I was stuck on Leon Russell and the Carpenters, so listened to A Song For You. Not close to the clues though but she did have a great voice. I read she recorded it in one take.

Mike, I didn’t know what that mileage clue and the moon was, but Peter Allen came up with the line when he was stuck on a plane at JFK. One story was that he was waiting to take off and the moon was between JFK and NYC. Another story says he was in a holding pattern. The clue didn’t throw me though because I was stuck listening to a Carpenter’s song that wasn’t in the mix…great game!

Craig, I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and next iteration will be streamlined and all kinks gone.

I didn't know that was Peter Allen's line! A much better one than the filler, "I know it's crazy/but it's true." And the thing is, no one can ever make an analogy/metaphor, like that, again, it can only be done once, and so Peter Allen got their first and OWNS that bit of songwriting real estate.

--I mean, between "Pluto and Poughkeepsie" won't cut it, especially after Peter Allen's. So okay, that line was never gonna cut it, but you get my drift. wink
