Encore Question of July 20th, 2002.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with Bill OH YA, Doug CRANKY, Bill MADDOG, and Marlo ZIGGY. We're having a pretty good game although Rob and Sean at one of the tables are winning the game with their three boards. Still with the right answer, our bar can have a good score.
My game so far had gone like this with my two boards: Tune Up...ROCKET...4500/5000...2nd/9...COSMO wins round with 5000. ...........LITBOX...4500/5000...2nd/9. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...3rd/9...COSMO and LITBOX win round with 8/9. ..........LITBOX...12500/14000...2nd/9...This is the first week I've been here that incorrect OnBeat answers don't count as -250. I have gradually fallen off keeping up on current news events so I was lucky this week. JukeBox...ROCKET...17419/20000...3rd/9...LITBOX wins round and takes lead. ..........LITBOX...18414/20000...1st/9. Triviaoke...ROCKET...23718/28000...5th/9...MADDOG wins round. ..........LITBOX...24748/28000...2nd/9...COSMO has lead.
The answers come up and this would be something about soul singers. Oh well, in with 50% answer.
Encore Question:...Al Jackson and James Mitchell were one time bandmates of this king of soul music:

I don't know this. I wonder if my book would help me? I stopped bringing it for a few months now. What do I have two boards for? Well I can split. Let's cover Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. Everybody's on their own but I don't take Bill MADDOG's selection.
Correct Answer:...3. Al Green
[NTN Extra Fact:...He was also backed by tenor saxophonist Andrew Love and trumpeter Wayne Jackson.]
I don't feel so bad as after I got home I couldn't find this fact in my music book for any of these four sidemen.
I'm wrong and drop to 5th and 8th. I finish with 12374 for LITBOX and 11859 for ROCKET. No individual rankings are given this week preventing further embarassment. The bar is ranked 11th in North America with a 25591 average. I earn only 1500+ Players Plus points for failing to meet this week's 20000 standard. MADDOG wins.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank NTN Top 100 COSMO 25686 x 12843 (only Americans were listed LITBOX 24748 x 12374 on the the NTN website). METLCA 24307 x 12153 LIZZY 24066 x 12033 ROCKET 23718 x 11859 MADDOG 23168 34752 20th on Network Top 20 CRANKY 23073 34609 ZIGGY 22254 33381 OH YA 21172 x 10586
Other games:...I start the evening with 2,304,000 P+ for ROCKET and 243,300 P+ for LITBOX when I get a second board.
