Gus, I love trivia, especially music trivia, and I think I'm pretty good at it, But **** the remaining questions surprized me...
I don't remember ever hearing that Dave shot his wife. John Sebastian played Harmonica for the Doors..WOW, I would never have guessed that.

Good game, my friend...Looking forward to the next one.

Many times the info I stumble upon surprises me too Rog! I had no idea who played that harmonica for The Doors! I'd like to find out how that collaboration came about, for sure.
I assume the pseudonym was necessary to get around strict contractal obligations. That was common practice in those days, as I'm sure you know!
And Dave shooting his wife was also a shocker. I tried to find more details about that but can only assume that she did not die. I'm sure that, if she had, it would have been stated somewhere.

Yep, music trivia is fun, alright! Sorry to hear your ALL MUSIC Forum is being closed. I did learn some stuff there and have learned many interesting trivia bits from you over the years!

Thanks for playing Wink's games! Looking forward to the next one!

I think I read recently that Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels went by that name, originally!

After I got that COOL CD from you, I did some browsing!

If I'm correct, you can't really call it cheating. can you?

Lemme know, either way, por favor!
