RE: Extra Credit Questions
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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2s2tPORlW4 So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
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
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.

I think the play was entitled Love or Livery.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
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
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. |

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