I scored 18/20. I think 20 is attainable; I just made a couple of silly mistakes.

Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored the fastest 25/25 for the second week running.

    • I liked the death notice: “On Sunday, April 19, after cooking an amazing dinner with his beloved wife Winifred, he sat down to take a nap with sweet Star (the maltese) at his feet. He passed away peacefully, in his favorite chair, surrounded by the beautiful Carson Valley that he loved so much. A storybook ending. On his own terms. Which is how he lived his life right up until the end.”

  1. A very easy 20/20 with 4:05 left on the clock.
    Sad news about Dave Mason, although I heard the setting of his passing was very pleasant, with his family there and his dog at his feet. I saw him once, opening for comic Richard Lewis. He played by himself and his guitar playing & singing were fantastic. That was probably 30-35 years ago.
