Johnny, I have been looking for an old song for years that I used to hear back home in Jacksonville Florida. The song was sung by Eddy Arnold and I am pretty sure the name was “I’m The South” . The lyric were poetic but ther was a central theme around “well shut my mouth, I’m the South” .
Have you any recall of it, or have any suggestions as to where I might go to find it?
Are you familiar with “The Scandinavian Years” CD by the Sir Douglas Quintet? A friend is in Norway at present and is looking for it. Train From Trondheim” is just a good 3 chord country song. The Texas Tornados are playing in Minneapolis in September, We have tickets.

has anyone found the name and artist of song 1958,its easy to remember the first kiss that you gave me, a kiss meant for me only that’s why i remember????? would be willing to pay $50 to get this recording.
I have been going through old boxes in the attic – letting go of old, no-longer-used stuff [which my wife affectionately refers to as ‘junk’]. It’s been a long, long process as almost every item has memories and sentimental value attached to it. But – it’s either me doing it now – one item at a time – or my children doing it one box at a time.
In the process, I came across a small trove of old vinyl. I thought I had already dealt with all the records of my past – but, for some reason, there were these few. Among them is one titled “The Solid Gold Harmonica”. It features Ron Kalina with Al Stauffer. It was pressed by the Malvern Music Company of Malvern, PA under the Malvern Records label. I recall buying it back in the ’60s. I checked everyplace I could on-line and have found no information about it.
Does any Geezer have suggestions about what I can do with it? It is in Near Mint condition.

Not sure if this is what you mean, Dot, but “Love Me The Way I Love You” was apparently in the movie but was cut from the soundtrack recording. Is that the one you mean?
