Encore Question of April 24, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.

Answers:

  1. Vince Gill
  2. Alan Jackson
  3. Toby Keith
  4. George Strait
  5. Aaron Tippin

I'm in 9th place behind the six Regulars controlling eight boxes. I have 19566 points and should risk low because I don't follow Country music much, yet if I'm wrong I'd still earn 3000 Players Plus points for staying over the 17000 standard. The Regulars will be all right or all wrong in their bloc so anything can happen and leaves risking 10% making even more sense. The group I was with started leaving in the Triviaoke round to play pool as soon as the hockey game ended. Toronto beat Philadelphia 2-1 with their two goals coming in the last two minutes of the playoff game.

My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....4000/5000....9th/16...DBA wins this round with 5000.
OnBeat...10500/14000...11th/16...PHREDD wins with a perfect round and has 13500.
JukeBox...14132/20000...??/16...ENIGMA wins round.
Triviaoke...19566/28000...9th/17...JARVIS wins round.

I risk 50%.

Question:...The title track of his 'Breath Of Heaven' album was written by Amy Grant.

I don't know who this is. I can't even eliminate any of the choices. For a very unusual hunch I guess Toby Keith early and don't change. Earlier in the evening a woman started talking to me and I went over to sit with her and her mother and talked. She'd recognized me from years before in the neighbourhood a few streets over. I skipped the entire 9:30pm Sports game to talk about what happened to all the kids we knew. I learned more from tonight than any of the school reunions I'd ever attended. Why not guess that a kid on her street whom I was sure was named Toby Keith would have a namesake?

Correct Answer:.......1. Vince Gill

Extra reply..."Gill is backed by a big band orchestra on this 1998 Christmas album".

Nope. Can't remember that one. It's not on the Billboard chart now but that's probably because it's seasonal. I'm wrong and finish with 9783 points. I fall to 10th place and finish 6835th in North America. I earn only 1500+ Players Plus points. The bar is 4th in North America with 34043 average. PHREDD wins and is 11th on the North America Top 20 board and is 9th on our Hall of Fame board.

Here's how our bar did:
