The Story is in the Song…

"Smoke on the Water" is a song by English rock band Deep Purple, released on their 1972 studio album Machine Head. The song's lyrics are based on true events, chronicling the 1971 fire at Montreux Casino in Montreux, Switzerland. It is considered the band's signature song and its guitar riff is considered to be one of the most iconic in rock history.

ginally written in 1934 for Adios, Argentina, an unproduced 20th Century Fox film musical, "Don't Fence Me In" was based on text by Robert Fletcher, a poet and engineer with the Department of Highways in Helena, Montana. Cole Porter, who had been asked to write a cowboy song for the 20th Century Fox musical, bought the poem from Fletcher for $250. Porter reworked Fletcher's poem, and when the song was first published, Porter was credited with sole authorship. Porter had wanted to give Fletcher co-authorship credit, but his publishers did not allow it. The original copyright publication notice dated October 10, 1944, and the copyright card dated and filed on October 12, 1944, in the U.S. Copyright Office solely lists words and music by Cole Porter. After the song became popular, however, Fletcher hired attorneys who negotiated his co-authorship credit in subsequent publications. Although it was one of the most popular songs of its time, Porter claimed it was his least favorite of his compositions.

Paint Your Wagons film,

I always liked that film.

Sometimes I watch a film so many times I have a hard time going back into it again though. I think there are parts I love and other parts I don't enjoy too much. So I have to give them some time.

World War I propaganda did not always appear in the form of posters encouraging citizens to do their part for the effort. In fact, the Great War spawned one of the most famous patriotic tunes in the history of the United States, Over There. Written by George M. Cohan immediately after Congress declared war against Germany, Over There was performed by a variety of groups in the United States. Its lyrics encouraged men to join the military and defeat the Germans.

I loved this movie about the famous song writer life,

Yes he did. I thought it was something different and interesting that Fogerty recorded it. Doc Watson also has a good version.
