Robert's Midi Music Quiz!

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Perchance "Sailing" performed by 'N Sync?

[Robert Bruce]

No Ricky it is not "Sailing" by 'N Sync.

Who is/were N'Sync?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Ah Ah Ah...... Robert there was a band in the '90's called "N SYNC come now old boy :-)   The only Sailing song I know is by Rod Stewart....only 'cos it's A "our song".  I realy "doesn't" know the answer to this one.   

[Robert Bruce]

Afraid I vaguely recall the name 'N Sync but not their memorable music! And this is not Rod. Now his music was good. I remember being given a freebie ticket to a Rod and The Faces concert at Oxford back in the early 1970's.

My opinion of him at the time was that he was aimed at the teenibopper market and as I had a free ticket I thought I'd go and suss him out. THis was the time when Ronnie Laine (bassist) was progressivley getting iller with MS to continue on the tour and so the band got a Japanese bass player in to cover for him.

Anyway - I had my socks blown off that night! I was amazed at their repertoire and how well they rocked. I was hooked and still am a fan.

Rod's Sailing is not this Sailing. It is someone elses's Sailing!

If it's not Christopher's "Sailing" and it's not Rod's "Sailing" and its's not "N Sync's "Sailing", how about Avante's "Sailing?

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Sorry, that should be Avant........sounds eerily like Michael Jackson!

[Robert Bruce]

Ricky - Apologies! On my laptop I did not see your post "Posted by: Ricky Barron « on: 11-02-2012, 10:02:24" where you got the correct singer.

You are correct it is Christopher Cross. He also penned what other famous hit from a movie theme? An apology karma will be added after an hour from now to go with your winners entry.

Robert..............

My chemist says that I should thank you for his vacation in the Seychelles, paid for by the stress related tablets that I am now consuming by the mouthful!

As answer to your last query..........

Arthur - Arthur's Theme (Best that you can do)?

[Robert Bruce]

Aaaah indeed it is Arthur's Theme. A pleasant movie. Would have preferred the femail lead to have been a contemporary actress other than Liza Minelli.

She was not my cup of te in that role. Once a caberet singer, stay a caberet singer!

[Robert Bruce]

Who sings this song and what is the song title?

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Another long shot..............

Deep purple - Smoke on the water?

[Robert Bruce]

Wow Ricky - orry it's a no. But I like the thinking. The riff is the thing.

[Robert Bruce]

Let me put you lot out of your misery!

The song is Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Rats!

[Robert Bruce]

No Ricky. It's Iron Man.... not Rats!  Heehee
