Can you right click on a playing video?

Scroll down in the pop up box to copy embed code, click on that.

Open the video icon in your reply , click on embed (ignore that it looks highlighted) a big space opens where you paste The code)

That inserts a grey box in your reply which becomes a video when posted.

Wow, that Iron Horse song was great! I love good banjo picking!

Life’s Railway To Heaven is one of my all-time favorite songs! I’ve never heard this version of it before, but I like it!

another great sound

One of my faves is Bryan Ferry’s “Midnight Train.”

My Dad was a Navy Chaplain, he used to get mad when he got an alternative rendition!(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-yell.gif) I’m glad you enjoyed it.

John Prine died today of complications with the Corina Virus.

Rest in peace John.

September in Seattle by Shawn Mullins

Hi Folks;

It’s not an audio recording, but I have a copy of the book Scalded to Death by the Steam by Katie Letcher Lyle. It includes musical scores for the songs, a history of the wreck, and some background on how the song developed. It starts with The Wreck of Old 97 (same tune used in the New Kingston Trio’s The Man Who Never Returned), and includes many old railroad wreck ballads. Interesting material if you can find a copy (perhaps at the public library when we can go to them again).

Cheers, David Meashey

Dave,

I have a copy of that book and have really enjoyed it over the years.

I like how it gives the history of a train wreck then goes on to tell how the story/song developed

then gives you the score of the music.

Great book thanks for bringing it up(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Does anyone know the “Glasgow Underground” song? A real life train that just gos roundy-round.

And then there’s Charlie and the MTA. That’s the reason they call the subway access card in Boston a “Charlie Card”.
