Blogdumps - Top Sites Tuesday #16

As you may have guessed I like quizzes and trivia! I don't really enjoy going too deeply into a subject, I just love knowing a little about a lot of things. Sometimes I envy people who can get to grips with a topic and become an in depth expert, and then I'm amazed when it turns out that's all they seem to know!! It takes all sorts!

In keeping with today's "Two Topic" theme, I'll expand on my love of Judie Tzuke's music. I chose "Stay With Me Till Dawn" as my favourite song of hers as it is probably the most accessible and was her only chart hit - 30 years ago (July 1979). But 16 Studio Albums, 5 Live Albums and 5 Compilations she's still going strong. My two favourite songs of hers are "Understanding" and her cover of Jackson Browne's "Lives in the Balance". Have a look at her MySpace page for some up-to-date songs and her own website to maybe even purchase a CD or two (no, I'm not on commission!!) Judie has also been working with other artists such as Lucie Silvas, Morcheeba, Freemasons and many more including daughter Bailey! (And if you like a bit of Trance check this remix of "Don't Look Behind You" by American DJ Seth Hutton!)

Your Tuesday questions are: -
  1. How many prisoners were freed when the Bastille was stormed today in 1789 marking the start of the French Revolution?

  2. Gerald Ford (right), 38th President of the United States, was born with what name today in 1913?

  3. The so-called Football War started today in 1969 between which Central American countries?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Ruth Ellis; 2. HOLLYWOODLAND; 3. Ernö Rubik

Judie Tzuke - 30 Years On

It is almost 30 years since one of the best songs of all time was in the British singles charts - "Stay with Me Till Dawn" by the fantastic Judie Tzuke! Although it never reached the Top 10, in 2002 it was voted the 39th Best British Song by listeners of BBC Radio 2 (one place above "Life on Mars" by David Bowie)! Since 1979, Judie has released 16 studio albums, 5 live albums and there are 5 compilations...all can be found here.

Thirty years on Judie is still producing excellent music through her own record label (Big Moon Records), collaborating with many other artists and her daughter Bailey has already had a Top 10 hit ("Uninvited" with Freemasons) with a debut album imminent!

Anyway onto Tuesday's teasers
