Welcome to the game...Tom ? Forgive me please, but I can't keep straight yet which Tom is 'thomasj157' versus oTJ...versus, well, the minor variations I have seen for both 'Tom's' ! A visiting dignitary in either case !

And I am not being a gratuitous sycophant on that. I am truly honoured that you, as a member of the team that has produced the magnificent ..works of art.. in your vistories that compliment Lightfoot's work so wonderfully, came in this thread and played the game.

Well, you're here to play the game, not talk shop I'm sure; so lets go ahead on focus on that. I'm talking to myself this time of night in my basement 'office' i.e. a mess of bills, pictures, post Christmas orts and the 'puter of course..lol. OK:

'Tseeer:
Q267 .... my darling = 'You'll Still Be Needing Me' ? Yes ! You got it !

I have to say, at risk of sounding more gratuitous, that I am impressed that you discerned the.... 'positional' nature of the clue words to the whole verse via the dots in the clue, as they are meant to assist you just that way. If you only knew how much ribbing I have taken when I introduced them, and a good 100 posts thereafter ! A visual and conceptual aid is all they are, and you nailed it ! I'll post your winning per your 4lane moniker. We often informally post user's real first names at times when they don't mind, such as 'Linda' from the player screen name 'Oh,Linda!' (the song, of course), and RM we know as Ron informally, etc. But as I am probably the only buffoon who does not remember which Tom is which, I'll post your winning below as
4LaneStudios.

Thanks for playing, I hope we see more of you in the game ! I won't trouble you with vistory questions while you seek recreation in this game; especially what with the current ....propietary difficulties... . So kick your shoes off, put your feet up, and ace my questions more like you just did. I can't seem to make 'em hard enough for the regulars.....down to just one-word clues, and they still will at times blow-away a ten-Q array in 4 hours !

I am informally geo-steve, or Steve, versus my arcane geodeticman.5 lol.....

So, charting on the 'X' -files:

BIG 'X' As you'll recall, indicates that the given clue is won and done.
================================================== ========
Q266 .... slave .... X Joveski gets it with 'Bells of the Evening'

Q267 .... my darling - X 4LaneStudios gets it with 'You'll Still Be Needing Me'

Q268 .... pins - X formerlyLavender gets it with 'Magnificent Outpouring'

Q269 .... Intended - Remains Unanswered NOTE CAPS

Q270 .... railhead .... - Remains Unanswered

Q271 .... Rocky Mountains .... - Remains Unanswered

Q272 Float me .... - Remains Unanswered

Q273 Troubles .... - X formerlyLavender gets it with 'Cobwebs and Dust'

Q274 Out on .... X Joveski gets it with 'Somewhere USA'

Q275 Paper .... X Joveski gets it with 'I'll Tag Along'

================================================== ========
All songs written by Gordon Lightfoot .

And we have a new contender amongst the regulars - 4LaneStudios to welcome into the game !

Enjoy ! 6 down, 4 to go !
