malc and beck,

good guesses on number #1 and number #8.

pjazz,

embarrassed yourself? hardly! you got judy collins from 1972 on number #2 and that was perhaps the most difficult one on the quiz.

the songwriter questions seem to be the most challenging for everyone, but you still go great.

one thing i just realized: Linda Ronstadt covered 4 of the 5 songs i had listed on number #3 - i didn't notice that when i composed the question.

have a GREAT thursday, ya'll...
