    This one I was not familiar with. It took some searching. Nice choice. The location is New Park Cemetery, the final resting ground for Johnny Ace.

    Mojo, it might just be you and me keeping the thread alive.

    "Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train..."

    The image is Richmond and appropriately so.

    Whoops, sorry for another musical post. But at least it has historical references.

    All I've got is that it is an East coast port. Deep water due to the large cargo ship. It is some kind of monument. The music connection has got me again.

    Might need a clue on this one.

    Jimmy Horton got the grammy for the song Battle of New Orleans. (So, we took a little trip, down the mighty Mississip...)

    How about the Federal Reserve! washington dc - Google Maps

    (Took some searching around DC. The image looked and smelled of DC but I didn't recognize the building.)

    Sorry, but Mojo, you are evidently wrong. At least one song was written, see The Federal Reserve Song - Gold & Silver Forum

    Unfortunately, with Google it is difficult to make a good hint without giving it away. So I'll have to be obtuse.

    The quote is mangled as "..., I have no separation now..."

    Me too, I just spent the good part of a night going through the thread.. now I'm hooked but Tennyson references do me no good :)

    I have a few good ones to add if I can find one first.
