1. Cat Food - King Crimson
3. All In A Mouse's Night - Genesis
5. Pigs On The Wing - Pink Floyd

(and by the way, for my last question, I had Mark Knopfler instead of Mel Collins - Mark guested on Bryan's "Boys And Girls" album. I didn't know Mel played with Dire Straits, but it's not surprising!)

Jim in the end zone with six!

Keith is going to be beside himself when he wakes up - I forgot it's only 9PM out on the left coast!

Come to think of it, I'm going to bed - at the rate you're hitting it, it should be solved by morning!

8. Lone Rhino - Adrian Belew

[yeah, but Keith should be waking up soon - I'm hoping to get more than ten points before then for the clinch! HAHA!]

2 isn't "Dogs In Midwinter" by Tull, is it? I'm still working on it, since I assume not
I'll also guess 7. to be "Heavy Horses" by Tull...

Very funny guys!!!!!!!!!

I'm awake now but the brain's not so I'm off for a gallon of coffee, take the cat to the vet (poor sod!) and get my thinking cap on.

Looks like there are still enough left for me to have a go at albeit the difficult ones.

no question here

I don't really have a decent question, so let's just continue off of Rick's question.

Sorry.

ok, boys -

Jim now has 10 points. Here's the deal -

1) Cat Food - KC
3) All In A Mouse's Night - Genesis
5) POTW - Floyd
7) Heavy Horses -Tull (nice one, Jim)
8) Lone Rhino - Belew

What's left -

2) Canines twice around the Sun? Hint: 1996 song by a very popular band, but an obscure tune. No other hints.
4) A hard to spot female? Hint: Two-word song title.
6) Pussy hiding out in Lewis's partner's boots? This may be the hardest of the lot.
9) A dark feline walking? This is the only instrumental of the answers.
10) An African mammal belonging to a deity? This I believe, is on the AM playlist.

Have fun!

Not an instrumental...

This is not an instrumental, but how about "Run With the Fox?" by Yes (Chris Squire/Alan White).

Btw, As you can see, I did state it was Bernstein and Sondheim who connected Banks and Emerson.


But what's the deal about Shakespeare?

How odd....

Your Bernstein/Sondheim post didn't come up on my PC.

As for Bill S.

Something's Coming and America were from West Side Story which Lenny B based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

I got the B&S post by Yesspaz - it looks like whoever has the most points can work it out with him for the next Q&A.

Can't give you the Fox answer.

Oh, and whoever gets the most points can have the next question. I never know these things, especially the link type questions. This is almost never a prog "quiz" anymore. Instead it's "research"!

Ha! I crack me up.

Maybe we should award ourselves Diplomas.

A very good and interesting point, Yesspaz

That's why I shied away from the link question the last few times. There ain't no way research will help you on this question.

Take a look

I will be out for at least 5 hours, possibly 7-8. See what you all can do on the remaining 5 questions!

2. Gentle Flower, Hidden Beast - Steve Morse Band (I know this isn't right, but maybe half a point extra credit?)
9. Black Cat Shuffle - Al Dimeola

#9 is right - I think that may be one of the harder ones - and it's 12 points for the clinch!

Can't give you credit for #2 - I meant a really popular band (Steve Morse doesn't cut it)

A little more hint, then a bigger hint in the morning -

SEE THE TOP OF PAGE 20 FOR THE QUESTIONS AGAIN

#2 - go back to the prior hint, and another hint is that it is a two-word title. Then re-read the question, and do not make it harder than it is.

#4 - hard to spot describes what animal? Think about it, then try again.

#6 - The band in question shares the main part of its name with another band - and both bands used to be the same!

#10 - the mammal in question can also be found in tropical Asia. This one should not be too hard as it is.

Let's go until Thurs PM on these and then I'll "give them away", so that Jim can do a question over the weekend.

4. She Chameleon - Marillion

god, I went around in circles on this one - hidden what?; camouflage something; then the "hard to spot" got me thinking of leopards and cheetahs. I think I'm making numbers 2 and 10 harder than they need to be as well.

10. A Christmas Camel - Procol Harum OR Holy Lamb by Yes - I don't think either of these is right, but I'm stuck for now...

Another right answer for Jim

Nice one on the Marillion. Three left:

time for some real help -

2) "Canines twice around the Sun?

Hints so far - Two words, a band that is very popular.
Another hint - What does one time around the Sun represent?

6) "Pussy hiding out in Lewis's partner's boots? Hints so far - on the AM playlist, band shares name with another band. Another hint - shared name starts with G, and Lewis is an explorer.

10) "An African OR Asian mammal belonging to a deity." Hint: On the AM playlist. Another hint: Look at Sean McFee's quote at the bottom of any of his posts. There's a word in there that's in the line right before the song title.

Holy Lamb was an excellent try.
