Well, if you know any of the question marks feel free to make a contribution

Or corrections if need be.

Posted: **Mon Jan 29, 2007 9:54 pm**

Yes you have those correct.

I don't think having a book is cheating.

Thanks but help me out... There are four more to go and I haven't the slightest clue.

Thanks. I remember most of the stuff I read there. At one time using that book I had compiled a list of some famous folks' real names versus their stage aliases. Some names were real easy to remember. Can you imagine Elton still being called Reginald?
