Page 6, already! Nobody's gotten my #45, yet. I can reveal the answer, if asked.

I'm relisting this ad due to no responses. C'mon people, you know me, I'm currently the lead singer for the 101ers but am tired of playing blues and R&B. Willing to change my name, hairdo, wardrobe, etc. and not afraid to make a political statement with my music.

Ah, the Woody thing threw me there. The Clash.

And Spank. I, for one, give up.

You got it. Joe Strummer was enamored with Woody Guthrie and insisted everyone call him Woody. He wouldn't answer to his given name, John, and after changing his name to Joe Strummer he would get really angry if any of his old friends called him Woody.

Hey Spank, how bout another clue on #45 before we give up?

It's a wild guess, but Gordon Lightfoot?

Steve Dallman · #**108** 12-07-2012, 04:07 PM

I didn't read all the posts, but Wicked Lester was Kiss' name early on.

A final clue for #45: Think of the most eclectic (in terms of style-hopping) singer-songwriter to emerge from the late 70's, and remember that he is not Elvis Costello.

And so it is Joe Jackson!

Evidently the Cattanooga Cats. Never heard of them.

Any takers for the ad in post 97?

The Banana Splits.

I always thought there was a lawsuit in there somewhere between Hanna-Barbera and Bob Marley's estate.

The Banana Splits theme song; "Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la,"
and the refrain in Buffalo Soldier-"Oy-yoy-yo, oy-yoy-yoy-yo,"

Carry on...

Banana Splits is correct.

Never heard of them but "evidently" that is the answer?

Are you using Google for this?

No other guesses on post #75 from this morning?

I'd a thunk that was an easy one.

plankspanker13 · #**118** 12-07-2012, 06:15 PM

Long live the Splits!

Not particularly close.

Once again, with clarifications:

Ambitious rock trio with prog leanings looking for a skilled bass player. Stage antics not required; main singer has that covered. We all sing like opera divas, so no vocal skills required.

The odd hit song written would be appreciated, and if you're handy with a soldering iron the job is yours!
