…but she and Rosie FLUNKED OUT w/ M and W, respectively, so Dave solved SINGING GROUP OR STATE for $1,100. Did he know the bonus answer for $250? I can tell you there were two correct answers, but Dave was wrong w/ New York. Mary…was also incorrect w/ Texas. Rosie said Kansas, which was originally ruled incorrect, but there is the band most famous for “Carry on Wayward Son”, so she got the money avter the next break. Alabama was also the other answer.
