15 sounds very familiar, but isn't coming to me fast enough...I'll check back after Lynne solves more!
I'm distracted because this is the first time I've been able to have the windows open in a week and there's so much hummingbird and goldfinch activity right outside I can hardly hear myself think! :-D
Great start Ruthiej-Enjoy the birds!-They're more important than this game.

Jayne-Very Good! Contributions seem to be evenly distributed.
Ron-The Trees may have been an obvious clue, but I don't think many in this group have listened to that album.
5 is Perfect Strangers from Deep Purple! Rock on!!!
Jochen-Cool! Thanks for the contribution.
It seems the only way I can play and be a success is to Google some lyrics. That would be cheating. So I'll just say, "Dunno".
Mary-better luck next time!
Glyniss Johns sang "send in the clowns" in the broadway cast album of A Little Night Music
Wren-Very Good!
I filled in the answers for the rest.
OK--so I haven't been able to read blogs lately--and you go and do your songbird lyrics and THEN SNEAK in some poetry?
And me an English major--banging head against door--I knew them!
kgmom-Please don't keep banging your head against the door, or you won't know them any more! I'll include a couple of lines from poems on the next game which will be September 12th-some time after 7pm
