Earth-Angel Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Congrats Edna! That's brilliant! You're what people in the UK call a "swot", I think that means you're really smart when it comes to stuff, in this case - music!
edna Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Thank you everybody for bearing me! This is more than a game... it´s Songfacts!
Foxy Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I wish I had been smart enought to partake a little more!
edna Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Here´s another old 55 for Old55... And now? Don´t think that as the quiz is officially over we´ll forget about it... nor about you! your quiz has been a great and funny way to play all together and learn... Thank you for sharing, 55! I found your mail adress, I already mailed you... you decide what´s the prize... if I can call it like this... The real prize is being able to share... Edited September 1, 2005 by Guest
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Darryl, what started out as a small way to keep us youngsters in line by quizzing us turned into a true phenomenon. I can't imagine the time and effort you've put into this. Your generosity and knowledge is humbling. When I eventually win on Jeopardy, I'm sure it will be because a music question will come up and I'll know the answer because of your quiz. Hugs and kisses to you, my sweet Darryl.
Shawna Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I wish I had been smart enought to partake a little more! My sentiments exactly. But I did truly enjoy the times I was able to! Thanks 55! It's been a gas gas gas.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 It's been a gas gas gas. Jumping Jack Flash - The Stones What do you mean the quiz is over? I want my points!
miamisammy29 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Installation and Modifications: Nikos Dimopoulos. Now this guy's got GUTS ! I wouldn't put my name to it.
_Laurie_ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 just trying out my first image...hope it works... wonder who this group is?
edna Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Badfinger! Where´s my participation point???
miamisammy29 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 It should make for an exciting finish in this, my last Quiz. What? That's it? I was just about to make a big comeback. Thanks, 55. You are the most righteous dude ever, man! And congratulations, Edna, on a finely played game.
miamisammy29 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 That group is Derek and the Dominos, I believe. Is that one dude not Clapton?
edna Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 AC/DC...? Aerosmith? Badfinger? Cream? Creedence Clearwater revival? Damned? Elephant´s Memory? Elton John?
Levis Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Quiz withdrawal symptoms already? I had great fun gathering points even though I knew almost nothing! But I had great fun! I'm going to miss le Quiz! Congratulations Edna! your winning is not a surprise... close race though. (nail biting, teeth grinding, hands shaking... but not all at once)
_Laurie_ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Edna you rock!...of course that's Badfinger.... Sammy welcome back!......55, give Sammy comeback points, coz he rocks too! I'm surprised Clapton isn't with these dudes, he played with eveybody else...geesh. Edited September 1, 2005 by Guest
OLD 55 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 Hugs and kisses to you, my sweet Darryl. Thank you my dear Georgia Peach. You're a good guy Sammy. Good on you Shawna and Levis for having a go, Katie and angel (thanks for your kind words Sue), and of course all my other friends whom I may not have acknowledged personally, some I already have- Brad for that award he presented me with, Joe I exchange Emails with....love you all. The Quiz couldn't have existed without all of you. Like the Bond Movie "Never Say Never Again". We might resurrect it some time in the future. I AM going to put on a Music Crossword soon. I was working on it last night (now that "Lost" has finished for the season). It's a lot tougher to do than I thought, but it's nearly ready - pretty amateurish though.
Brad_M Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Congratulations on your win, Edna. You sure played a good game! You and all other participants were great competitors in the quiz. I had a great time! Bring on that crossword, Darryl!

_Laurie_ Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 that's pretty cool 55...i'll try and work on it tomorrow, when i'm not so tired...but there's one problem, i cant' seem to fit "BADFINGER" in there anywhere.. can you believe that jr pickin on me...
edna Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Darryl! Thank you!! The Crossword! I knew you would miss us just as we all would have missed you!! I´m going to give it a try... ...and I think you deserve a title, something like "EntretainerFish" or so... In any case, it´s good to have you back... I log in at 7 or 8 AM and would feel strange if I didn´t find quiz, crossword, whatever!!!
OLD 55 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 fit "BADFINGER" can you believe that jr pickin on me... I missed that Laurie. I'll go back and have a look. Badfinger are one of the most underrated Groups ever. Love their music. Tragic though that the 2 who co-wrote one of the most beautiful songs of all time (Without You) both committed suicide. Edna, did you get my Email with the stamp scans? Pick of the shelf to you! I have to go out on my "bread run" now, but I'll check back later.
edna Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Darryl, you got me hooked again! I just got half of the crossword but I have to go and work now, so I´ll come back later... and give the others the chance!!
katie_sane Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 well there goes my planned night of collage work! This thread has been my favourite on songfacts and is the major reason I kept coming back to this fantastic site. I have loved being involved and meeting all the great people with incredible taste in music (much like myself ) THANKYOU again Darryl/Old55/Quizmaster/knowledgeable Aussie! And to Edna, congratulations on winning the August quiz!!
