Yuck
How many different notes does the melody of this song have?  Four?  Five?  It's not only a lousy song; it's not even folk music.  It's trashy rock. I was thinking of becoming a member of Folk Alley, but now I'm not so sure.  Donna the Buffalo came on the heels of a miserable set of music that included the insulting "Remember Song" by Chuck Pyle (not funny if you have anyone in your family with Alzheimer's disease), a truly awful rock number by "Batdorf and Rodney" (whoever they are), a country/rock number by Darrell Scott, and another weak humor song by Livingston Taylor.

Donna the Buffalo
Gosh, sorry you didn't like the song....I found it refreshing and interesting- loved the harmonies and complexities. And if you take everything personally- you'll never find anything amusing. Humor is bound to step on someone's feelings somewhere- if it didn't it would be bland and boring. Perhaps FolkAlley ain't for you- you might try a Clear Channel station, they might play music better suited to your taste. -Leslie

"All the Time" - Donna The Buffalo (Sugar Hill)
Gotta say it has a nice, easy walking beat. Sweet song. I like the innocences and vulnerability in her voice. Sounds like something I might hear some evening from a country neighbor's front porch while out taking in the evening air.

re: Yuck
Mark, I am guessing that this station may not be right for you as previously suggested. I listen to this staion every day at work, and maybe I hear one song or so, per day, that is not for me, but I would not make a truely negative coment about it. For you to hear a set of 4 or 5 songs in a row that did not meet your standards would suggest that you might be listening to the wrong station. I actually did like the song very much, and I see the rating is very good too, so others aparently share this view. Please play more of it.

More rock than folk
This is definitely more rock than folk. Sure, it's kind of nice... if you like rock music. But it is not a folk tune, not even a folk-rock in the vein of Springsteen. There are a lot of folk groups and even more rock groups. You can not cover everyone. So a little focus allows for more depth. Let's focus on folk!
