RESULTS AND ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #239
A three-way tie this time led by RANDY PRICE/PETER MORLEY, (Jerry Caffarello,
we hardly knew ye), The VILLAGE IDIOTS, and The GYPSY'S CARAVAN. The COASTERS
missed by a tie-breaker. Six other teams had 480 scores, including old GOLQ
friend and former QM JYRKI ILVA. The HESITATIONS' bombastic rendition of
BORN FREE proved to be the separator in this field.
The average score on this quiz was 443.
Thanks to all who entered. GOLQ240 has been posted.
