I'll have a go then.

Can I have a connection (there are probably many) between Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Wings?

Linda Eastman took portraits of both Hendrix and Joplin when she was working as a photographer. And then she learned to play keyboards...

That's debatable!

I suspected there might be a few, but it's not the one I'm after. Think more musical (how difficult would that be?).

Bodyform adverts?

Much as I like Macca,I didn't think his missus did musical

Hmm.... something to do with Denny Laine perhaps?

clarion · « **Reply #306 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:09:15 pm »

I think it might be Chas Chandler, who may have produced them all at some point.

They all covered Bob Dylan songs?

nicknack · « **Reply #308 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:10:37 pm »

No, no, no and no.

Mitch Mitchell had some connection with Wings - did he fill in when the regular drummer was unavailable or something? And I believe he worked as a session musician for Joplin...

nicknack · « **Reply #310 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:15:13 pm »

Nope.

clarion · « **Reply #311 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:28:28 pm »

I checked Wikipedia - he auditioned for Wings, but didn't get it!

No connection I could find to Janis, though.

*keeps thinking*

You have albums by each of them in your collection?

They all toured with Johhny Hallyday?

Wild guess: the bloke that played Hammond on "Voodoo Chile"?

clarion · « **Reply #315 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:51:52 pm »

I think we're thinking of the wrong Wings.

There's one that supported Big Brother & The Holding Company, and I'm guessing that either Hendrix did too, at some point, or else Wings supported the Experience.

Clarion, have you been looking at Wikipedia?

clarion · « **Reply #317 on:** 19 January, 2010, 02:55:01 pm »

No, except to check Mitch Mitchell thus:

Oh, that Wings.

I thought this supposed to be a pop quiz, not a quiz about obscure entries in old duffers' record collections. Where are the questions about Tinchy Stryder and Katy Perry?

They have an i in each word of their names

nicknack · « **Reply #320 on:** 19 January, 2010, 03:09:57 pm »

It's the usual Wings.

And my music collection is utterly Wings free.

ditto. It's not a very good quiz, if this was in a Pub, I'd have thrown the towel in and be pissed by now, annoying everyone else.

Has it got something to do with Henry McCullough? He was in Macca's Wings for a while; he was also in Eire Apparent, who supported The ~~Garry Henpecked Exposition~~ Experience.

Can't think of a Joplin connection, but then I'm not terribly au fait with her stuff.

clarion · « **Reply #323 on:** 19 January, 2010, 03:14:48 pm »

OK, if it's Macca's Wings, I'm no closer to a solution

Never mind. Onward.

nicknack · « **Reply #324 on:** 19 January, 2010, 03:18:33 pm »

Mr L. has it. Apparently he was "romantically" associated with Ms Joplin for a while.
