As far as I know, it was just on the Apple IIe. You can check it out at the link I provided and play it online for free, though.

Those are the types of games I started gaming on. The one I remember that wasn't pinball was a baseball game.

Merle Travis wrote a lot of great songs about coal mining. One of my faves is Dark As a Dungeon. These are more songs that one would work to, as opposed to work-related, though.

Morrowind is pretty good. I liked it, once I figured out what the heck I was doing.

I have fun doing these, even if they are freakin' time-consuming! I spent about four hours on this one alone, if I include research, messages, coming up with an idea, and then finding the videos, and probably another half-hour writing it up. So I appreciate your listening and commenting more than you realize.

I knew you'd like the waulking songs. There was one I almost included, by the same group that did the first song, that has a young girl leading the song that was pretty neat. My friend Holly knows a bunch of waulking songs and sings them in Gaelic.

I'm glad to have reminded you of a good memory. Tom has a CD, might be able to get you a copy. He can't sing like that any more because of vocal chord cancer .

I dunno about MS being the birthplace of all American music, but it may well be the birthplace of the blues.

I blogged for a bit on IGN a few years back. I met some very nice people who were really great about commenting on my blogs, but the site itself isn't geared towards fostering a sense of community.

As for blog ideas, you're on your own. I'm having a hard time coming up with my own lately.

Much like the Irish, folk musicians use any excuse to party.

I remember there was a contest way back when where they asked people to design their own folk and the winner's folk would appear in the game or something like that. And that's all I remember about it, and I'd even forgotten about the game until you just brought it up.

Books! I love books!
