> [@Lisa-go-Blind](#): > > Bump. I still have four questions left… > > 1. What was rudely carved on a beech tree? (two possible answers) Nancy was here & Nancy loved me - from Belle & Sebastian’s ‘We Rule the School’. One that annoys me: JBW4: On the album “_Too Long In Exile_”, Van Morrison & John Lee Hooker team up for a duet and ‘cover’ **Them** ’s old chestnut **Gloria**. Van, (the pompous perfectionist that he’s alleged to be), knows how to spell Gloria: G-L-O-R-I-A. John Lee Hooker, on the other hand, probably isn’t as educated as Van and has a little problem with his spelling. Of the +/-2 dozen times John Lee spells Gloria, he omits a letter about 20 times. What letter does he omit? ---
