I'm going to say I waited until after lunch to start a new post because you all would have thought I was playing a joke earlier. OK, I forgot, actually I was too wrapped up in Lou's puzzle to post.
Here is one to start off April.
He's on the cover somewhere, there he is. Dion's type of guys. I'm looking for the name of the CD.
204 comments:
1 – 200 of 204 Newer› Newest»I posted this in March not realizing there was a new thread. So I will post it again to make sure everyone sees it.
Great job Ed, but the gardener is John Lennon himself.
In the song Empty Garden, Elton John at one point says "...a gardener like that one, no can replace."
He was, of course, referring to Lennon. I'm sure everyone knows Empty Garden was a song about Lennon's murder.
Great work!!
Of course...I like it. Nice song, I forgot all about it.
If I had a million dollars....hmmmm, was such a good clue I didn't even think about the gardener, Ringo's Octopus's Garden came to mind so fast I stopped wondering. If I had done my usual research I would have come up with Madison Square, the Garden where Elton and John performed together.
Great clues.
Ditto to what Lui said, so I will post my comment again, too.
You guys are fantastic. Great clues, great solutions. I am in awe!
And I am still laughing out loud at Ed's narrative on solving the Blondie clues. I hope you keep setting puzzles. It is so much fun!
I thought I'd move my puzzle to here.

Happy Anniversary Mona and Stephen,
You will probably not often have to share this anniversary day with Good Friday remembrances. By tradition this is generally a day of reflection and thanksgiving in the lead up to the joy of Easter Sunday.
Come to think of it, that attitude fits right in with an anniversary celebration, too.
May you share happy memories of the first five years of your marriage and be filled with thanks as you look ahead to the good things that the future has in store for you. Cheers!
Congratulations, best wishes and lots of love,
Louise and David

Happy Anniversary, Peggy and Isles,
We are confident that Margaret will be dropping in on this family blog site today, as she so often does on a Friday afternoon.
You already know that you are in our thoughts and prayers today as you mark 54 years of marriage. Congratulations.
It's nice to think of you there St. Andrews in your Steading home cutting one of Peggy's famous coffee cakes in celebration of this special event. We are with you in spirit for sure!
Lots of love and best wishes,

Ed,
SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.
Sorry Betty Jo,
It's not SGT PEPPER'S. There's a lot of people there but this guy isn't on that one.
Ed, are you he?
One August Night?
Hey! Awesome, yes...I gave you Dion to lead you to the Wanderer. I figured you'd thesaurus to the Drifters and that would lead you to Up On The Roof. That's where I was....One August Night.
We're not done:
Song Title...
2015, Hollywood's Hamilton, According to, Japanese apple, Diana's man.
Ed you are funny!!
In order to get the answer I have to answer as if I was you.
Because the answer is "When I'm 64" by The Beatles.
Way too fast. I figured that was too easy. Ok. A little tougher this time:
I find this often when we play this game...W.
You guys are awesome!
P.S.
BTW, will one of you explain the clues to the "64" answer?
BJ
Ed will be 64 in 2015
Hollywood's Hamilton is George
According to is a reference to the Bible as in according to John.
There is a Ringo apple type in Japan, and
Diana's man is Paul (Anka)
So you have the Beatles who sand "When I'm 64"
Neat Eh!
What!!!
Let me explain.
2015...Yes...When I'm 64
Hollywood's Hamilton...Linda, who starred in the Terminator with Arnold Swarizitz,well,you know,who rallied with GEORGE Bush in '88.
According to...Jim, a tv series starring Jim Belushi who had a brother JOHN
A Japanese apple... RINGO...Ok. I didn't think Lou knew Japanese
Diana is the goddess of the moon in Roman Mythology, worship of Diana is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles because Ephesian metal smiths were threatened by St. PAULs preaching of Christianity
George, John, Ringo and Paul...The Beatles
I like Lou's better
It took me longer to come up with that than it did for Lou to get my clues.
Lui and Ed,
'Neat' just doesn't cover it. Mind-blowing is more like it. Thanks for both explanations. Love it.
BTW Why can't these lovers go gently down the stream? Song title wanted. And way, way easier than any of yours. I'm just trying to keep the ball rolling.
Ed you are hilarious!
I think you got your funny bone crunched a few too many times.
BJ, would it be because they are "Islands in the Stream"?
Kenny and Dolly
How about.....
