[Trivia Guru]

Stick a fork in me.....I'm done.......

or shall I say burnt. Since the first week in December I've been posting trivia questions from basicly my general knowledge of music and googling to check my facts. I realized these past 2 or 3 weeks that I'm not that smart.....

(rimshot)

My current workload has increased and I really don't have alot of time to research a trivia question daily and feel that the job could be done better in someone elses hands......I've enjoyed the time I've spent building this library of basic music bullshit, and hope that someone else would like to take over the reigns. If anyone is interested, you can PM me and we'll set it up with Mixerman.....

It's been a fun ride.....



The Guru is out.....

[Trivia Guru]

OVER AND OUT !!!!
