Not a request this time, just one that happened to be in the log this morning. Leon Russell’s “Roll Away The Stone”.
Mike Jeffreys used to use the first few seconds of this song as a sting, and I’m sure that I heard Rush Limbaugh use it as some stage last week. It’s the thing which irritates me about stings extracted from songs…there is almost no way to identify the song if you don’t already know the song. That said, I vaguely recall hearing about an iPhone app (of which I assume there are non-iPhone clones) which can identify songs if you give it a sample of the song…I should try that on a few stings if I can find such a service, which would require me to actually look for a service.
In the meantime, I love the 2QN playlist as it seems to be chock full of songs I like, and songs to which I have been trying to put a name and artist for a while.
