Glad you're joining in Mira! Did you enjoy it?

I did. One thing that was fun was that my brother and myself do know our music. But it was hard and we did not know a bunch of them.....

Suzi
03-02-20, 10:15 PM
Pfft, I don't know most of the answers to anything - I just make it up.... Unless you're Paula - in which case I know every answer and just get a few wrong to make her feel special......

Paula

Jaquaia
03-03-20, 05:19 PM

I love your quizzes Mike. I love springing bizarre questions on my family. Loved the pop quiz as it was definitely my era and because A and I have such varying music taste, between us we had a lot of the answers. Any topic is fab. X
