so how did you go about finding out what that wonderful tune was you heard somewhere before the days when you could come on here, where all mysteries are rendered unmysterious? by accident or design? are there still mysteries that even your network of know-it-all cyberfriends can't help you with?
i was in a GAP in jackson, miss., in '89, '90 or so and heard something in there that was unlike anything else i'd heard (and there was a lot i'd never heard growing up in mississippi). totally dreamy. had no idea what it was. stores like that had tapes they'd play on loops and i thought about asking an employee if they had a list of whatever was on that tape, but i was too shy and didn't. so it was a mystery. until several years later when i picked up a tape out of one of camelot records' few remaining cutout cassette bins. the tune was "carolyn's fingers." ha! mystery solved! by accident. but enough about me.
