Time for a new quizmaster.
Sorry for leaving you all hanging out to dry with my last quizâŚit seemed to stall and then I headed over to Melbourne and forgot all about it.
Final answers were (and I really donât think it was that difficult Wim )
Clue 1. He was the wizard of a thousand kings / And I chanced to meet him one night wandering /He told me tales, and he drank my wine /Me and my magic man kinda feelinâ fine
The Wizard / Uriah Heep
Clue 7. My girl Friday, she no square / She like lotus blossom in her hair / Be-bop records and something new / Sometimes borrowed, but sheâs never blue

The Dangerous Type / The Cars
Clue 11. Well, he sits up there on his leatherette / Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasnât had yet / When he thinks he wants a closer look / he gets out his little black telephone book
King Of Hollywood / The Eagles
Clue 12. was talking with a friend of mine / said a woman had hurt his pride / Told him that she loved him so / and turned around and let him go
