Boy oh Boy, did I ever blow this one, 2 of 10…I am so embarrassed….! I was 10 in 1965 and had just started playing guitar. I would sit for hours listening to records on my record player learning the songs. Most of the songs I learned were classic Rock-n-Roll…..! Oh well….!

2. A yak
3. A fuzzy sweater

2? Though I have a friend with a golden retriever named Wooly Bully who likes to dance. I am trying to get him to say "watch it now" but all I get is "woof".

8/10 I'm content with that. I was 9 at that time so it took bit of deductive reasoning.

7/10, but not too bad for only having been 8 years old at the time.

"You got 10 out of 10. Print and laminate this as your OFFICIAL proof of '60s music fandom! You rock!" Number 2 was real tough as I had to take a guess on the last two options, but fortunately.....
