[Phillycat]

4. California.

:hi:

[northzax]

2. the patridge family

no question.

[Phillycat]

5. Nope. :)

[northzax]

15. you lyin.

I can see it in the depths of your soul. you can pretend, but you are wrong!

[Phillycat]

17. It really isn't! I swear!

Although Susan Dey really could shake a tambourine. :D

[HughBeaumont]

22. Hyde (That 70s Show): "I'm pretty sure I can nail Susan Dey!"

:hide:

[northzax]

35. you mean you wrote this entire post

without thinking once about the partridge family? I think not.

[Phillycat]

36. Well, until you mentioned them...but...

DAMMIT!

[northzax]

37. YES!!!!!

the meme groweth! All hail. :)

[HughBeaumont]

3. OK three questions -

1. Hit or cult band?
2. How many members?
3. When were they formed?

[Phillycat]

6. Okay...

1. I would say "cult", although they certainly made a living. You've heard of them for sure.

2. 4 at their most famous.

3. Late 60's.

[KitchenWitch]

7. The Monkees?

[Phillycat]

9. Nope.

But now I have that song in my head, thanks! "Here we come..."

[MissMillie]

8. The Monkees?

(ok, I know that most people don't consider them a "band")

[Phillycat]

11. GMTA! Nope. :)

[HughBeaumont]

10. She gets mad, then she starts to cry . . .

Late 60s would make them a 70s band, right?

[Phillycat]

13. A 60's, 70's and 80's band according to the album release dates.

But primarily a 70's band, yes.

[fizzgig]

12. any women in the band?

[Phillycat]

14. Nope, sadly.

[MissMillie]

16. Are we allowed to ask...

the name of their biggest hit? How about the YEAR of their biggest hit?

:shrug: (can't blame a girl for trying)

[HughBeaumont]

18. Believe that's violating the TMI clause of janesez' rules.

[KitchenWitch]

19. That is kind of like my joke question during the spelling bees

"Uh, can you spell that for me?"

[Phillycat]

21. Nope, and nope. :)

Mostly because they didn't really have one big hit.

[Richard Steele]

20. CCR?

If not, then I'll ask what "style" they generally fall under.

[Phillycat]

23. Nope, but you're close to the right genre there.

Pretty much right on it - these guys were more country though.

[Richard Steele]

28. Self-delete; I see the mystery has been solved. nm,

[Phillycat]

30. Answer below, thanks for playing!

:hi:

[SteppingRazor]

24. The Byrds? The Flying Burrito Brothers? New Riders of the Purple Sage? n/t

[Phillycat]

26. Well, that's kind of cheating, but DING DING DING DING DING!!

The Flying Burrito Brothers was what I was looking for. I loved me some Gram Parsons! In those cool Nudie suits...he and Hillman were so awesome. :D

The requisite stupid picture of me, as your prize (I'm out of new pics of myself, I'm going to have to start recycling):



Everyone play again tomorrow! :hi:

[johnnie]

31. "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow just died

I don't know if you read that or not today. He died yesterday or on the weekend.

[Phillycat]

34. Yup, that's what put them into my head.

:hi:

[SteppingRazor]

32. WOOOOOOO!!!! I'm a winner! Just like the Florida Gators!!

:P



Yeah, Gram Parsons rules. I was a singer/rhythm guitarist in a band that covered "Return of the Grievous Angel" in a quick, cowpunk kinda style. Love Parsons!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Ironic you picked them:

RIP

[HughBeaumont]

25. Couldn't have been the Grateful Dead,

as they have like 600 members not counting their personal keyboardist morgue.

[SteppingRazor]

27. Actually, five members, not counting keyboardists.

Two drummers, two guitarists, and a bassist. That's it. Unless you count the brief membership of backup vocalist Donna Jean Godcheaux.

[Phillycat]

29. Answer above, thanks for playing!
