    06. Harp
    07. Abbey Road Studios
    08. Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong
    10. His left arm
    11. “Peter Pan”

  2. Well, Carlo already got a few that I knew, so I’ll go for the others:

    1) I think that was ABBA.

    2) That’s a tricky one. I think it may have been the Beatles, because of the re-release of “Got to Get You Into My LIfe.”

    12) Sir George Solti?

    13) Thelonius Monk

    14) The Beach Boys

    15) I’ll guess London.

    Sorry, I’m musically challenged. I only knew #10 & #11, but Carlo already had them! Good luck.