When you see the days fly by the way they do, you most certainly know that this cannot be true. I gather you may get this one if you think about the north side.
Lui,
No, not even close.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS?
Perhaps I should have said why can't they row, row, row their boat?
Geez Lou,
I was hoping you were going to get Betty Jo's. I can't make anything fit, it's just a guess when I say "River Deep Mountain High" Ike and Tina Turner. It doesn't fit but Ike and Tina couldn't row gently down Wascana Creek
Maybe I should have said roll, roll, roll.
Sorry BJ not right.
I'm like you Ed, I can't get BJ's either. Lots of ideas but nothing really fits right.
See BJ, it seems so obvious when you know the answer but if your looking at it from the other side it can be difficult......until something clicks.
This one is probably easy for me because I'm crazy about this singer. I still can't figure out yours, and you know way more songs than I do.
Lui,
TIME STAND STILL by Rush?
Didn't you hear me say I'm CRAZY about this songstress?
I went down to Wascana Creek just to see if I could get some ideas for Betty Jo's song. Sure enough there were three guys getting a boat ready to go fishing. I thought...this should be interesting, they can't row out there, the water is frozen...but these guys cut a large hole in the ice to put their boat in, then struggled to drag their boat across the snow and ice, that's when I thought it would be easier if the boat had wheels. Is the answer to your clue... AIN'T NO WHEELS ON THIS SHIP by Patsy Cline?
You still have ice on Wascana lake? (It was 29 degrees here yesterday). Lucky for you, though because it gave you the right answer. And lucky for me, too because I love your explanations better than the answers. Patsy is one of my favorite singers.
BJ, sometimes the reason you are not getting an answer is because the players have been away fo a while. Don't give it away so fast.
In this case, however, it was because I had no idea so I appreciated the extra clue. Your first one was subtle and would likely have been sufficient.
Your last clue gave me a good laugh.
On a sombre note, Tricia's friend Ryan finally passed away during the night last night.
Tasha and Tricia have spent a lot of time with him at the hospice lately and Tricia said she knows he was in a good frame of mind when he went. She said she was part way there a number of times when she was in ICU and it is a good place.
Even as prepared as they all were it is going to be difficult for them in the coming days and weeks.
BJ, what do you see more of on the north side?
Lou,
Sorry to hear about Ryan, my heart goes out to all who knew him.
On a lighter note. Your clue was, we know this certainly can not be true. We know it has something to do with time so "Time Passes Slowly" works, I figured 'I gather' was also part of the clue and if you thesaurus that you come up with the Association whose first contract with Valiant records yielded a version of Bob Dylan's "One to Many Mornings". Bob was born in Duluth, Minnesota which is located on the North side of Lake Superior. TIME PASSES SLOWLY by Bob Dylan works although, in this case I think it's TIME IS ON MY SIDE by the Rolling Stones
FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER Aurora Borealis?
Yes Ed, I was looking for "Time is on My Side" by the Rolling Stones.
Of course moss grows thicker on the north side and we know a rolling stone gathers no moss. Great work!
Try this one!!
How about the butterfles? What a gem!
Man, playing with the big boys is tough. How about Black,Red,Yellow (monarch butterflies) by Pearl Jam (gem).
or how about Ruby Tuesday (who needs to be free, like butterflies are free)
Sorry BJ both are wrong.
The butterflies were actually part of a very very very common saying. Somewhere along the way they were left off.

Lui,
Wind beneath my wings.
Sorry BJ, not right!
We all must learn about these in order for life to continue!!
Lui
The Best Things in Life are Free?
Wrong again.
Marie thinks the song is too obscure. I think it was a catchy little tune that most would remember. Maybe I'm wrong.
Parents normally tell their children about it.
Help, Edward. Where are you?
The Birds and the Bees by Jewel Akens?
Let's fall in love. Even educated fleas do it.
Hi Betty Jo,
I've been celebrating Easter, Deanie gave me a basket full of plastic eggs and a few bags of candy with instructions to fill and hide them. There's only so many hiding places in the house, the basket contained 83 eggs so the task took me a while. Now, this is the month the government man wants me to report, the form they send me is always in Greek, which really bugs me, I'll be back in May.
Oh yeah...Louise has it.
Ed,
Was the butterflies clue yours or Lui's. how come you know the answer?
It was Lui's
His additional clues have led up to it and it all fits perfectly.
