JTQ

Airline flights notwithstanding, she's still from Where Else.

And beware, TPTB, Sony may charge you if you try to steal J!'s "originally from" gimmick.

Q1: try to remember where I was at time of these events. That gives me the season. But was studying hard at time of Wall; don't think it was fall, but not sure. And OJ verdict wasn't that high on my radar (though I was sure surprised when it wasn't "guilty"). So tell audience I've ruled out A & D & give folksy stories of how/where I was, then ATA.

Q6: If composer isn't lying when naming, have to pick name that has right time signature. It would be an awfully jerky (literally jerky, as the piece doesn't provide opportunities to glide) waltz, but Chopsticks is in 3s, i.e. waltz time. One of the sisters started to discuss dance rhythms, then stopped. So sad.

I'd consider this a WWOQ. No idea, and since I've already used the JTQ I'll try ATA and then the +1.
