Eva, thanks for posting the lyrics to Under the Parisian Sky. Now that I know what the words mean, it's a very beautiful song.
She also doe a nice version of Autumn Leaves

Who made this observation about Lincoln?
"He didn't wear clothes. Rather, clothes hung upon him as if on a rack to dry, or on a loose ladder up a wind-swept chimney. He had clothes to keep the chill or the sun off. His clothes seemed to whisper, 'He put us on when he was thinking about something else.' The stovepipe hat sort of whistled softly: 'I am not a hat at all; I am the little garret roof where he tucks in little thoughts he writes on pieces of paper'."

Wow, asked and answered before 6:00 A.M. You are absolutely correct, Blaine. You win a lifetime free pass to Connemara.

On Febr.10,1865, Abraham Lincoln attended Ford's Theater.
1. What play did he watch?
2. Who accompanied him?
3. Who was starring? (Name one "well-known" person.)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 04-17-2014 09:08 AM
I believe Lincoln was accompanied by General Grant on that occasion. But, I don't know the answers to the other questions; unless John Wilkes Booth played a starring role.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-17-2014 09:22 AM
I think the play was entitled Love or Livery.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-17-2014 12:57 PM
Very good, both of you!
1. Is answered correctly.
2. Grant is correct, but there was someone else with them. Who?
3. Booth leads into the right direction.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-17-2014 02:20 PM
Eva, the other person was General Burnside?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-17-2014 09:29 PM
Brilliant, Roger, that is correct, too! The three men went alone (no female company).
So there's still the star left who was "related" to JWB.

This clue makes me think John Sleeper Clarke.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-18-2014 08:40 AM
...and this is correct, too! Well done!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-30-2014 10:33 AM
A man Abraham Lincoln knew very well was married to a lady whose first name was America? Who was this man?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-30-2014 06:51 PM
In hope you will give a hint, I just guess it was not he:

This is just a guess, but I'm thinking of two people I think could be possibilities- perhaps Jack Armstrong or James H. Matheny?
