November 2022 Quiz - The Songs of November by Fran Joyce

This month I’m doing something different for our November Quiz. I’ve selected 16 songs with the word, “November” in the title. Your task is to match the first lines (or two) of the song with the correct title and artist/band. A couple of songs should be easy, but the rest, not so much.

You’ll see a few well-known songs and artists, but many are more obscure They are from several musical genres.  One of the songs listed is from Another Side of This Life: The Lost Recordings of Gram Parsons.

My purpose is to help you do something different this month. I hope you’ll listen to these songs on YouTube or whichever music streaming platform you use. Who knows you might find a new favorite song or artist. Good luck!

The answers to this quiz are on the last page of this issue – “Next Month in This Awful Awesome Life - December. You can keep reading articles and get there or use this link to the page, https://www.thisawfulawesomelife.com/home/2022/11/4/next-month-in-this-awful-awesome-life-december-2022
