As we have several reserved DQs, I won’t tackle any more IQs. Please ask all remaining earned DQs in the next 48 hours.

302

DQs:

  1. Canadian or Native American?
  2. Created after 1970?
303

DQ: Created by a female songwriter?
I can only think of five Canadian/First Nations songwriters, and three of them are female.

304

DQ: Top 40/Pop genre?

1 DQ remaining, doubt I’ll be able to use it for the game guess. I am genuinely stumped.

Let me think… Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen and Paul Anka are all Canadians who were active then…

307

It could be a rock song, and Canadian artists of that period include The Guess Who, Steppenwolf & Neil Young.

308

Ian Tyson…

309

Hank Snow…

310

Denny Doherty is Canadian, and I think Zal Yanovsky is, too.

However, I can’t come up with any sort of answer. :frowning:

311

DQ: Are you the Captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

312

I don’t recall his name, but no, I am not.

313

I don’t think he was named. Just “the captain”.

314

Are you Champagne Charlie?

315

I am not.

48 hours having passed, I will tell you that "

Virgil Caine

is the name, and I served on the Danville train…"

Well, no use playing Botticelli anymore, 'cause EH has taken the very best. :slight_smile:

Good one.

317

Well, I certainly never would have thought of him! Good (but fiendish :D) choice.

318

I know the tune, I know the chorus, but I didn’t know the words. You really strained my brain on this one, EH.

319

Thanks, all. That was fun! Our next letter is

A
