My first quiz on this topic was so popular, and brought back so many memories, I decided to write a follow up. Enjoy the nostalgia and the quiz!

Gordon Lightfoot is, deservedly, a Canadian folk music legend. But here in Michigan, I've always loved him, too. Here are some questions about his life and songs. Have fun!

Having literally grown up in the 1960s, I often get nostalgic about the great shows that used to air on Saturday mornings. Some may have been forgotten, but hopefully, this will jog your memory. Have fun in 'nostalgia land'!

I was disappointed to find no quizzes about my favorite actress, the incomparable Bea Arthur ("Maude", "The Golden Girls"). So here's my 'trivial' tribute to this talented lady. Enjoy!

Because I was born on June 23, I wondered who else (famous folk, that is) had been born on that hot, summer's day (well, in 1957 it was, according to mother). Have fun!

Yep, I'm being cute with the title. Obviously, this is my second quiz on Michigan's links to Rock and Roll. While I tried to throw in some tougher ones, I think you'll have fun in any case!

I've written two quizzes about Michigan 'rockers', but now would like to give some credit to Michiganders who've made their mark in arts, letters and social issues. Enjoy learning about these talented, instrumental individuals from the Great Lakes State.

Since The Police hit the music scene in the late '70s, I've been fascinated by Sting. He's multi-faceted, multi-talented and absolutely fascinating. And...here's my quiz. Good Luck!

My dad, Gordon, would have been 95 this year. I've written two other quizzes about people named Gordon and wondered how many other famous 'Gordies' might be out there, either in first, middle or last names, in fact or fiction.

When most people think "Rock and Roll", Michigan isn't one of the first locations that come to mind. This is a quiz about rock and rollers from Michigan or rock and roll with a Michigan connection. Have fun!

In my opinion, Sharon Kay Penman is one of the finest modern writers of historical fiction. She combines extensive research, excellent characterization and fine writing to bring people and historical eras to life. Enjoy the quiz!