We all must learn about these in order for life to continue!!...the birds and the bees
Parents normally tell their children about it...the birds and the bees
The birds and the bees is an idiomatic expression sometimes expanded to 'the birds the bees and the butterflies'
Now you just have to find the gem...Jewel Akins
It fits so good it can't be anythiong else.
That's just the way it is.
Actually I should have let Lou explain, but I had to take a break from my taxes.
Did you forget about my tough one, actually they're all pretty tough:
I find this often when we play this game...W.
You've probably thought this during the last couple of puzzles.
When the first clue is so ambiguous yuo really have to zone in on the performer or performers.
Sorry, I've been working!
Score one for Louise!!!!
Later
Ed,
All work together by Woody Guthrie
I'm mortified. Not only do I not know Jewel Akins, but I don't know the catchy tune "everyone would remember". All the other answers I knew the tune even when I didn't get the answer. Man, I'm outa my league here.
Borrowing a phrase of your own...no, not even close.
When checking my clues, be sure to read every word. You may find a clue anywhere in a blog entry.
Ed, I don't think yuo would find this but I might.
"You better you bet", the Who
Sorry Lou.
Not so fast. Good job on the yuo you found though.
"Who are you" by the Who?
Sorry. You still haven't found the right band.
Betty Jo,
Out of your league? Are you kidding? I had never heard of 'Ain't No Wheels on this Ship',if it hadn't been for the nuckleheads dragging that boat on the lake I never would have got it.
Actually as soon as you mentioned you were crazy about the singer you gave it away. Crazy is real familiar to me.
Be careful how you say that.
What?
They might think you're crazy.
Go away you aren't real.

Ed,
I Can't Sleep by Clay Walker
No, I'm sorry. That W is a big clue but it has also thrown you off.
I think once you find the band you will have found what you've been looking for.
W = U2?
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Blogger was misbehaving this morning. Sorry for the comment pollution.
Apology accepted.
Good job on solving the puzzle. The W was a trick clue, I'm glad somebody picked up on the double U.
One for Kenneth
Now that we have another player in this game, here's another:
A chorus of black and whites do a version of this song, telling us what we all need. A regal performance.
Edward,
I've narrowed it down to The Police or Kiss (Black and white) or Queen (regal). Am I even in the ballpark? BJ
If not, here's one for you:
This hen can take care of the foxes. (song from a movie).
I would say that you aren't just in the ballpark, with one of those three, you're on the mound.
i'll take a guess at your's to be The Perfect Nanny? - Mary Popppins
Ed, Keep yourself alive by Queen?
As for my puzzle..good guess, but much too sweet.
Sorry, not right. What about the little black and whites?
Is your's
Walkie, Talkie Man -Man of the House?
Thanks Edward, but your extra clue didn't help after all.
As for mine, remember not all foxes have 4 legs.
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
Let me guess Norma Rae for yours.
Your clue helped me about as much as mine helped you. Here's a better one , these little black and whites are great swimmers and divers.
Ed, is yours "Kiss" by Prince?
Ed,
I think Lui has it! Thank goodness.
The 'foxes' can take care of the mother hen, too.
Kissing is something we all need and Prince is Regal but it's one of those that fits but is incorrect.
Nicely done though.
Betty Jo is closer.
Betty Jo
Maria...Sound of Music?
Boy, am I stabbing in the dark.
Help!!! Lou
Wise move, Ed. Lui's assistant could help with this. It is from one of her favorite musicals.
Ed: "Somebody to Love" by Queen.
We all need somebody to love.
Queen is regal.
Also sung by the penguins in Happy Feet.
Two for kbub.
In the animated film,"Happy Feet" a chorus of penguins sang Queen's, 'Somebody to Love'

Ed,
Substitute chicks for 'foxes'.
Good news to see a new clue bad news when you've already done it.
The show's title is one word.
Dixie?... I'm not asking for her help. That's my guess.
Sorry Ed,
Too far south, but the Title of the show is the name of a place. And, another "Queen" (not the band) is involved.
Roxie...Chicago?
I've gone through 4 hooks with all the fishing I've done.
Right movie, wrong character. Don't forget Queen.
When you're good to Mama
Queen Latifa who played Matron Moma Morton
Boy, you could say I needed help on this one. The clue I needed was, how many words were in the answer, the first and last letter in each word and all the letters in between, in order. I might have solved it then.
I'm ready for another one.
Yes, Lui, you are correct.
