The programme for today was an opportunity for Rotarians to indulge the misspent time of their youth, recalling the tunes, melodies, lyrics and groups of musicians that helped them escape the realities of growing up during the seventies, eighties and even more recently. The more recent offerings were at the urging of a Mr Clucas, but they were more obscure, because that is where my tastes lie since the era of the nineties.The quiz has run, the answers provided, and results collated. The data is meaningless, because hardly anybody wrote their names on top of the pages. Most tables wrote the correct answers on the paper as the names were read out. The only meaningful info is to provide data on which questions proved easiest, based on percentage correct.
Every Question had at least one correct answer, and eleven questions had 100% correct answers. The category that proved easiest was Rock Groups, America and the Eagles. The hardest question related to Floral Dance/Grimethorpe Colliery Band and the Movie "Brassed Off".
Everyone got Dave Brubeck - Take Five. The time signature proved harder.
I love music, and enjoy setting up music quizzes, but I am aware that they are not universally popular. I can do a quiz at Rotary but stress that that will only happen if the President or Program Director approaches me and asks for one. Thanks to those members who provide support and encouragement.
