RESULTS AND ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #266
Six teams had perfect scores: COASTERS, GYPSY'S CARAVAN, VILLAGE IDIOTS,
DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB, WILL McCORRY and MICK TURSKY. ACROSS THE BOARDER and
The EJs only missed tie-breakers. #14 proved to be the undoing for a few
teams. The quiz didn't turn out as hard as expected, so beware the next
one. The average score on this quiz was a relatively high 465.
Thanks to all who entered. GOLQ 267 will be posted shortly.
