Tuesday evening on Zoom: a different kind of music game

[franktangredi]

This Tuesday, at 8pm EST, I will be hosting a Song Intros Game on Zoom. I did one last month, and people really seemed to enjoy it.

I will play the introductions to 50 songs. Identify the title and (in most cases) the artist. There is a pretty even distribution of popular songs across the last seven decades, 1950s-2010s, but with a smattering of Broadway, classical, tv themes, etc. People email their lists to me and then we have the answers/singalong. I'll publish the winners and the playlist afterward.

You can play with a partner if you want to - either someone you are quarantined with or someone you can communicate with privately during the game. It's all for fun anyway! (And the hootenanny is the real fun....)

If you'd like to play, send me your email address in a private message. I will send the Zoom invites in advance of the game.
