$1.05

ok, so....last evening, my spouse asked me to help him find a song he heard on wuky in its adult rock segment...it was an updated version of the oldie walk away renee, which was 1st recorded by a group called the left banke in 1966.... we located the song in the playlist section of the station's website, which listed the song as a duet: peppino d'agostonia/david wilcox.....and we immediately clicked on the buy at amazon button conveniently located after every song on the playlist.....to no avail.....the amazon clicked came up empty.....rats.....and so we moved on to google, searching for the song title, for the duet, and then with the individual performers.....with little success......and then we started in searching itunes for the performers......and then other download-for-money sources..........an hour into the quest, we scored a 99 cent download on amazon....for peppino d'agostonia.......and we are unclear if it is actually peppino singing, as the youtube videos we watched were of his guitar skills rather than his singing...and the harmonizing voice was of a woman....and so we wonder if this david wilcox was the singer on the piece, as originally listed on wuky's playlist.....despite the fact that we could find no download for poor david......yikes.....an hour of our time is worth more than the $1.05 (including tax) that we paid for this song....i would have given up if it were not for my desire to find this song for my spouse.....and one would think that those who promote music would go out of their way to make music immediately findable to those keen on buying it....
