If you don’t know how it works, just watch how others do it and you’ll figure it out.
I know I haven’t been terrific lately about posting answers, but I will get around to it, hopefully sometime tomorrow. It’s just…well, it’s a little bit of tedious copy-and-pasting. And that’s always assuming I can remember where I saved the right answers…
Anyway, for now, and as always, good luck!
Update: Okay, at long last, here are last week’s answers. And here are the answers from the week before that. I think I’m all caught up now.
6. When Doves Cry – Prince
#1 is “Carry On, Wayward Son” by Kansas.
#7 is “The Long Black Veil.” I don’t know who did it originally. The version I have is by the Chieftains and Mick Jagger.
I’m sure some of those others are familiar, but I’m equally sure they’re not going to come to me.
And I want to see the answers! 🙂
#9 – Beatles, “I Feel Fine”
3. Leaving on a Jet Plane. Well, the version I have is Drivin N Cryin but I would guess John Denver or Peter,Paul and Mary or one of the many other artists that have covered it…
1. Carry On Wayward Son, Kansas
