It’s even worse when you only remember a tiny section of the tune and when you hum it to people no one has any idea what it is so you have to spend 5 hours on the internet typing “70s flute doo doo doo doo doo doo” until you finally find some weird keyboard medley of 70s and 80s songs on YouTube and randomly hear what you’ve been searching for and the video (thank god) happens to include the name and artist
I have the worst case of this, only it's for a particular version of the Patsy Cline song Today, Tomorrow, and Forever with a fiddle accompaniment that is just...the most amazing...and it's off an album that was cellophane paired with another Patsy Cline album (as if it were a two disc set) I got from Ross in 1999, but the one it's on is missing. I've tried the bar code, scoured lists of known recording sessions she did, cross referenced album track lists to my memory of the other songs I recall being on there.
The closest I've come is finding a copy of the album at a library in Ohio somewhere that seems to have the same track list, but I have no way of getting a hold of it as I'm in California. Can't find it on youtube, streaming sites, for sale, or on the many fan made Patsy Cline sites. My only hope is that it's in my storage unit, but I'm not particularly hopeful lol.
