I think that the bulk of the musicians likely to be identified have now appeared, so I'll declare the quiz finished. Thanks for playing!

If you'd like to see more of the list, take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

Kumabjorn has a healthy lead with 5 points, so it's all yours, K.

4. Well, I thought they were all female, so there you go. I think Terpsichore was the muse of the dance - the name was used for a famous collection of Renaissance dance music by Michael Praetorius.

Sorry, Bookpossum... She asked for the male member of the muses who inspired dance. Terpsichore was female. Actually, there were NO male muses... and that's what threw me. I believe she was thinking of Satyrs, who are associated with the muses and dance.

As for the Goddess of Magic, I blew that one. I think we all know the name and forgot where we first heard it... Double, double, toil and trouble... The ONLY one of the three witches named in Macbeth!

I'll have a question for you all shortly. I know just what I want to put up, and I think it will be fun!
