Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

If I may, may I add another title to my answer for #2...(If I had the wings of an angel)

Marilyne

Junee - Right on both songs - My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean and She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain.

Rammel - When Johnny Comes Marching Home, is correct

Chia - A Shanty in Old Shanty Town, and The Prisoners Song are  both right.
I wasn't sure if this song is considered a folk song, or if it's considered Country/Western?  I've always liked it, so decided to include it either way. 

The last three songs! First come, first served! ;D

1. turn you to dust

10. lonely but free

11. angels in Heaven

RAMMEL

10. lonely but free

Wow, now I'm getting confused, but I think I have it right! ::) I thought #1 and #11 were the same song, but they are two different songs! :-[

1. Turn you to dust

11. Angels in Heaven

Chia

#11..Down In The Valley

Chia - Down in the Valley, is correct for #11

That last one chased me off to Amazon to look at the Burl Ives selections. I do have some Ives stuff on LP's but no longer a way to play them (readily).  Might just get one of the CDs.

Marilyne...Great Music Quiz...Enjoyed it a lot...  :) :thumbup:

junee

Maryline, thank you for the songs of yesteryear.

Radioman34

great quiz! Songs we sang so many years ago

Marilyne

Thank you all again for playing! :thumbup:

Rick - I also have some old Burl Ives LP's.  We have a vintage stereo that works, but it's down in the basement/family room, and nobody ever wants to sit down there and listen to records! However, we just can't bring ourselves to give away the huge number of LP's we like so much.  As for folk songs, I also like The Kingston Trio, and have a lot of those also, as well as Peter, Paul and Mary.  My favorite Ives song is, "The Eddystone Light", and my favorite Kingston Trio song is, "The Sloop John B".

Hahaha --- It must be an "old people" thing. My LP's and "player" are also downstairs in our playroom.  I have an old Fisher 500T receiver. Still works good and is still used. An old Dual turntable is on an adjacent wall and not connected. My LP's and those from other deceased relatives are also down there. Remember those Longines Symphonette sets? --- got some of them. My forgetful brain says the Burl Ives is one of those sets.  I'm starting to get inspired to go down there to the "archives" and see what I can find.  This happens to me every once in a while.
