Encore Question of April 20th, 2002.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with a group of four with Bill MADDOG and Marlo ZIGGY on my left and Richard BERGIE and Henry ROK on my right with noone in our way. I'm only playing one board as working Playmakers boards are at a premium tonight.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp....5000/5000...1st/12...in five way tie with BERGIE, ROK, MADDOG and ZIGGY. OnBeat...12750/14000...2nd/12...COSMO wins round with a perfect round and holds lead with 13000...I'm 8 right, 1 wrong and wasn't disappointed. JukeBox...17998/20000...1st/12...MADDOG wins round but is in 5th while I take lead...our group has control of the categories we want. Triviaoke...24748/28000...1st/12...PEACHY wins round...not too difficult with most questions only having two logical possiblities except that I stayed on one for -250.
The answers come up with quite a choice here. The question could be about anything. My book was already open at Jimmy Page as I checked an answer to a question from a game earlier tonight. I bookmark Tim McGraw and Gloria Estefan (Melissa Etheridge was on the next page).
Encore Question:..."The Truth Is" is an autobiography of this music star?
.

I don't know this but am thinking two possibilities. Jewel has written books but maybe it's poetry but the title of the book could be Melissa Etheridge and her life something like her album "Yes I Am". Our group thinks it's Melissa Etheridge. About Jewel, Henry says "Too young". OK we're all in. My book doesn't help for this question.
Correct Answer:...4. Melissa Etheridge
[NTN Extra Fact:...In it, she discusses her music and her alternate lifestyle].
The game makes a circle somewhat to the first question in TuneUp when the answer was NOT David Crosby who is the biological father of her partner's children.
I win and finishes 24th in North America missing the Network Top 20 by about 200 points. The bar finishes 9th in North America with a 36150 average. Of course if it's like last week we'll disappear by Monday. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points on both boards for meeting this week's 19000 point standard. I also displace two of my old scores on our Hall Of Fame placing both 3rd and 4th in the same game.
