I suppose I can afford to wait until a better deal comes along. There's still a bit of life left in the 4 year old+ Hewlett-Packard Pavilion a6230n I'm currently using.

Is this the song you are looking for? "The song played in this trailer is "Trouble Blues" by Lightnin' Hopkins"

Well, I have to say I am impressed. Took the two pairs of shorts I bought Sat. back to Penney's for exchange, and found two more pair that actually fit. I spent about five dollars more on the new ones...but the saleslady even exchanged them anyway. I TOLD her I'd be glad to pay the difference but she wouldn't let me. Not that I'm complaining...
At the moment I'm waiting for iTunes (don't groan, y'all, I used to be the same way) to finish finding album art for the music folders I pointed it at. Then I'm going to consolidate album info. I tried this with Windows Media Player and got the biggest mess I've ever seen. At least iTunes will let me actually edit what tracks go on which album, which WMP seemed to think wasn't necessary....

No, I took the train. I don't like to ride in downtown Osaka. Too many traffic jams and no space to split lanes. And I was actually hoping for a power outage on the train so I could have a legitimate excuse for just reading all afternoon!

I was tempted to pick up one of the new 3 terabyte externals, now coming with USB.3! but I'm already overloaded with storage... Now there are 6 externals on my machine, each at least 1.5 tera... and most are only partially filled.

Deb's song solution came from the "about" info on the original video.

Earl infections are super painful, I've had a few myself. My mum used to put a few drops of warmed extra-virgin olive oil into my ear as a home remedy. I hope you feel better soon.

I went to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie - and I highly recommend it - it's beautifully done - combining tales from 3 of the story collections. I have a few quibbles with some of the voice actors - but I'm hopelessly addicted to the original versions. The art work is magnificent, and the inclusion of the book pages into the story is hilarious!
[if you do go - stay through the credits - the movie continues for a bit to wrap up a story line]

My particular theater played 15 coming attraction trailers first - even the toddlers began booing!
They don't show it here!

I thought she was looking for the song on this screen test, which isn't the same song?

@Deb, Sneaky & Orly
That's the problem: there are two variants of the screen test with the various actors posing for the camera in their own little promos (or together), one variant plays Hopkins's Trouble BLues whereas the other plays my mystery song.
Although Trouble Blues is listed as the song under my variant, if you listen to the two songs, it's clearly not the same.
I'm so stumped.
This has never happened before: not to be able to find a song by its lyrics...
Thanks for keeping a lookout. If you happen to come across it I shall be forever grateful.
