And, the obviously difficult question was: We asked you which classic Beatle record included brief musical references to at least three other well know compositions? The answer is: “All You Need Is Love” includes musical references to 1) The French National Anthem, 2) Greensleeves and 3) In The Mood Yep! And the only reader in the known world to answer last weeks question correctly was Larry in Munich!…Way to go Larry! And you’re the only one! But a handsome guy like you has probably heard that plenty of times! And we believe this is the third week in a row! HELL YEAH Mr. Larry!
But now! It’s time for this week’s new Trivia Quiz! and this week it’s all about the lyrics!

Stayin’ by Bobby Vee aka Robert Thomas Velline
Rubber Ball
Take Good Care of My Baby
Devil or Angel
Sidebar:
Because Bobby sounded so much like Buddy Holly ( and was from nearby Fargo ND) he was recruited to replace Buddy Holly at the Winter Dance Party in Morehead MN after Buddy’s untimely death in a plane crash.
btw- Bobby had an unusual guitarist in his band. A young Bobby Zimmerman (we know how he turned out) xo
oops forgot the other “In”
Stayin’ In
Hey John, we wondered where the in went?
btw, is there any truth to the rumor that Bobby Vee bought a hotel with his earning’s from “Stayin In”” He, of course, called the hotel “Bobby Vee’s “Stayin’ In Inn”
I think that’s how the story goes!
All my best…
Rick
Hey John,
Great to see you and yeah quite an unusual pairing Bobby and “Elston Gunn” ( The name Mr. Zimmerman adopted in those times!
And here’s a bit more insight to the unusual collaboration…. Elston actually played piano in Bobby V’s band AND he could only play in the key of “C” go figure?
Always great when you drop by!
