    I didn't know 16. I was amazed at how the answers were just there after reading the first part. However, not remembering if I had breakfast or not this morning does not make me feel any better about remembering some 50 year old commercials, tv shows, songs..in dementia aren't we suppose to remember the old stuff? Guess I will hum the Lion Sleeps Tonight the rest of the afternoon...

      I missed #13.
      I never get anything about Buddy Holly right. Guess I wasn't that big a fan of his.
      (I wasn't a great big fan of Elvis, either. And it was embarrassing that Mom was screaming when watching him on the Ed Sullivan show. I actually asked her to pipe down a bit so I could get my homework done!).
      But I did like the Kingston a Trio a lot!
