RESULTS AND ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #188
Congratulations to the team of Barry Silk, Scooter Magruder
and Jenny McCaw, who won this quiz with a near-perfect score!
First-time entrant Mick Tursky and the team of Randy Price and
Peter Morley were both close behind, each missing one song
in the regular part of the quiz. The following two places
went to the Village Idiots and Really Rockin' In Boston teams.
Behind them, the Coasters were the only team who came up with
the correct answer for #T2, and the Delphi Trivia Club also
managed to cross the magical 400 point barrier.
Rick Schubert has already posted GOLQ189.
Thanks to all who entered!
