"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

I only knew Jelly Roll because Van Morrison is a fan and I guessed from that he probably played piano.

"Exile I agree Yehudi Menuhin wasn't really a Jazz great. Just a bit of licence needed on the phrasing of the question. Mind you some might argue that although not a prolific player of Jazz. What he did play was great. Anyway, his name was really included to cover a range of instruments."

"ZebtheCat, Of course, you can join in, the only reason you weren't on the list was you hadn't submitted a score since September. You still had the 4th highest score. You will notice we have started scoring again."

"I know 6, a couple more are possibles. Can I just point out that Yehudi Menuhin was never a jazz great. Yes, he did have a little dabble once with Stephane Grapelli, but he was a classical musician."

1. Should have stayed a spectator. Just reminded myself I am getting old when I spent all day waiting for Jodie Whittaker's name to come back into my head. In vain as it turned out.
