Re: A LITTLE TRIVIA = A QUIZ

Unfortunately UK charts did not start untill late 1952 so I am unable to find the UK hits of 1947 (although the US charts are availble that would not be a true reflection), I will still try and find out though.

Re: A LITTLE TRIVIA = A QUIZ

Any of the administrators  think we could start a daily trivia game? I would really enjoy something like that,maybe you could talk some of the advertisers into giving some kind of small prize,ie free strings ,or a few free lessons.Or just for fun. Well just a thought.     dino

Re: A LITTLE TRIVIA = A QUIZ

WOW what a surprise. I didn't do this to know your age, but to see what was the top 3.
If you are born before 1954 it get's more difficult,  SEE DINO48, to find songs of your the year, when you are born.
Even if there is a lot of people who are born in the same year, PLEASE POST also your list with 3 top hits
I was surprised, I'M born in the middle of a change in music style, somewhere between blues and rock = Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard.
