When I was in the UK I used to host music quizzes quite extensively - in pubs, clubs, schools, private parties etc...
I did this because music has ALWAYS been my passion - from Mozart to Madness. Music is truly the universal language and brings everyone together on an equal footing. My music collection must be bigger than that of the BBC!
Indeed, I was one of Richard Branson's first customers at 'Rare Records' in Manchester.
I was actually in the business professionally for a few years in the 70s - playing piano and keyboards as a session musician with EMI records on Oxford Street in Manchester.

Anyroadup - last night I was invited to do a music night at the house of an American friend of mine - I played music from the 50s, 60s and 70s and it went down a STORM!!!!
It just goes to prove my original point to a small extent - that music - good music - not the total c**p that sells a few dozen copies and gets to number one in the charts these days - will live FOREVER.

In the middle of last night's 'gig' I had a small competition - 'Place the Lyric' and I was AMAZED at how many Filipinos/as scored really well.

I'll give you a couple of examples of last night's questions - easy ones I hope.
From which songs do the following lyrics come?

We drank champagne and danced all night, under electric candlelight.

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear.
