Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1998 21:13:24 GMT Hi, oldies fans, GOLQ-1-2-3 should be as easy as A-B-C. You will be familiar with many of these songs from past GOLQs. GOLQ quizmasters generally try to reuse no more than 12 songs per quiz, and we stayed within that limit. If you do not have the official GOLQ Rules (a posted copy of the rules should follow a posted copy of this quiz on most sites), you may read them by pointing your web browser at: ftp://bobcat.bbn.com/pub/golq/FAQ/rules There have been no changes to the general rules since the last quiz, but, as T. P. says, pay attention to them anyway. If you want GOLQs and their results and answers sent directly to you by e-mail, send e-mail to golq-request@world.std.com consisting only of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message. Have fun, and the best of luck to all those who enter. Marc and Bob -- Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EDT (GMT - 4) on Tuesday, April 28, 1998.
