This is a toughie quiz. I don't know any of the answers and will have to go investigate to find them.

Will that be classed as cheating?:>)

Hi Mandy

They are pretty hard huh! I know the answers because they are written on the back of the question pages. Research is definitely allowed.

I knoow the answer to McCartney's "Flaming Pie" title. Its from Lennon's story of how he got the name 'Beatles'. He told reporters; "I had a vision that a man came unto us on a flaming pie, and he said, 'You are Beatles with an A.' And so we were."

Hi

I will put the official answers up next week!

Hi

Right. No more takers for this quiz so here are the answers you have been waiting for!

May 27th
How did the name of Paul McCartney's 'Flaming Pie' originate?

Answer:
The title is a reference to a story John Lennon wrote in the Liverpool newspaper Mersey Beat on the origin of the Beatles' name: "I had a vision that a man came unto us on a flaming pie and he said "You are the Beatles with an A" And so we were.'

May 28th
When were the first Grammys awarded?

Answer
The first Grammys were awarded at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1959. They recognised musical accomplishments from the previous year.

May 29th
What is Roger McGuinn's real name?

Answer
McGuinn changed his name from Jim to Roger in 1967 after his guru told him it would be better to 'vibrate with the Universe"

May 30th
To what does the title of Elton John's '21 at 33' refer?

Answer
The title refers to the fact that it was 33 year old John's 21st album

May 31st
How loud was the Who's 'loudest rock show ever'?

Answer
Sound from the band's 76,000- watt PA system was measured at 120 decibels, the highest ever measured at a rock show.

So I declare that Azzami was right about Flaming Pie and noone else got any answers right at all!
