<p>[quote user="rixflix"]</p> <p>Bucyrus,</p> <p>I know, I know. "She's gone everywhere but home". Rush's version was sort of an amalgam of Bukka Whites "Special Streamline" and "Panama Limited" and Rush is playing it to this day. Ya know, the white rock bands always got debits for reaping the royalties that the original artists never dreamed of. But thanks to the folkies.the Brits. the Bluegrrass people, alot of rockers (think Mickey Hart from The Dead and Bob Hite of Canned Heat), the R&B and Jazz stations, like WPFW Pacifica here in DC for keeping some of their careers and all those "originals" alive.</p> <p>Gonna have to pick up the Lightfoot too and always admired his "If I Could Read Your Mind".</p> <p>Wow, what a "rush", John Prine, Leo Kottke's "Tiny Island", and dear Steve Goodman who died too young.</p> <p>RIX</p> <p>"</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is <em>Panama Limited</em> by Bukka White. </span></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS1JMdvvd7w&feature=related"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS1JMdvvd7w&feature=related</span></span></a></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is different from the Tom Rush rendition as you mentioned it was. I was always a Tom Rush fan, and I just stumbled across his <em>Panama Limited</em> on Youtube. I like those train songs that put a train into a larger emotional context of everyday life. There is a lot of "movin' on" theme to many train songs. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is Bukka White's <em>Speical Streamline</em> that makes up half that Tom Rush amalgam:</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHsRrq1i0lo&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHsRrq1i0lo&NR=1</a></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
