some good ones folks, thanks (is the list exhausted at this point?) btw, I was really looking for "proper nouns" when I say "names" I guess Lord and God are...I don't think bossman or gypsy are Mama = borderline...I didn't realize Glory and Lavender were characters Oh Linda - when I say "GL penned" I meant that he wrote them otherwise we could add Patsy Cline, Wilf Carter, Diamond Joe, etc char, what tune is Davy Jones from? (rm, looks like this thread won't be visiting his locker, eh :p ) |

some examples: in> Boss Man, Morning Glory, Uncle Toad out> gypsy, big blue, watchman Edmund Fitzgerald and Marie Christine are boats rather than 'named characters' found in song lyrics, but since they are song titles I've accepted them (unless the democratic corfidian society votes to oust them) also, Abraham was given consideration from the 'plains of Abraham' but that is better suited to Waynes already published "Lightfoot Geography" list for consistency, I also revised some names to their full form (Sweet Guinevere, Daylight Katy, etc) but left Allison as is...all debatable Allison Ann Annabel Athabasca Lady+ Betty Betty Mae+ Bill Skinner Bill+ Billy+ Blackberry John Boss Man Cotton Jenny Daisy Doo+ Davy Jones Daylight Katy Dick Dolly+ Don Quixote Dream Street Rose Edmund Fitzgerald Ernie Flo+ God Gretzky+ Jack+ Jane Jenny Lind Jesse Jo Jesus Jim John John Wayne Joneses Lavender Linda Long John Silver Lord Maid Marion Marie Christine Mary Mary Jo Maryann Miguel Miss Marianne+ Morning Glory Mr. Barnum Mr. Hoot and Holler Mr. Moon Mr. Rock of Ages Nitro Joe+ Old Dan Pony Man Robin Hood Rosanna Rosey+ Sally Sweet Guinevere Tom Uncle Toad I also noted with a '+' sign, any of the latest additions which were, in desperation, pulled from the Unreleased and Warner Demos catalog...so we are a count of 58! thanks for the most recent, great adds: Ernie and Jim! (the latter, a glaring oversight) |

What about a parenthetically-referenced Name in the SONG Title, as in :
on the LP, anyway, Your Love's Return (Tribute to Stephen Foster) - by memory I realize this is not mainstream at all what you had in mind, but.. ? I simply want to participate when I see a compadre open shop in a new thread |
