A half-decent score of 4 for me this week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52817918 (I think that it's probably one of the easier weeks this week, with the third question being one that I'm sure...
Well, I managed to persuade a few adventurous people to sample some music from the Netherlands earlier this week, so now let's see if there are any takers for this fantastic track from the German...
Yesterday I posted a Youtube vid of a Dutch singer, Danny Vera, that met with widespread approval here. However he was singing in English, which obviously made it easy for people to enjoy his music....
. . . that you've probably never heard of ;-) Here's a great song to start your day. Danny Vera's got a voice similar to that of Glen Campbell, with a song-writing style possibly more akin to that of...
Piggynose has already reported a magnificent (and maximum) score of 7 elsewhere, so I'll start off with a "BRILLIANT!" for Piggnynose! My own score is a far more modest (and middling) 4 though. [I'm...
