Well hell I’m late to the party. I could have actually answered this one. Thanks Rick. Question for you, what’s the name of my boyfriends band I tried to get you to see and sign?
Hey Paula!
First and foremost, it’s simply fantastic seeing you here on the site! I hope you make SMS a regular part of your Tuesday routine, or any day for that matter!
But please don’t be a stranger!… Regarding “Your boyfriends band”. I sure wish I could, I don’t even want think about how many years ago that was…But it was if the 70’s I’m sure! So please put me out of my misery and fill me in!
Meanwhile, last we talked I believe you said you come up to the Vally occasionally, if that’s still the case and once this Covid thing levels out perhaps we could meet for a cup of coffee or lunch?
Most importantly I hope you’re happy and STAYING HEALTHY!
Please give my best regards to the rest of the family and I hope we can talk sometime!
Cheers
Rick

Hey Paula!

Every time I come here I learn something from all of you Music Geniuses. This time I am blown away – I had absolutely no idea! Incredible.
To save face, I am going to play the age card. I think I am too young to know this one, hehe.
Doranney! Well, I guess you can play “The Age Card” But, just this once..O.K ? We both know your history and musical knowledge, so only ONCE!
Thank you Doranney…

Hey Jeffrey,
I had a feeling you’d jump on this one! And good question about Art having a song in Carnal Knowledge! And in that regard, I don’’t believe he had a song in “Catch 22 either! Although I have this random memory of Art’s cover of “I only have eye’s for you being featured in some film or T.V. Program…Ring any bells?
Thanx J C, always great when you drop in!
Cheers,

Hey Ed!
Great to see you back once more! You pretty much had the question including Tom and Jerry’s ’ “Hey School Girl” Most folks mistakenly refer to it as “Hey “Little” School BUT NOT YOU… Unfortunately, for you this week Another long time SMS “Super Genius” Steve Winogradsky beat you in by about 40 minutes!
Always great to see you Ed!
Cheers,
Rick
on question 5… didn’t the song also needed to be named in the answer to question 4?
Hey Ed,
Yes, I believe your right, but I have to accept responsibility on this! Questions 4 and 5 shoulde be only one guest ion!
I had a tricky time getting the exact wording right on all the elements to this weeks Quiz! Thanx for catching that bit of ambiguity!

Cheers,
Rick
