    Hint: It's bluegrass and old. If I put up anymore lyrics, it would give away the title.

    how 'bout:

    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    Its got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    See how it sings like a sad heart
    And joyously screams out its pain
    Sounds that build high like a mountain
    Or notes that fall gently like rain

    Too easy. I'm not even going to say, but it's a song from a northern band. Who can get this one? You'll only get one distant early warning.

    How many years did I play "Rocky Top" six nights a week? I am ashamed I couldn't remember it. Is this what happens in old age or is something else affecting my memory?

    Good job t_ross.
