I still fall from time to time those click bait "quizzes" such as
"how much of this do you know/remember?" things. Those are a waste
of time but I still find myself clicking those...

Another good reason to not be on facebook... so many more chances
to waste time... <G> I can waste enough time doing the quizzes that
show up from time to time in Fido echoes... ;)

Quizzes in Fido echoes? Which ones?

Haven't seen any lately, actually... but there's been a couple of
Christmas ones that used to show up fairly regularly right here in
MEMORIES... I probably still have at least one of those... maybe I'll
post it when we get closer to Christmas... ;)

I put together an audio quiz for ALL:

name%20that%20artist%20and%20cd.mp3

The short url = https://tinyurl.com/y3jxndbw


It is a mashup of 7 intros of tunes, the 8th being a reprise of the 1st sample. Total time, 3 minutes.

Can you name the Artist, and the specific recording? All tunes are from
the same recording.

Heheheh! I tried to select "distinctive" opening riffs and cutoff the
sample right before the vocal starts. Lyrics would make the quiz way too easy and too tempting to cheat with google.

The tunes are pretty cool, aren't they?

I'll drop a clue or two in a few days.

Unfortunately, my computer can't do that sort of thing.... but I saw Joe
went and checked it out...
