FYI, as of right now, after grading the above submitted quiz papers; in no particular order; one person scored 100% correct, one person missed only one, and one person missed five. Rather than post the answers now, I'll let everybody get a fair chance for a few days, since not everyone can be on-line and work on these at the same time...
Glad you like them...

I believe MTB has a new album or it will be out soon.
The Marshall Tucker Band was another one of the truly influential Southern Rock bands of the 70's. "Heard It in a Love Song", "Fire on the Mountain" , etc are true classics.

Harry Chapin was/is one of my favourites. When he died he was driving a VW Bug. "WOLD" is a great song amongst his many fine ballads. "Taxi" reminds me of my first teenage love that went in a wrong direction when she married my best friend. And I went off to college and university. After a two kids and a divorce she came back to find me some 30 years later. And did. But whatever we had once was gone. Plus there was a little explaining to do to my Wife of 25 years....

Hats off to Nassau66427 who got them all correct A+. Nice job, you really know your Oldies stuff! 
Also congrats to GA67Terp & mdz06vetter who each only missed one, and to all of you that strained your brains to remember a long past favorite group or song.
This Friday will be the final Oldies Music Trivia Quiz (VI). My brain is running out of good original material.
I do appreciate the moderators allowing this off topic post to run unabated for this long, but it was done strictly for fun for all of you & me. I may do a repost over in the OT side (if I don't get attacked by the kids over there). That's why I wanted to give my buddies here in the C1 & C2 Forum first shot at them, since I felt most of the great people who own a classic Vette would enjoy them the most!

Also congrats to GA67Terp & mdz06vetter who each only missed one, and to all of you that strained your brains to remember a long past favorite group or song.
This Friday will be the final Oldies Music Trivia Quiz (VI). My brain is running out of good original material.
I do appreciate the moderators allowing this off topic post to run unabated for this long, but it was done strictly for fun for all of you & me. I may do a repost over in the OT side (if I don't get attacked by the kids over there). That's why I wanted to give my buddies here in the C1 & C2 Forum first shot at them, since I felt most of the great people who own a classic Vette would enjoy them the most!
