OLD 55 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Posted August 19, 2005 Hi Diggs and Laurie. Think laterally - that was a bit of a cryptic clue. No, "can of worms" was just an expression - no clue in that. Laurie, what's this about a tornado?
_Laurie_ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 no time for tornados...i'm on a mission LOL.... j/k western ny is under a tornado watch until 10pm
OLD 55 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Posted August 19, 2005 I hope everything goes well and it fizzes out. I'd suggest treat this like a "things in common" for the Band names. What do "Asia" and "Nazareth" have in common? Then find a Band that fits that category.
OLD 55 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Posted August 19, 2005 Hi All. Zeroing in on it ! I wonder who'll get it. BTW I forgot to say it's jackpotted to 8 Points. :guitar:
_jr_ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 The Grass Roots? King Harvest? A wild guess.
OLD 55 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 Nice try Shawna. You're on the right track - it's a place name, ONE word and DiggsUK would know it by now if he was still around I'm sure. ::
_jr_ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 :)I'm just happy to actually be playing. I missed a bunch of rounds. ::
OLD 55 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 Hope you're OK jr? It's good to have you playing. I know "English" was a favorite subject of yours in your school days. Now if you'd just done "Geography Of The British Isles"........ CLUE: Maybe google for "origins of Band names"?
_jr_ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Oh, yes, I'm fine. It's just i'm usually at work during the time you're here. Friday is my day off, though. Ok, so let's see....Think laterally. One word name. A place. The British Isles. So, London is darn near at 0 degrees latitude on my world map. Was there ever a band called London?
OLD 55 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 That's good! I don't know of any Band called London. This is more obscure. It's an island off the English Coast. I just found you can only get there when the tide's right. The Group actually hailed from the mainland near there. Who knows - this may come up in a game of Trivial Pursuit one day. I'll store that away with my wealth of knowledge that I'm 99% unlikely to use. Everyone to their ATLAS Quick!
_jr_ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Skye? ( was going to copy and paste all 49 listed, but I thought that might be a bit much, since we've practically been handed this one. And we're supposed to be music gurus.. LOLOL)
Brad_M Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I give up. My mind is going haywire. Someone get it already!
OLD 55 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 Not Skye. PLEASE go ahead and copy and paste. The "2 per post" rule is waived for this Question. We need to move on. I'll make the next question an easy one.
