I am doing my Chain early this week so I don't get caught out. Last week Uncle Bertie chose Canadian Pacific…that made me think about songs about oceans and the sea….there are lots of those of course. Its very difficult to choose between them ….and even more difficult to decide which of the seas is our favourite….then we remembered that we don't have to choose and we can have all of them. So this week we have chose Seven Seas by Echo and the Bunnymen.

We av looked at da maps n used geography fer our linky dis week. George Hamilton IV wuz born in North Carolina n later moved to Tennessee dese two states border da north of Georgia. Athens Georgia is famous fer bein da hometown of R.E.M n also the B-52's. Our linky dis week is da B-52's wiv Planet Claire fwom deir bwilliant debut LP. Geographically dis is close to Tennessee but musically dis is is light years away fwom da Nashville sound. If you're goin to bowwow a tune den make it a gud one n dis bowwows heavily fwom Henry Mancini's excellent Peter Gunn Theme. Featurin da exotic lukin Kate n Cindy tho not showcasin deir gawjuss singin ere's The B-52's "Planet Claire":

Last week Bertie did win with " Canadian Pacific ". Congrats on a great linky. Had never heard this song but when I listened it was to me a traveling love song. This is my favorite traveling love song. " Boulder to Birmingham".

Another week on Lexieschain congratulations to Bertie a great choice and a song I didn't know. The lyrics are about an epic journey to the arms of a beloved. I have been listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen this week as I was lucky enough to see him live last weekend. My favourite Bruce album is Nebraska his LoFi album from 1982. There is a song on that about a long road journey back into the arms of the lovely Wanda. This song contains descriptions of a North American industrial landscape and is very atmospheric. So the link is journeys to the arms of a loved one and my song is Open All Night by Bruce Springsteen from the Nebrasaka album. Good luck everyone.

Congrats, Bertie! So we come back to Canada and train songs. But nah me fink me finds some different linky... Me finking dat George Hamilton is American country singer and he did appear in da musical “Patsy” about Patsy Cline. Two ob Patsy Cline’s biggest hits I Fall To Pieces and Crazy did be written by Willie Nelson. Many famous songs dat was big hits fur some country artists did be written by Willie Nelson but me gib you a song by Toby Keith dat was written ABOUT Willie Nelson. It called “I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again”!

Well done Bertie on your win last week much deserved. Thinking about George Hamilton with Canadian Pacific I started to link country music with long journeys in big countries. Canada is a big country which takes me with a hop skip and a jump to the Scottish band Big Country. My link shall be their hit "In a Big Country" which scored it's highest chart position in Canada.

Well done Bertie wiv Canadian Paific. I as chosen Letter from America by The Proclaimers, a song about long journeys and the Scots history of emigration to America and Canada to start new lives following the highland clearances.
An da winner ............... as chosen by Bertie .............. dus be ........... oh ...... me again! Yay! Well done me haha! Oh an dat means ma dad will be selectin the winner next week.
Ere wot Bertie said: they were all great links deserving of time and consideration and it was tough, because I did not know any of them I wanted to hear them twice. I finally settled on number 8, Letter from America as being my favourite both for the song and for the reasoning behind the choice. Well done everyone for introducing me to new (to me) songs.
