    17. Possibly better than last year because there was no “chords by ear” section, but I still only recognised the one celeb, and even that was just because Bob Hope looked like my father.

    19, including two lucky guesses. Fun!

  3. Jim December 21st, 2017 2:40 pm

    Lots of fun, but only 14

    Mark: The celebs get harder every year for me!

    karl: Well done!

    Jim: Glad you enjoyed it!

    19. Great fun, as ever. I largely have to guess the celebs as the only one I recognised outright was Bob Hope!

  7. Woodshed December 23rd, 2017 5:43 am

    Scott: Glad you enjoyed it!

    Jeanette: Well done! Looks like Bob Hope is as popular as ever!

    Only 13 this year. I’m slipping. Getting better at the chords, but missed #3 by a step. Thanks to the “he-he” in #11, finally figured it out. Thought I knew #20 but neither of the Olson twins was a choice!
