, cheers.
I don't know why but this also came to mind ;-)

Not directed at you, Les. I just love the lyrics, freakin mad.

My dad was a tanker captain and I HATED that song when I was a kid. He
never told us any of the hairball shit that happened to him at sea
until after he retired. I was right to be scared for him, them boats
is dangerous especially when filled with explosive cargo.
SInce he passed away the one that always gets me is "My Old Man" by
Steve Goodman.
Michael Smith has a song called "The Dutchman" that's pretty potent
too.
In general, if you want your tears jerked, folk music is where it's
at. If you really want to be super depressed, the subgenre of Irish
Folk is the way to go.

That's a great one and there's so many more. Recently, I didn't go
see Eric Bogle 'cause I knew I'd never make it thru "The Band Played
Waltzing Matilda".

I'm a big Steve Earle fan too but, whenever I go see him I hope like
hell he doesn't do this one.

Yep - Cash's version is truer than the original could ever be.
Also sad - Joe Strummer wrote the song "Long Shadow" about Johnny Cash
- and then died before Cash did!
