Are you kidding, Fljotsdale!?! Didn't you say you've only been aware of him a year? You're getting great scores :) .

Thank you, Lizzy! :D You reassure me! Everyone else is getting much better scores than me, and I was feeling a bit foolish... but, yes, only just about a year when I joined - bit more now, of course, but not much. I DO need to keep that in mind! :lol:

Still missing a few records.
Now you've got the gist of what my lettuce meant.

I'm delighted with myself. I got 7/10 which is not bad considering I only had two albums until last weekend when I bought another 4.

Proud of you for catching up so quickly Joney ... Hope you'll complete your album collection in a week or so! :-)

Do give them time to settle in though... I still hear them differently each listen. And as I think you've noted somewhere else, there is a joke in almost every song and finding it is excellent mental excercise .. unfortunately has not slowed my "old-timers" memory loss, but better than no brain workouts. :-)
