Since I will be out of town on Monday, Memorial Day, I have posted the quiz early. I shall have the answers posted late in the afternoon on Tuesday. Good Luck and have a GREAT weekend!
1) Who are Tommy Reynolds (multi-instrumentalist), Joe Carollo (bass/vocalist) and Dan Hamilton (guitar/lead vocals)?
(10 points) 10
2) In the late 1960s, Brian Wilson made friends with this influential musician. He started to write songs for him and was also going to produce him and his newly formed group until the rest of the Beach Boys revolted (they wanted all of Brian’s talents and attention for themselves). What is the name of the band that Brian was writing for that eventually went on to have 21 Top 40 hits?
(10 points) 20
3) In 1971, Donny Osmond had a Number #1 hit with his cover of “Go Away Little Girl” (and I thought it ironic since Osmond was about 10 years old). Who had the original Number #1 hit? (Hint: He was much more mature).
(10 points) 30
4) Todd Rundgren had a hit in the early 70s with “We Gotta Get You a Woman.” Who was he speaking to in the song and under whose name was the single credited to as a performer?
(5 points each) 40
5) What song are these lyrics from and what band made the song famous?
(5 points each) 50
Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
And coming down a bit too hard...

(10 points) 80
