My chapter of the Kiwanis club does a show each year in which we use a very bad recording of an upbeat Beatrice Kaye (I believe) song that has a chorus that goes something like "I didn't know the gun was loaded..... And I'll never, ever do it again." We would like to get a clean copy of it before our next show in early March. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I could be wrong, but something tells me this request has George Wright all over it. Rich (Message edited by richbass939 on January 19, 2006) | ||

Sorry, Rich :-(. I have a lot o' old material, but.... Well, I guess that's just not my demographic :-)! And speaking of not my demographic, I just did a search of MusicMatch and found "I Didn't Know That Funk Was Loaded" by George Clinton. Do you think that would be close enough :-)? | ||

Thanks, George. Somehow I think the guys would not want to substitute George Clinton for Beatrice Kaye. I have my feelers out to a website that sells old radio shows, including some Beatrice Kaye stuff. I think maybe we'll get lucky pretty soon. Rich | ||

Are you talking about George Wright the pipe organ player? If so I will talk to my father about this to see if he has heard of it and getting you a copy. | ||

Call me self-centered, but I thought he was talking about ME :-)(not the theater organist or the baseball hall-of-famer (with double-parenthesized apologies to all you non-US readers)). Anyway, Rich, I emailed a friend of mine with an iTunes subscription to see if he can find something there. | ||

Did you already search Google for I didn't know the gun was loaded..... And I'll never, ever do it again There's lots of matches, and some of them even appear to be relevant! | ||

Heard back from my iTunes-capable friend. There are two versions on iTunes. One is by the Andrew Sisters off their "Andrew Sisters: 50th Anniversary Collection, Vol. 2" album and the other is by The Ray Ellington Quartet off their "The Three Bears" album. Edit: Rich, why not email me direct at geo@loyola.edu? Somehow I think this isn't the most thrilling thread for the rest of the board. You want me to try to get one/both?

I thought about a search but figured I'ld be swamped in links to court case transcripts! | ||

George, what? Everyone doesn't find this topic as riveting as I do? Also, let's not forget the George Wright who's a natural foods purchasing agent in Denver. I'm sure we all know him ... or not. One thing I've found while googling is that a song with that name has been recorded by at least three different artists. Our Kiwanis club wants the exact same recording. I have some e-mails out to a couple of people who sell these old recordings. One of them is Wright Record Co. We still have some time so we'll see what turns up. I'll e-mail you, George. Dave, I saw all the court cases, too. You are exactly Wright about the results of that kind of search. Thanks for all the help everybody. Rich |
