[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] RRRich, I loved Walked the Line and bought the DVD too. Also love Johnny Cash's music. (Though that's no guarantee of my liking these biopicks of musicians--I hated the Ray Charles film, but I love his music--in fact, I just didn't want to know all that about a musician I like! And I thought the Bobby Darin one was dim, and the Edith Piaf simply crazy.) Palmland, I HAVE Old Train! In fact, I even have "Pan American" downloaded onto my computer--I just did it long ago and forgot about it. (I should have looked first instead of asking!!!) I remember when I got it,though, being disappointed there weren't more train songs. I did put "Old Train" (the title song) on one of my train song CDs that I take on trips (I have 3), but I will have to get "Pan American" on one of them too. I see it is a Hank Williams song. BTW I also have a song called "Pan American Boogie"--I have versions by Robin & Linda Williams and by Kate MacKenzie; but there might be better ones. But do you know the "Texas Eagle" song by Steve Earle on the recording he made with the bluegrass group the Del McCoury Band? That's another of my big favorite train songs, and it even mentioned Amtrak (in a negative light--probably, Smitty, you would like it!). It was written when there were still trains in Mexico, though. Bill H, am not sure what Johnny Rockets jukebox type thing is. There are large gaps in my knowledge, I'm afraid (some of which are caused because I forget things I used to know). Re Arlo Guthrie, he doesn't live so very far from here, or didn't. I believe Alice's Restaurant was in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in the Berkshires (near where the LSL goes from Boston to Albany). Long time ago. I have friends in NYC who were extras in the trailer made for the movie (back in the 60s; good movie in its day but would likely be very dated now). I remember when Arlo took the train down post-Katrina; he was interviewed on TV news (probably CNN) and said it was the first time he was taking the City of New Orleans. Like me upcoming, he detoured to Chicago to take it--he could have gone down to NYC and caught the Crescent for 1 less night on the train, but of course he had to take the CONO!!! He had his guitar on the train and seemed to be in coach (though maybe he had a sleeper too). [/QB][/QUOTE]
