OLDIES MUSIC TRIVIA VI-The Final Challenge
Well, this is will be the final chapter of the Oldies Music Trivia challenge. I have alot going on in the summer; car shows, regular Vette maintenance stuff, gardening, vacations, wife assigned work details, and oh yes, my regular work. But, if enough of you all are interested, I might try to write some more this fall.
Hopefully, those of you that are into this type of nostalgia from the 50's, 60's, & 70's (like I am) found these questions (and answers too) somewhat entertaining, maybe a little informative, sometimes humorous, and of course a little challenging, but not impossible.
Again, thanks to the Forum Mods, & to all of you who submitted your answers. Great Job! Everyone Passed The Class! Hope you had fun and even passed them on to some of your friends & groups!
Here We Go! Have Fun & Good Luck!
