ParticipantThis contest was fun!!! and I spent hours looking these things up and more hours typing up these referencesComputers crashed, servers blanked…Hell, I left work hours early and sent the darn list to SI from the local library. I’m not sure how many copies of the list he got but I’m sure I was more than a bit annoying. I wanted those tickets!!! A lass named Lisa Lloyd, I believe, won the tickets and the bragging rights. Lisa had LOTS of cites, as I did. I haven’t done that kind of research since grad school!!!

KeymasterI’ll post them up in the next few days. Dose Day didn’t finish for me on 9th – I had contests to close and prizes to mail out.
The job here is actually to merge a few sets of answers, since different people had different ideas.
I’m onto it!

ParticipantI had fun with it, too. I had to take my husband to the airport that afternoon, so I grabbed all my BH CDs and while my husband was driving, I pored through the liners to look up the last few I couldn’t get. Good thing I found them all before we got there or I would have been quite the menace on the freeway driving back! Too bad I didn’t get my answers in sooner…

ParticipantSi was right. This contest was harder than it sounded! It was fun trying to find all the references.
I psyched myself out while looking for answers though. If the question stated: “name three songs…” I thought there were only three correct answers. I’ve got to loosen up!

I also pretty much did the minimum requested. But I had fun finding these. Those eight “Dreams” were surprisingly difficult for me, so I included a couple of obscure references to what could be considered “dreams.”
I didn’t include the specific lyrics from each song, but trust me, they ARE there — except for maybe the last two; I kind of guessed on 9 & 10 (and probably 5, too) …
1. Eight “DREAMS”
– Til the Dreamings Done
– Shadow Hands
– Across the River
– Fields of Gray
– Dreamland
– Nobody There But Me
– Halcyon Days
– Mirror on the Wall
– Lost Soul “Somewhere between two worlds”
– Another Day “As I closed my eyes I saw in my mind”2. Seven “ROADs”
– The Valley Road
– The Road Not Taken
– Down the Road Tonight
– I Will Walk with You
– The Old Playground
– A Night on the Town
– Lost Soul3. Four “BOATs”
– Gulf of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues
– Mandolin Rain
– Look Out Any Window
– Lost Soul4. Three “CANDYs”
– Candy Mountain Run
– Cartoons and Candy
– King of the Hill5. Three “CLOWNs”
– Pete & Manny
– Circus on the Moon
– Gonna Be Some Changes Made6. Two “KINGs OF THE HILL”
– King of the Hill
– Stander on the Mountain7. Two “SUNs”
– Walk in the Sun
– Place Under the Sun
– Carry the Water
– Nobody There But Me8. Two “ACROSS THE RIVERs”
– Across the River
– Lost Soul9. Two “ELEPHANTs”
– Circus on the Moon
– Candy Mountain Run10. One “UNDERWEAR”
