OLD 55 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Q5 - Donna Summer CONGRATULATIONS DASLIED ! SPOT ON. Donna Summer, the "Queen Of Disco" it is. Very good answer. She married an Austrian actor, Helmut Sommer, in 1971 and kept the anglicised version, Summer, when they divorced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 We are upping the dress standard for men participating in the Quiz now. However....I don't want to be accused of being sexist, so I've also included below, one example for the ladies' dress code. Seriously, this is a NEW Q1. This Classical Musician was born in the 19th Century, died in the 20th. A composition of his became a world wide hit in the 1970s. Any ideas what the composition may have been ? If you can tell me his name also, I'll give you a Bonus Point. ................................................ Sorry, the young woman has nothing to do with the Question.

Shawna Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 First thing that came to my mind was Amadeus Mozart. But I'm totally confused about the girl picture... I'm also bowled over... I'm ahead of Brad? Wait'll he hears about THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think Bluesy is right... I looked up Puccini's picture on Wikipedia, sure looks like him to me. But I still don't get the girl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 'Splain the girl! Shawna, I did ! Richard Strauss is the model for the men's new dress code to enter The Quiz, and SHE'S the desired dress code for the ladies. (The guitar is optional).

OLD 55 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 As long as you observed the new dress code, Diggs. Just got back. Gee it's hot here - 36C or 95F. HERE'S A NEW Q1. I'm thinking of a number. It's 27. What significance does it have in (at least) three "dark times" in 20th Century Music ? ..................................................

CONGRATULATIONS EDNA ! GREAT ANSWER. I think you're underrating yourself. Many people would have read that Question and thought "what's he talking about". They're all easy IF you know them.
