Close behind in second place is JAMIE LUBIN who only missed one regular song and one tie-breaker. Superior performances were also turned in by THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN; RANDY PRICE; THE COASTERS; SCOOTER MAGRUDER/JENNY McCAW/JOE HAERTEL; and ROCKAHOLICS ANONYMOUS. Over two-thirds of all entrants scored 300 or more points. The average score was 312.2 which is just about ideal for a GOLQ. And, with the exception of one tie-breaker, every song was identified by at least four teams. So, I consider this quite a successful quiz! Thanks everyone for participating! -- Barry Silk OldiesFan@hotmail.com _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: A "+" indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly; a "-" indicates partial credit; an "x" indicates a totally incorrect guess; a "." indicates no guess.
