SAGEBRUSH QUESTIONS


To help those under 70 points of second place leader, these people will score double for these and it won't count against their daily limit. Although it won't count as your daily, you can answer only one of these bonus questions per day. This offer is good until they get within range or The Blowout / Catch-up Round (last 5 week days of the month/game).

All others may answer, but for 20 points and it will count as your daily.

Name the artist for these songs:


S16. Machines
S18. One Voice

Good Luck !

Moby, better known as Richard Melville Hall, is a direct descendant of Herman Melville. The nickname "moby" was given to him as a child in honor of his great great granduncle's most famous work Moby Dick.
(Hope you meant ancestor, and I also hope I answered "why")
Question later...
