You could try here: http://www.crytough.com/manasseh.html
It's a long shot and a lotta listening as I am finding out! - I am also looking for a tune probably heard on a Mannaseh show too.....I'm sure I have it on cassette tape somewhere!

Hey no problems.
I'm chuffed to have found the manasseh site - it's taken me right back, if made me feel old! I can't believe it was 20 years ago I listened to the shows first time around.

I've started a thread on here for the tune I am looking for, it's got these lyrics:
"There is a green land, far far away, without a city wall"

It isn't a version of the well known satta massa gana, with similar lyrics, which is what most leads come up with. But I am enjoying the search! Good luck with yours.

Hey thanks DWick - it is very similar lyrics but sadly not the same song. Thanks for trying!
Sorry Peter I seem to have hijacked your thread now!