Mama Morton:
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
I love them all and all of them love me
Because the system works the system called reciprocity
This is such a clever song. I love Queen Latifah and I love Chicago. Was it too much of a chick flick for the puzzle?
Okay,Edward
Our love for one another is in the cards.
I agree, our love for one another is in the cards, or maybe in the genes, but how about another puzzle?
How about 'From a Jack to a King'
BJ is it "Time to Smile" from A Big Hand for A Little Lady by Johnny Mercer
Sorry Lui,
A good answer, and probably better than mine is. Remember it is OUR love for one another. I am looking for both the song and the singer.
Ed, Your answer is great too. Stick with the cards clue.
I'm blurking and enjoying every minute of it. You guys are unbelievable!
Love ya,
ME xoxo
Edward,
Was your 'From a Jack to a King' an answer or another puzzle?
Laughing like mad, that's funny, we're so screwed up we don't even know what an answer and a puzzle are any more. From a Jack to a King was an attempt to answer. Here's another attempt.
Third rate romance - The amazing Rhythm Aces.
BJ, Is it "A Love Story" by Taylor Swift.
Country 105 has Country Gossip Nashville Cat on every morning and I am normally listening as I drive to work. I remember her saying that Taylor Swift is designing her own greeting cards now and one of them has the words from A love Story in it.
Our love for one another had a lot to do with mom, she was always praying for us, to Mary, the 'Queen of Hearts' - Juice Newton
I am just loving this! Your answers are all so clever, but no to all of them. Think relationship instead of love (although, they are not exclusive), don't forget the cards--and remember I am also looking for the singer.
What fun!
Love Makes a Family - Two of a kind
Good guess, but not correct, brother. Remember cards have more than faces and numbers on them.
King and Queen of Hearts...David Pomeranz
Heart of my Heart... Four Aces
A Mother's Love...The Diamonds
I'm guessing lots hoping Lou's mind will click on something
Brother Edward,
With your last answer you are getting warm. It is the singer who can be found in the cards.
Maybe my first clue was too short and too obscure. I hope this clue helps.
Nat King Cole: Our Love is Here to Stay?
Sorry, Lucy. Incorrect, but clever answer. Think of brotherly love instead.
BJ, how about....
"He Ain't Heavy He's my Brother"
Neil Diamond
Bravo, Lui.
Although many singers sang this song, Neil Diamond was the first to record it. We played our vinyl Taproot Manuscript album so often we had to replace it.
Now tell me, was my first clue too obscure? I am going to let you guys do the next one.
Not at all BJ.
The first clue is just that. If someone gets it right away then it is a special accomplishment. I think it's better if it's difficult and as time goes by and we make our guesses then you throw in more clues. Just like we are doing now.
Once in awhile something clicks early and we get it. So much the better.
Now that's just my opinion.
The only thing I know for sure is I haven't had so much fun since we got into a few years ago.
How about...
Some of these are from nature and some from humans and the singer, well no, he is not from Washington.
Lui,
Ain't we got fun. No, that's not my answer, that's just a statement. It is a lot of fun. especially when sometimes more than one song fits the clues.
My answer to your latest:
It's a miracle by Barry Manilow
Sorry BJ, these are very real.
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong?
No, sorry.
If it was by Louis Armstrong, I likely would have said, and no he is not from Los Angeles.
Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain by Willie Nelson
Or maybe Brown Eyes by Woody Guthrie?
Wrong on both guesses BJ but one of the words in one of your guesses is part of the song title.
Wayne Newton: Red Roses for a Blue Lady?
Sorry Louise.
I initially said not from Washington, I meant Washington D.C. (note D.C. are the INITIALS of District of Columbia)
Oh, and the ones from humans are known by a different name. They are just compared to the ones in nature for the purposes of the song.
I'm going to guess..
Raindrops - Dee Clark
"raindrops falling from my eyes"
I didn't see that last clue until I posted, I'm not guessing anymore. I'm sure of it.
Try this one...Song and singer
Choose five or six points and cook. A daughter's friend.
Good luck.
One of my favorite songs Ed.
OK this time the clues will come a little slower.
This one is from back in the sixties. It didn't chart very high but the singer was one of the best.
It reminds of Tony and I when we were kids especially thinking about those fearful days when the report cards came home. Oh, it was written by the singer and it is about his own childhood.
I shouldn't have checked the blog before going to bed. I have to guess at least one...
