I made this up for the Twangfest side list. I guess I made it too hard,
so I'm bouncing it to P2 as well. I hope to do quizzes every now and
again, prizes of dubious nature to be awarded at TF. Don't worry if you
think there's too many 80's tunes here. Future quizzes will draw heavily
from different eras and genres.
Have fun! And Oh yeh- please post back to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
instead of list. Answers monday...
