GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #139 (GOLQ139) Hello everyone, Welcome to GOLQ 139. I've been under the weather lately ("Stormy Monday Blues?"), and it might have clouded my thought process a little on this one. There is a broad theme that ties all the songs together, and gives me an excuse for putting in a couple of my favorite obscure songs. This quiz ends at 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Tuesday, April 27, 1999. E-mail early because you can't be sure of how long it will take for your message to reach me. Because I will be travelling during this quiz please E-mail, DO NOT POST, answers to: golq&hotmail.com, with copy to REA01803&msn.com [replace '&' with '@', '01803' are all numbers] I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. If you do not receive an acknowledgment within a few days, or are nervous about the deadline, you may call me at +1 781.273.2035.