D in Love --Cliff Richard or
Maybe...What a Wonderful World--Sam Cooke
Good guesses Ed, but wrong.
Cliff Richard was huge in England and Australia but this guy is like that around the world.
It is funny though, Cliff Richard covered a song that this guy wrote!
The Bible - by a bunch of guys
Oh...sorry...I just spent an hour with the Jahovah Witness...boy, am I confused.
My guess is ...School Day Blues - Johnny Winter
I'm fishing for another clue
No not right.
One word in the song title is where he grew up.
Now I'll go for a clue on yours.
My guess is...
Blues for Breakfast by Mama Cass.
Lui,
Arkansas by Glen Campbell?
More fishing...
School Days...Chuck Berry
You're way off on mine...a certain daughter's friend will give you the singer
I thought Mama was a good guess at a daughter's friend.
Good guess but Arkansas is not even close to New York.
Boy, am I confused. I just now discovered Ed's latest puzzle. I wondered what the heck Lui was talking about, so I scrolled back and found it.
Answer: Your Mother's Son-in-law by Billie Holliday?
Mama was a good guess for daughter's friend but think outside of family. Well, not completely outside family. Wait , that might confuse...what I'm trying to say is don't think of the daughter as outside the family. Even I'm getting confused now.
Not correct Betty Jo, my first clue will lead to the song, my second the performer.
Brooklyn Road...Neil Diamond?
Sorry Ed I've been away all night.
Yes, what a great song and it is actually about him and his brother.
Also great music, I've got it on my iphone.
Short and sweet...
No slouching. She met him on a jet plane.
I'll guess...
All Fall Down- Emmylou Harris and George Jones...' from the album 'Friends in high places'
Ed,
Is the singer Buddy Holly? We need a new clue.
Yes. Now you have the singer. My daughter's Holly and her friend could be a buddy.
Betty Jo,
Change cook to essex and find what the 5 or 6 points refer to and you'll find without a doubt what the answer is.
Easier said than done?
Ok, see if anybody can get this one...
Mademoiselle's 'yes', to cut in two equal parts, a...brand spanking, family additon, at...the midnight..., residence. An eldest daughter, and Jesse's surname, Gust of wind (not exactly)
Edward,
Does it mean Holly had her baby?
p.s. as in...we have a brand new baby at midnight at the home of Holly and Jamie.
Beata Matlock Gustafson?
Louise,
Did you get that on Face Book? Has Holly had her new baby?
Grandpa Ed.........what's the answer to this one?
Love,
Graunty Mary Ellen
xoxo
Oh yes Granty ME! It's all on Facebook - two beautiful pictures, too! Holly and James have a girl they have named Beata Matlock Gustafson. There are so many messages of congratulations on Facebook. Would you like my password to visit the site yourself?
Thanks for the information Louise.Thanks also for the offer of your password to Facebook......that's mighty generous of you, but I can get Barbara to show me the pictures on her Facebook.
Congratulations to Holly, Jamie, Eddie, Mia, Lui and Ellie, and also Ed & Dean and welcome to our world Beata! Lots of love to all.
Love ME
xoxoxo
Hello!!!
Yes indeed, as my puzzle suggested...
Mademoiselle's 'yes',(OUI) to cut in two equal parts,(HALVE) a...brand spanking,(NEW) family additon,(BABY) at...the midnight...(HOUR), residence (HOUSE). An eldest daughter(HOLLY), and Jesse's surname (JAMES), Gust of wind (not exactly)(GUSTAFSON)
I remember mom and dad singing 'We have a new baby at our house' on more than a few occassions.
We actually have four a bit older ones running around our house tonight and probably tomorrow night as well. I'll take on a new roll as bus driver tomorrow morning and afternoon.
Lou,...I think I got it!
Stand Tall -- Burton Cummings
I remember Marcia said she met him on a plane once.
Hey, I'm losing track of our puzzles here. Edward, you didn't say whether Easier said than done was correct. And I had to go back and check Lui's clue.
Lui is it Has anybody seen my gal?
Sorry Betty Jo,
When I said change cook to essex.
I thought 'Easier said than done' was in reference to my clue, I didn't realise it was a guess.
However, it is still incorrect. You already know Buddy Holly, if you research who essex is and who the 5 or 6 refers to it will help lead to the song title.
Ed,
Was it She's Got Everything, which was #56 on the charts at one time.
Lui, Singer: Dad Antonini. At least he's the one I most remember singing it.
