NTN Encore Question of November 3rd, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA and Phil PLBAAB at The Frog & Firkin.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...3rd/8...JACK wins round. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...3rd/8. 0 for 2 in guessing and help on one other. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...3rd/8...PLBAAB wins round. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...3rd/8. I go 8 right and 1 wrong and got help on two of them. When I read recaps at home the last few weeks, I'm lucky to get four! JukeBox...ROCKET...17227/20000...5th/8...METLCA wins round...PLBAAB in lead. ...........LITBOX...17229/20000...4th/8. We picked Porter Wagoner the first question and I got the only question I could have answered right. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22165/28000...2nd/8...METLCA wins round. .........LITBOX...22164/28000...3rd/8. I took only one -250 this round and that was for the final question which is always a current hit. I had never heard that song. I got help on two others.

Now the Encore answers come up. English groups.
Encore Question:...Which rock band released the albums "Foxtrot", "Nursery Cryme", and "Trespass"?

I yell out the answer right after seeing the titles. Sean said he hadn't even had time to read the question.
Correct Answer:....3. Genesis
[NTN Extra Fact:...Jonathan King decided on the band's name.]
I reassure Phil that these are Peter Gabriel led Genesis albums before they became really famous in North America.
I'm right and stay in 2nd as ROCKET at 33247 points. I finish 15th overall in all North America. The bar is 7th in North America with a 33323 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 17000. Sean won and finished 10th on the Network Top 20 and 5th on this bar's Hall Of Fame board.
[NTN.com kept us in 7th place out of 1586 bars].
I knew the answer right away because I own those CDs. I was looking at them in the last month because I'd played the group's album 'Duke' and was sorting it back onto the shelf. Everything's pretty clear to me in the last month as my mother was taken to the hospital on October 15th and where she died on October 29th. It's going to be very difficult for my father and me to get through this period. I have a tribute set up for my mother on my site at Miriam
