The quizmistress is giving a pained whimper and tilting her head to the side - Johnny Cash is not the answer to this question.

Grrr (to be fair, recording was not this person's main activity)

That's the first I've heard about Hendrix being the cause of the parakeet population - I've heard mating couples escaped from the Great Exhibition, or else they got out of London Zoo.

That is interesting. I wonder who Young named his racehorse Drunk Nutter after then?

It was mentioned on The One Show so it must be true.

6. Wasn't there an American president who had parakeets called Bluebell and Marybelle? Could have been George Washington, but I can't recall he ever recorded a best-selling album. :confused:

Many racehorses derive their names from a combination of their parent's names (lineage being so important in Horse Racing.) So this horse's Dam was drunk and his Sire was a nutter. Or vica versa.

Poor old Checkers, the shame.

I expect any animals in Teddy Roosevelt's vicinity lived in trembling fear.

I appear to have been given a point for a question I didn't answer.
