Congratulations also go to The Old Folks at DG, Bruce Kukuch, and Dan Murphy, who had excellent scores. In addition, there were good performances by Rick & Kathy Schubert & Dave Ewing, Ron & Sally Crandall, Bonnie Teitelbaum, and Irish & Mike B. And of course, thanks to everyone for participating! In this quiz, I've revived the practice of including the peak position achieved by each song on the Billboard weekly "Hot 100" chart. This number appears after the year, in square brackets. On a sad note, Dave Grisham of the CIRT team reports that one of their team members, Steve Sullivan, was critically injured recently in an auto accident. They have submitted their entry in his memory.

Ron Crandall will be continuing the series, starting with #14. Creating the quizzes is pretty time-consuming, although a lot of fun, so it'll be relaxing to revert to being a scoree, as opposed to the scorer. I'm always interested in discussing oldies trivia with anyone who cares to! -- Howard Teitelbaum (hat@floyd.att.com)
