does anyone recall a song, i dont know the correct title but  a close friend   of ours used to sing it, and i wold love to find the words and music for his widow m  i think he called it no 9 , but wether that was correct i dont know anyway part of it went  twas a cold winter night, not a star was in sight and the north wind came howling down the line, then came something about a young engineer and his sweetheart so dear  cant remember any more  but maybe some one does?

It sounds like "The Wreck Of The Old Number Nine."

Hi. I've emailed you the words. The song I located was recorded by Jim Reeves. Hope they help.

Hi Merrym
   I have The Wreck Of The Old No 9 on an LP by Jim Tobin,
  could make you a copy of that on tape if you would like.

Hiya,

Here's a trick for you. If you're trying to find a song and you know any of the lyrics, copy what you know into www.google.com and do a search - you'll invariably find song info, author, lyrics, guitar chords etc.. Often if I'm out & about and hear a song i like, I jot down as many of the words as I can make out and find it using this method when I get home..

Another nifty music-finding trick (again, assuming you have a PC and internet access).. Go to www.tunatic.com and download their little program. It "listens" to music you play from mp3 files, from the radio, even from your phone and tells you the title, artist, album etc. from a huge online database.. very handy for identifying those mp3's with names like TRACK01, TRACK 02 etc..

Now, if only I can find that elusive Midnight Well track...

Regards,
Gordon
