about Susquehanna River
I went to Millersville State College 1979-1983. I saw Susquehanna River Band several times.
They had an album I would love to have.
I got to your web site mahalo answers by a google search looking for Susquehanna River Band. Your info about the Susquehanna River was very good. It is not what I was looking for but who knowes. I now live in Florida and do not have a way to get up to PA.
There was one song that I would like to have "Horses Don't Like Fat Cowboys."
Susq River Band played a combo of Country -Classic - Southern Rock - Semi Bluegrass like Little Feat a mix of a lot of different types.
Any help would be great. I do not have any idea how use Facebook or Twitter or what a tag is. Normal email is it.

Okay, bear with me, this may be a little complicated. I think the song you're looking for is on the album for sale here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370335462166&rvr_id=&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=WXF%3F&GUID=d9d314491260a0267703f163ffe42c1a&itemid=370335462166&ff4=263602_263622
Their picture is really blurry, but it does look like your song may be the 3rd track on side 1. The LP is autographed, and selling for about $50, plus shipping. If you'd be willing to pay that much, you should sign up for ebay (if you don't already have an account). If you look on the right side of that screen, there's a link that says "ask a question". Click on that, sign in (if you haven't already) and ask the seller for a track listing.
As I've said, I think this is the right album. I'm basing that on more than the extremely blurry picture of the back cover track listing. I know the song you've mentioned isn't on the Susquehanna River Band II album (which I assume is the second one they put out). You can see the track listing for that one in my source link below. That album came out in 1983, and the one for sale on ebay is from 1980. Assuming I'm right, any other albums would be too recent to be the one you're thinking of. You should still check with the seller before buying, though.
The fact that there's only 1 copy of one album of this band in worldcat (a combined catalog of most libraries in the country), and I couldn't find anything in gemm (a database of a large number of lp/music stores' stock), makes me think this is a pretty uncommon recording. If you really want it, and it turns out that this is the album you're looking for, you should probably go ahead and buy this copy.
Otherwise, you can try contacting record stores in PA (you can probably find phone numbers or email addresses for some online--ask us if you need help with that). The closer they are to this band's old stomping grounds, the more likely they'll be to have a copy in stock. Also, just because none of the gemm sellers have it now, that doesn't mean they won't later on. It doesn't hurt to check every once in a while (that goes for ebay, too--someone else may try to sell a copy there eventually).
Hope this helps. If there's anything else we can do, just ask.

A friend of mine recently made me aware of this band and told me he has one of their albums that he just let me borrow. My plan is to transfer the songs to the computer so that I have digital files. I'd be more than willing to help you out with what you are looking for. By the way the second track on the self titled album is Horses Don't Like Fat Cowboys. I grew up here in Lancaster and thought it was cool to see the band pictured on the back of the album at The Lancaster Dispensing Company. My email is grtfldead1965@gmail.com.
