Re: Quiz 3-19
... looked at this list yesterday waiting for Knofler to come up, at the end I was not impressed.
I figured Knopfler for at least number two or even number one. Chet Atkins never made the list nor did Les Paul, and John Lennon? He wasn't even the best guitar player in the Beatles, George Harrison was. Like I said, **** list.

Re: Quiz 3-19
Too late on parade again; my fault entirely. Excellent quiz again which was enjoyable as usual. Thank you for all the effort you put into it. 
I jotted down 14 answers which I was confident about, and was beaten to all of them.

Re: Quiz 3-19
Ok I'll give the opens a try:
8. If it's at Bally's it has to be Jubilee.
14. I was gonna say ads bunged in papers, but I tend to think oral yellers would be the older method that survives to this day.
20. That name is Chinese. A shot in the dark but probably some big shot in the Communist party. Names like that are shortened to the first two. So I'd say Wan Li, whoever the hell he is.
23. Something to do with Kansas City but buggered if I recall the singer or song name.
70. Anus is banned in Denmark so I'll go with that.
