malc,
Good job. I'm really impressed that you got the Janis Ian question correct. You mention Ian to most people (especially under 25) and they have no clue....

Editor: Thanks! The mentioning of the South in that question #5 was the tip-off for me. I agree with you about Janis Ian. The same goes for "Society's Child"; that song doesn't get nearly enough airplay as it should.
Pjazzy: Good job! I think you edged me out by 10 pts!
malc & pjazz,
The George Harrison question was tricky. He invited Leon Russell.
David Gates wrote the song Everything I Own to his father, who had recently passed.
