THE NEW 'OLDIES' NAME GAME (Pre 1980)

[Brad_M]

Why don't you just fill out all 20 at one time instead of responding to yourself over and over again?

Because it's a game for anyone to join in at any time and we always post one answer at a time to give someone else a chance to jump in the game.

Even though no one has joined in this one yet, I don't want to let it sit idle, either.

Usually many people play along, but I guess no one wants to play this round.

It was a great show! :guitar:
