Congrats Dave, you got 'er .

I'm also wondering if we should lift the informal rule of not looking in Lightfoot.ca - Lyrics/Chords, especially appropriate for older songs, Pre c '65, -pre UA period, thoughts ? All songs I do now are under 'Lyrics and Chords'. I'd say go for it, unless it takes the fun out of it for you ! I think most of us have 'sneaked a peak', any way...lol Or, lift the lyrics patch. ?? Why not both at your own discression, whatever is most fun for you. Any imput is appreciated.

================================================== ========

Q236 .... road signs .... Joveski got it with 'Bells of the evening'

Q237 .... of a taxi .... Joveski got it with'Betty Called Me In'

Q243 To understand .... Remains Unanswered 2nd Clue: 'I know what they said, but...'

Q244 Pay any dues .... Dave of Melbourne got it ! - 'Only Love Would Know'

Q245 ....old Mexico 2nd Clue: Goodby 3rd: goodby,goodby in 'old Mexico' - Remains Unanswered -I should have called it a rarity, but was unsure because its listed in Lighfoot.ca, under regular 'Lyrics and Chords'

SQ1 Story clue - Remains unsolved 2nd clue Solve it by rhyme or reason . And -..... in shades of twilight 1st clue: He still sort of loves her, but wants her to be happy moreso than necessarily love him, if she needs him at a certain time of day , he'll be there for her, but if for any reason she wants him to leave, he'll be on a train outta there. -[B] Ron gave a good crack at it with
'If You Need Me' but... its got to have a train in it..... see 2nd clue(s)

NOTE: -The first two story clues went well enough, but I can see great ambiguity in story clues; less fun maybe. I'll drop 'em if you guys want to ?

~all songs by Gordon Lightfoot except Q245: by 'Lightfoot & Ruth Hash'

OK there she be. 5 to go including the story clue Congratulations to the 2nd round !
