Question
I was listening to the Blues on XM while working on the computer, and heard a song but not title or artist was given. Was wondering if you might be able to id this tune and artist? All I know is, the lyrics repeated "No more free ride, got to pay your own way." Excellent music and would love to get an artist name to purchase the music.
Thanks for any and all your help.
Lee

Answer
Hello Lee,

Go to the XM Radio web site for the channel you listen to, give them the time you listened, and the date. Ask them to check the "Queue Sheet" for the name and artist of the song. The Queue sheet is the log book of songs played. They should be able to give you that info. I hope this helps! Regards, George
