Had some fun with this last week so let's do it again.
First person with all three correct answers gets a care package from yours truly.

1. What TV show was Roths "Druid Princess" originally scheduled to appear on?
2. What year were the NHRA Nats held in Oklahoma City.
3.For those of you who thought these were too easy, Years ago there was a song that hit the charts called " The Deck of Cards" The story was about a soldier who was chastised for shuffling through a deck of playing cards while in church. He went on tho explain what that was his "bible" and what each suit and card represented to him. The question is... Who was the artist who had the hit with this song? Hint: It was released in 1959

There you go boys and girls, rodding, racing, and music. Let the games begin. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The first one I knew... that's The Adam's Family, but the show was canceled before Roth finished the car.

The others I looked up, so I won't ruin them for anyone else who really knew the answers.

That's fun, thanks Gordon.

I've looked 'em up too, but that doesn't count?

It would probably be more fun to let the game continue!

Ah! Well the singer would be Wink Martindale. Hit number 11 on the country charts in 1959. He was the host of the 70s game show, Gambit, as well as more reciently, Tic Tac Dough. Listen to the song here. (http://www.letstalkoldies.com/DeckOfCards.ram)
