Jam's (mostly) Prog World Cruise.

[JamForte(Admin)]

We are going to travel around the world - although I don't claim that it would be the cheapest ticket ... in terms of miles covered.

Each leg of the journey (or finishing point) is implied by a musical hint.

Places might be in the artist, song, album title or lyric - or even just implied.

I think that eveything is on the moon playlist - or at least common knowledge.

we'll start really easy .. and maybe get harder...

1. If you came softly (or maybe banging a gong) by camel caravan from hatfield & the north ... it would sound to me as if you were heading for our starting point.

Canterbury - Yespaz

2. Having indulged magnificently, we decide to go further afield - should we take a ride with Mr Hackett (Steppes) , or soar with Messrs Howe, Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford and Squire? (Siberian Khatru)not exactly - for this place we should play strip poker with Annie.

Mother Russia - Rennaisance
Russia - VAXman

3. It could it be that this exploit left us a little red-in-the-face or was it just our hurry(Rush) to buy a ticket? ... either way it was almost quarter past nine (21:12)by the time we took our seats on the train to our next destination.

A passage to bangkok - Rush

Bangkok - progdirjim

4. Go west young man! (although dollars are not the native currency here, they will still take them)... we take shufftie at the storms (to watch the storms) and decide to cross the tallest mountains on this trail rather than travel by sea.

The Silk Road - Steve Hackett
The Silk Road - KeithieW

5. A meandering trip next: first with Keith & friends to a holy city.. (Jerusalem) then to Gamalon's desert... dropping by to hear PC singing (oxymoron?) (sun) in the night (morocco) but actually... we fancy a little sun and, rather than wait for a break in the weather, we head across the water to break a stick (with a brick) in the sand at our destination.

San Tropez - Pink Floyd

San Tropez - KeithieW

6. ... We asked if we'd need keys for this travel.. and the answer came back in the affirmative - but to find our next position you'd have to reverse one the chap's solo efforts. [start and end for one point].

Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Wakeman

Iceland - Sneffels and Italy - Mount Etna - KeithieW

7. The longest leg of our journey takes us not to Jean-Luc Ponty's forest (Amazon).. but a little further north with Eithne.

Orinoco flow - Enya
Orinoco/Venezuela - progdirjim

8. O sweet Morpheus, No Red Nightmare I pray.. something more restful and less primary in hue...(tangerine dream) which leads us to a place neither North, Nor South but which is purportedly connected with the demise of creatures (dinosaurs)from a song by the band we first thought of...

Tangerine dream - Yucatan

Supposedly, a meteor impact here resulted in a winter that killed the dinosaurs.

Yucatan - progdirjim

9. ...for a little theatrical entertainment we would then head to a place in which the young Ovis (lamb)takes some repose (in the form of a doze? it's not clear.)

Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis
Broadway - KeithieW

10. At the end of our journey we find a band (Kansas), a center (of the USA)and (hopefully) a beer with the boss (Avian)(perhaps we stroll down a highway of maybe ocher/ochre surface).

Kansas - progdirjim

TEEE HEEE

[Yesspaz]

but no.1 is Cantebury.

Jeruselem.

[JamForte(Admin)]

Yes VAX.. we do go via Jerusalem .. but that's not the final destination in this leg.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

7 - Orinoco in Venezuela, maybe via the Amazon rain forest

and 10 must be Kansas (follow the yellow brick road...)

#6 I understand the clue but not sure I have the right song - maybe Australia?

8 - central America - Belize or wherever Jurassic Park was supposed to be...

3 - Bangkok (the only train song I could think of offhand)

[JamForte(Admin)]

progdirjim ..is on a roll .. and certianly on the right lines for #8 .. but think band & music chaps.. although I tried to make the geography (mostly) logical ..

It has to be "The Silk road"

Steve Hackett Watching the Storms album.

[JamForte(Admin)]

so far:

Yesspaz :1
Vaxman :1
Prodirjim:3
KeithieW :1

Australia is not right for #6

[Rick and Roll]

Much too busy today, and it's a shame - a beautiful quiz.

hint to Mr. Fortissimo - don't give the clues away too soon (like your fellow Englishman with the initials Keith Waye). A quiz should be savored.....or you could squeeze every last drop of blood out of it (like VAX).


Enjoy!

New York............specifically Broadway.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

Ovis=sheep

[Rick and Roll]

That keith would get the one concerning sheep

[Rick and Roll]

#8 - Tangier

Dinosaur off of Thhrak, then Sartori In Tangier from Beat!


OOOOOHHH ONE!

[JamForte(Admin)]

OK.. jim & rick have both sussed the creature...
but you still need to find the band...

Good thinking Rick .. I'd hate to be premature...

not tangier

Yesspaz :1
Vaxman :1
Prodirjim:3
KeithieW :2

and Keithie's heading up on the inside....

[Rick and Roll]

King Crimson? I looked up tangier and it fits the clue - aren't we looking for places?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

then #6 is either the Sahara - from "The Sahara of Snow" - or Siberia from "Springtime in Siberia" - as Bruford has a song "Back To The Beginning"

[Rick and Roll]

On #5, you don't mean the band Gamalon do you?

[JamForte(Admin)]

#8 tangier doesn't fit all of the clue... you need to find *another* band...

#6 there are two places implied by the answer to this .... a start and an end. Get one and you will aoutomatically get the other.

.. Looks like I didn't make it hard enough....

[JamForte(Admin)]

#5 sorry rick .. a speeling eeroor
- apologies.

... but it's only scenery.. part of the journey.. so doesn't alter the destination.
