CORRECT ANSWER !
CONGRATULATIONS! Ron - you got one of the difficult ambigs in the bunch,
well done !


NEW REMINDER OF WHAT CLUES ARE LEFT SYSTEM: I am using a new symbol and full list status system as shown below:
Note: If this for any reason is awkward in use for any player, please don't hesitate to say so
.
Char had wisely recommended "reminder" lists here and there, this automated version should be more thorough, quicker, and more accurate in keeping status from "Host error" lol.

X in the main list to the right means a successfully answered clue, or we can institute other notations, but I see no need now for that. The main list where clues are first given is automatically updated as well, for those who wish to look at the "original'

NOTE: X MEANS ALLREADY WON & DONE !

Q161....glass....

Q162....evergreen

Q163....ten dollars....

Q164 Whisper.... X Won correctly by Ron !

Q165....pyre....

Q166 Bells....

Q167....tin

Q168....throng....

Q169....friendly, when your

Q170....like turpentine

Song: Does Your Mother Know

In the faded winter light
Just tell her, they tell her

Isn't that a violation of the 'dots rule" ?

Here we go again.

Yes, you are interpreting the rules correctly.

I may be wandering into geo steve's jurisdiction, but here's a slight clue :
It's one of Lightfoot's lesser-known songs, and I don't think I've ever seen it on anyone's list of favorites.

Q168 ....throng....

I'd say Redwood Hill but I don't think the dot rule works here geo Steve.

I climbed a Redwood Hill
'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the throng
and talk with mother nature for awhile ~ GL


Are we allowed to make it one giant sentence? LOL!!

Then how about I handily combine the nifty dots and dashes . . . _ _ _ . . . and have a little fun. Any guesses?

It's open to various interpretations, but my understanding is that the word between dots is not the beginning word or the last word in a lyric.

I encourage everyone to join Oh, Linda in her campaign to have a "one giant sentence" rule.
