NTN Encore Question of May 27th, 2006.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Phil PLBAAB and Cat METLCA. Sean isn't here tonight and so Rob is working two boards so we can rank the bar until one of Phil's friends arrives and Rob gives her his METLCA board near the end of the OnBeat round.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...1st/11...our five boards co-win with MIRCAT and SIGSEV. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...1st/11. I went 1 for 3 in guessing. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...1st/11...our five boards win round. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...1st/11. 8 right and 1 wrong was great. I was given help on two of them. I just happened to see a video by The Wreckers earlier today or I wouldn't have known Michelle Branch was in that group. I wasn't punished so far for missing some Country music awards show during the week. JukeBox...ROCKET...16982/20000...2nd/11...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...16961/20000...3rd/11. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22649/28000...2nd/9...ROCKET wins round. .........LITBOX...22591/28000...2nd/8. I take one -250 this round and that was on the first question when I switched answers.

Now the Encore answers come up. These groups are pretty scrambled around. I'm thinking it would be a question about a venue they played.
Encore Question:...Which band cooked up something special with "Soul Kitchen"?

Phil says it's not Black Sabbath. I'm a bit slower and can hear Jim Morrison singing that title. I say it's The Doors. Yeah I check with Rob, it doesn't say it was an album title. If it isn't The Doors, I have a gripe against the writers. I don't know the other group's songs well enough to know every title.
Correct Answer:....3. The Doors
[NTN Extra Fact:...All four Doors members received songwriting credits on this song from their debut album.]
I'm right and stay at 2nd as ROCKET. I finish 21st at 33973. The bar is 13th in North America with a 31668 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 15000 points. Rob wins and is 16th on the Network Top 20 and 7th on this bar's Hall of Fame Top 10 for best scores in the last year. [ntn.com kept us in 13th place out of 1826 bars]