Sorry, just broke for lunch and checked the blog.
Yes Ed, it is Stand Tall and yes I was referring to the time Marcia wastravelling from Victoria to Edmonton and Burton Cummings was in the seat beside her.
Sorry BJ, a good guess but wrong.
Ed, does essex refer to the Crickets. Essex has a cricket team and Alastair Cook was rheir best player. of course Buddy's band was the Crickets.
Holy smokes Lou,
I didn't know Essex had a team and I didn't know they had a player named cook, but that certainly would have fit, when you discover who essex refers to you'll find who the 5 or 6 points refer to and you'll find an even better fit.

Ed, I will guess "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly.
David Essex who was born David Cook had the lead role in the 1973 movie called That'll be the Day and the soundtrack was incredible. Ringo Starr was also in the show along with a few other rock & rollers.
I'm not too sure about the answer because I just can't seem to get anything on the 5 or 6 points.
It may be staring me in the face but I'm not seeing it.
Lui,
I'm with you on the 5 or 6 thing. I can't find any connection--what are we missing? I'm relying on you to come up with it because I've exhausted all my sources.
Lucy,
Thanks for the birthday greetings. So far I have had a super day. And it just keeps getting better.
Lou it might be because you have a wider range of star (Starr) knowledge than I do. Although stars have any number of points, for me, they typically have 5 or 6. Sorry about that.
It didn't stop you from getting the right answer.
Here's another:
Use a zippo. Swinging, sliding and overhead pockets.
Good luck
Happy Birthday Betty Jo.
Little Beata couldn't wait, how's this, she was officially born at 14:14 on the 14th. There's a possibility I'll be able to remember that.
Edward,
Thank you for the greetings.
Beata's statistics are pretty neat. And as long as you can remember 14, you'll be okay.
No, Ed it was too simple for me to see it. The 5 or 6 points should have given me Starr.
You are obviously feeling sorry for me.
"Light my Fire" by the Doors
Now I'm laughing, ok...try this...
Almost 100. What? Who? Who?
"96 Tears" ? and the Mysterians
Thanks Ed, I didn't even need to look it up!!
How about this Ed:
You know and I don't, so? Apple Ipod? - No, way before that.
Easy...the Commodores?
Lou
It could possibly be 'No Reply'...the Beatles
During one of their recording sessions the Beatles each recorded a new song, George recorded 'You Know What to Do' John recorded 'No Reply'
The Beatles formed Apple Records years before Apple computers or the Ipod
???
You got the Apple I was looking for and the fact that the Beatles started Apple records way back.
The song in not right however. If you know the reason and I don't then I would appreciate it.
Tell Me Why... No, no, don't tell me why... that's my answer.
Yes, yes Tell Me Why, why you would post at 11:50 at night and then again at 5:42 in the morning, are you an insomniac? No, that is not another puzzle.
I was waiting to see if my answer was right.
I'm not an insomniac, I haven't thought people were after me for a long time.
If I give you:
The family, a lot, Davy, sesame and a motor car. What do ya get?

Ed:
I get lots of TV viewing for kids:
The Brady Bunch
The Monkeys
Sesame Street
Herbie the Love Bug
Are you keeping the grandchildren entertained?
LOL, Lucy
I am keeping the grandchildren entertained but that's not what I get. Sorry.
Edward,
You're talking funny again. I can't figure out what you mean at all.
Geez, a lot of people say that.
It looks like you need some help with my quiz.
I was waiting for a guess from Lou but I know he's busy this time of year.
I can tell you that it's the entire family, Davy was a U.S. congressman, and Louise is on the right street.
Hey Ed, I'm busy but the only reason I haven't guessed is because I'm drawing a blank. I have been trying to come up with something ever since you put it up. I just can't seem to come up with anything. I think Davy might be Davy Crockett but I'm not sure what we're looking for. Is it a song or something else?
I am sure it is Davy Crockett, Lui, but in what connection? And the Louise clue has me completely baffled. Somebody...help!
It's a song, even though the answer is a line from the song.
The first two clues are the song, the next three are the performer and the last is the for the line from the song.
You're right about Davy, you're missing the street character, and one of the most interesting facts about the family.
Get your boot ready Lou.
Tony is coming over this morning, I'll give it to him and see what coaxing I have to do to get him the answer.
I think it is the Muppet family from Sesame Street singing one of their songs, but I don't know which one. Am I even warm?
