GOT IT! Found it on my own.
"Between the Lines" by Janis Ian from the album with the same name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocvXsRTp9MU

I don't remember very many Melanie songs and the mystery song sounded very familiar. I do like the Nickle Song but haven't heard it before. It is a little more light-hearted than what I'm looking...

No you're getting pretty far afield. Think of a voice more like Melanie Safka.

That is close! The flavor is right, tempo a little fast. I like this song; the strings and brass are nice. Is that a banjo or a mando behind the vocalists most of the time?

I visited my dentist as promised (That's where I heard this song, if you remember). That was no help other than they thought maybe the singer sounded a little like Carole King. They have the song...

Interesting--that's not it.

Be happy to but it will come out, "Those Were the Days" which is my whole problem. Whatever I do to remember the tune or lyrics morphs into TWTD.

None of the above. Tell you what. Monday I'll march back to my dentist. There're five people working there who listen to oldies (including the mystery song) all day. I shall interrogate them...

Another good guess. Not it but it has the right attitude.
Thanks,

Heard it in a dentist's chair in Wisconsin. It was playing fairly quietly and I just heard enough to think, "There's a good old tune".

That's a good song but it's not it. Just a bit too lively. It has the folk sound and the vocalist has almost the right sound.
Thanks, Jim U

Not an ABBA song. The mood is too upbeat and the ABBA girls have voices that are way too sweet and clear. Remember that I said that the tempo picks up a lot during the last eight bars of the chorus...

Not "Those Were the Days" it comes close, though. Melanie has about the right thickness in her voice and the tempo is right but it's not "Look What They've Done to My Song". Good tries.
Thanks...

Nope. Song in question isn't a bit country. I think vocalist has sadder and more husky voice than Lynn.
Thanks for trying,

Heard on a PA and can't remember all of it. Female vocal (thick alto voice) about making the best of life. I get a mental block because "Those Were the Days" lyrics jump into my head. This one has...
