Music Quiz: Greatest Hits XX

It’s ANZAC Day here in New Zealand, where we remember the Gallipoli campaign, a disastrous attack on a Turkish peninsula during World War 1. It also would have been my dad’s 80th birthday – he was born during World War 2.

    • Great job. Makes you think how many super talented artists got buried after an unsuccessful record or two.
