Try this link
Thank you so much for that link. I would've never known how to access my private topics, especially if my screenreader is so specific about what it recognizes.

how sad!! I've read that he had autism... I wonder if that contributed...?
I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, which by the way is the full name of the disability. Seizures aren't something that people like me would have, since I know a lot of people with this disability, and indeed they don't have seizures. Seizures are usually attributed to Epilepsy. Maybe they had Autism Spectrum Disorder and Epilepsy confused with each other.

I did but I quit.
Come on, UncleJoe, I wasn't trying to be mean to you at all. I was just making a true statement. Please, give me another chance.

Does anybody have any answers for me?

ON-MOUSE-OVER?? That CAN'T be a real word.....can it?
It is according to the scripting codes of my screen reader.

I wonder, where can I find the version that features the trumpet part from Ornette Coleman and the vocal part by Little Jimmy Scott? I've searched on ITunes, but the only one I can find is the version that was released on the soundtrack. Where do I turn?

did you check under "My Fusion"?
Unfortunately, my screenreader, JAWS (Job Access With Speech) 9.0 won't let me click on this link, even though it says on the screen that it's a Clickable Onmouseover Link.

Didn't there used to be a link on the homepage that would take members to their list of Private Topics? For some reason, I can't seem to find that link for me. Is it a possibility that it is a hidden link? Please let me know.

Here are the songfacts I contributed for the song, "Streets Of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. Please read these carefully and print them in their entirety for your next update.
In early 1993, Philadelphia director Jonathan Demme asked Springsteen to write a song for the in-progress film, and in June 1993, after the conclusion of the Other Band Tour, Springsteen did so. It was recorded with Springsteen supplying almost all of the instrumentation, with bass and background vocals from "Other Band" member Tommy Simms. An additional part by jazz trumpeter Ornette Coleman, as well as a background vocal part by jazz singer Little Jimmy Scott, was recorded but never used in the official release. Released as the main single from the film's original soundtrack, it became a huge success for Springsteen all over Europe and North America. The song would achieve greater popularity in Europe than it would in the United States. While it peaked at #9 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it would become a #1 single in Germany, and France. It would also peak at #2 in the United Kingdom, becoming Springsteen's highest charting hit in that country. It also peaked at #2 in Australia. Though Springsteen has only grown in popularity according to his album sales he has never achieved a #1 single, and this song was his last top ten hit. The music video for the song, directed by Jonathan Demme and his nephew, Ted Demme, begins by showing Springsteen walking along desolate city streets, followed by a bustling park and schoolyard, interspersed with footage from the film. After a quick shot of Rittenhouse Park, it ends with Springsteen walking along the Delaware River, with the Benjamin Franklin bridge in the background. The star of the film, Tom Hanks, is also visible as the character he plays, Andrew Beckett, looking on as Bruce begins the final verse. The vocal track for the video was rerecorded live during the shooting, using a hidden microphone, to a prerecorded instrumental track. This was a technique, appropriate for emotionally intense songs for which conventional video lip syncing would seem especially false, that John Mellencamp pioneered in his 1985 "Rain on the Scarecrow" video, and that Springsteen himself had used on his 1987 "Brilliant Disguise" video. Springsteen would also go on to use the same technique in his "Lonesome Day" video in 2002.

But babyteen, there is an email address for the school, and she is listed as an instructor. I'm sure the could forward an email along to her. It's certainly worth a try, yes?
I have actually sent an Email. Now I'm just waiting for an answer from Barbara. I hope she got the Email.

I tried that link you provided, but it only leads me to information about some kind of camp in Vermont.

The hospital stuff is fine; the rest is rather sickening. Surely you jest.
What's so sickening about ridding the world of knives and guns? Surely you'll come to your senses when everyone stops trying to kill each other. So, back to my original question. How would I contact Barbara? And, I'm confused. Is Barbara Blaisdell the same person as Barbara Hand?

Peace and harmony is a bit dull; it's just not human. Do something for the folks who have been impacted by the downturn in the economy.
Peace and harmony is all for a good cause! In fact, when I release a song that I've written, "Welcome Home To Philadelphia!", the proceeds from the single are going to the Thomas jefferson University Hospital, and to the Children's Hospital, both of which are in Philadelphia. I'm also going to parade down the streets with all my friends, and we're going to hold up banners that say, "No more wars! Let's get together and Unite as one. Let's get rid of all the knives and guns! Peace and harmony! Welcome home to Philadelphia!" How's that for a good deed?
-
Santa will come see you only if you've been good. Have you been good?
Why of course I have. All the good deeds I've done are always remembered. One of them is bringing peace and harmony into the world. I haven't done any bad deeds at all this year.

I googled for Sensible Shoes, I youtubed "Philadelphia", last scenes, Andrew, etc...
I would suggest you get the dvd and just copy the song into your computer...
I actually have put the DVD on my wish list at Amazon.com, and have asked my Dad if he'll buy it for me for Christmas this year.
-
It looks like the soundtrack doesn´t list that song... well, at least I couldn´t find it on the amazon links to the album...
I found this strange site... http://www.scene-track.com/artist.php?artistid=991 but I ignore if it´s a sng to download or what...
The only thing it lists is information. I'm looking for where to actually find the song. Since I've searched ITunes, and nothing's there!
-
You can try contacting Barbara Blaisdell. She co-wrote and performed the song.
Do you have any contact information for her? A Mailing Address? A Phone Number? An Email Address?
-
It's my understanding it was an original for the movie only. Do you have conflicting info?
Can you explain what you mean when you say, "Conflicting info"?
-
I'm looking for the song, "Yes Means Yes", by sensible Shoes. I can remember it was played in "Philadelphia", in the scene where Tom Hanks' character, Andrew, steps out of a taxi. I'm looking for the full version of this song, but I can't find it anywhere. I've even searched on ITunes, and it's not there! Where do I turn?
-
Call again. Insist...
When I contacted them, it was actually via Email.
-
I've even contacted ABC, the channel that broadcasts General Hospital, and they still haven't got back to me yet.

Why don't you search around the forums at adtunes.com and see if they can help you.
I would do that. However, I would have to be a registered member to post a question. That part is not easy for me because they ask you to enter a security code of characters that appears in an image. Since my screenreader does not recognize images, it can't even read the characters on the screen! Those characters have to be text-based, which is almost impossible for some companies, without having to work for hours and hours upon hours writing text-based scripts for the images.
-
I tried that forum, and it didn't help at all. Do you have any other suggestions?
-
Don't bother with that. Go here: Pace Foods homepage , go to the contact page, and ask them if they have the commercial you seek on file.
I went to that page and contacted the company, and here's what they said to me.
Dear Annabelle, we received your message and appreciate your taking the time to contact Campbell Soup Company.
Unfortunately, our archives do not reflect an advertisement such as the one you described. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Thank you for visiting the Pace Foods website.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia
in Questions and Answers
Posted
If you've ever watched or listened to the movie "Philadelphia", which I happen to have on DVD, about halfway through, in a scene where Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington's characters, Andrew Beckett and Joe Miller, respectively, are talking to each other privately in a room, if you listen carefully, you can hear part of one of the earliest recordings of Bruce Springsteen's "Streets Of Philadelphia" which features the vocal part by Little Jimmy Scott. As for Ornette Coleman's part, I haven't heard that part yet, but I'd sure love to find out what it sounds like.
