NTN Encore Question of May 10th, 2008.
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, Phil PLBAAB and Cathy CAT.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/11...my two win with COSMO and METLCA. ...........LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/11...I finish 0 for 1 in guessing. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...1st/11...most of us go 7 for 9 to win round. ..........LITBOX...11500/14000...1st/11...Rob gets us one right and one wrong actually pulling me off Kylie Minogue and Cathy gets us the American Idol question which we all would have missed. JukeBox...ROCKET...17489/20000...2nd/11...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...17479/20000...3rd/11. Triviaoke...ROCKET...25468/28000...1st/11...my two boards win round. ...........LITBOX...25458/28000...2nd/11...I take no -250 scores this round. I'd even heard the Neil Sedaka song 'Calendar Girl' recently and knew the unusual answer 'Easter Bunny'.

Now the Encore answers come up. Female singers. This could be anything but I spend my time getting my new Sansa MP3 player to 'record' this last question although I have my microrecorder for back-up.
Encore Question:...In 1980, Kenny Rogers sang "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer" with:

Rob says the answer first. I answer with him but it takes me awhile to mentally cycle through the song and ensure it was the rasp of Kim Carnes and not Dottie West I remember hearing. They make fun of Rob knowing this but I had 'Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits' years ago on vinyl and eventually replaced it with '20 Greatest Hits' on CD.
Correct Answer:....3. Kim Carnes
[NTN Extra Fact:...It was the first of several duets Kenny would have on the Top 40 charts.]
I'm right and win as ROCKET at 28202. I finish 9th on the Network Top 20 board for all North America and the bar is listed as 7th on the Network Top 20 with a 37469 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 21000. I finish 2nd out of 8 on this bar's newly reset Hall Of Fame board.
(ntn.com kept us in 7th out of 1828 bars)
