Lost Words/ New Words and Phrases

Currently trying out some ideas for a poem using the acrostic format that Robert Macfarlane used for his wonderful book. My lost words are all topical -ideas so far are Pub, Hug, Handshake, School, Sport, Shopping (well  I don’t miss that one) and possibly Holiday. New words I’ve been musing on are Covid 19, Testing, Spreading, Lock Down, Social Distancing, Self Isolating, Ramp Up, Significant Time. Anyone got any other thoughts?  Unlikely I will do all of the above.

Music theme for today’s questions. A mixed bunch-enjoy!

  1. What is the opening line of the Kinks song “Sunny Afternoon”?
  2. What is the stage name of Anna Mae Bullock?
  3. What was the town where the Rolling Stones formed?
  4. Only two artists have won Album of the Year on three occasions in the first 60 years of Grammy history. One is Frank Sinatra. Who is the other?
  5. “Hallelujah” is a song written by which Canadian singer?
