Sorry if I got it wrong, I didn’t realise. I scrolled down for several minutes trying to find it after I saw them announcing the rules, but couldn’t see it, then gave up and went to the host’s own page to find the keywords and replied to that, I thought.

Yes, the songbooks are such a great source of titles and lyrics, and the songs she covered in my favourite concerts of hers and on other albums gives me even more options. I don’t quite have a shrine, but my friends and family all know my love of her.

Ticket To Ride was one of the best rated family games by serious gamers, and I bought the Europe version (since we’re British and know those countries best) for my young adult children as a Christmas extra a couple of years ago. It became a family favourite immediately.

Agreed. I had to listen it the other night as a remedy to the song being thumped out by a jazz septet, giving no change to the Tony-nominated singer to express the lyrics.
