Here comes the New Year! Time for more of the same. As some of you already know the game is easy to play. What's the bottom line here then?
All it requires is knowing what could it possibly be. Forgot? Or I am just taking an educated guess here with trying to get your attention for now with the moment over our time.
UPDATE: Whoaaaa! Solved!!

This is just one of another game to play over your time.
I am only here to promote your leisure time with lessening the load of keeping something else off your mind. By the way, could it be said that the moments caught are less known? Well, that is the challenge, isn't it?
UPDATE-SOLVED!!

One of the most known memories for many from that era was from the United Kingdom. It was never mistaken at being what it is. Memorable. This was thanks to a group of brass instruments and a piano at times. We all knew them. Did you know they had a very uncool name to themselves. True. Long before settling on what we all know today. Funny enough, they really weren't deemed at being big in that period, compared to other parts of the world. Only in the United Kingdom and Canada where they garnered a bigger response. Still, I remember them commonly on the radio then. Remember the those summer months of '79? Together, they had actually started out in the the later half of the 1960s, getting cash backed-up from a Dutchman they knew. He was their hope at the time. They even played around with their name too. Eventually settling on a what we know today. Actually, they were inspired by a book of someone very famous from years prior. Ever heard of William Henry Davies? He took away the cheesy name they almost settled on. About the recognized melody, it was actually thought of before the members had agreed to partner-up together with Roger. He had been much younger when he put it down for himself. Actually, more than ten years prior to what was eventually brought out. From the mid 70's, the men, they became more and more stronger as a unit together, especially with the sounds of a harpsichord mixed with a clarinet and the cool trombone. It set them apart from others at the time, providing them with what they really wanted. Can you think of any other now that you could compare them with? Together, they were individuals, who in numerous ways would be remembered for something that would become tirelessly great. Fact, there was a time when they couldn't be productive at all. You could laugh now, as in the Eighties, they were seriously known as being well-known around the world. Genuinely cool. It started with Crime of the Century, brought to us in 09/74. It could be said, they could've been overwhelmed by the explosion of hype around them. Luckily, this did not happen. How many do remember that? You? This wasn't disposable nonsense. They were inventive. But so were many others were at the time. They even brought themselves over to America to live in the country that eventually recognized them. It sounded too good to be true. They had made it. *E*

Did you know when it comes to a standard, I can't forget it. Just like you. Do you know about Bart Howard? A long-time writer from the past. It was his idea that really gave him a lift then. Especially in a few cabarets where it was basically heard at first. I don't think I have ever been to one of those places. Have you? Mister Howard eventually saw that things eventually changed with his composition being a success for himself. It lasted for years. Do you know that the man had an entire list of titles (49) that broke things open for him. This is what happens when you know how to get exposure with a lot of luck and efforts. Easier then (perhaps?) Originally, it was first heard way back in '54 in NYC. That must've been a fun time to be there. We know that. A lot of brilliant ideas were being signed with those you may know. Since then, it has become known across the country. The writer, he had chosen his words carefully, as it was once called "In Other Words". Did you know that Bart, he was getting his name across with his seperate works to the right people. Within a short time, the '54 number was redone by Frank in the seventh year of that decade. This was a time when Frank was getting a new start, revamping himself, as he was fallin' out from the rest who were rising over him, on a whole different level when compared to him. He just wasn't fitting in with trends, and was in danger of losing it all as others were more modern and "with it". In no time though, he accomplished a new rise with winning a golden man for a flick he was seen in at the time. Know it? Of course, things were not always good behind the doors. It's just the way things are for those who do that sort of thing. Now, he was rediscovered by more than women, all thanks to a lot of great chances to prove himself again. Show after show really did it for him. Remember? By the way, when it comes to the ambitious tune, people were really paying attention, as it was their second go together at it. It did well for both, especially with widening their social circle with close-ties along their way. The sparks were flying then for both with their careers on the move. It couldn't be avoided as both were eager with their creative efforts. They were then sure bets, and both hard to avoid with catching ears with a slew of invites around the world. They enjoyed each other too well, and could be seen together over the years doing significant work that hardened their partnership. On Basie, he was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, and is best remembered for the banner influential work he set in our culture throughout his lifetime. *E*

On December 1, 2011, Coca-Cola temporarily replaced its traditional red cans with a white design to draw attention to the plight of polar bears in the warming arctic. While the cause may have been good, the public's reaction to the move was overwhelmingly negative. People routinely mistook regular Coca-Cola for Diet Coke which comes in a silver can. The company received complaints from devoted fans of both Coca-Cola and Diet Coke: Diabetics and others who cannot consume sugary drinks were especially miffed when they bought the wrong product. Sales suffered as people who were looking for the traditional red cans couldn't find them. One convenience store owner in New Jersey reported that several customers tried to return opened cans when they realized they had purchased regular Coke instead of Diet Coke. On January 1, 2012, Coca-Cola ended the polar bear 'awareness program' and announced a return to the red cans of its popular 125-year-old beverage. The lesson of Coca-Cola's white can debacle? "Don't mess with the brand," said one marketing expert.

In the 4th year of the 1970's came something cool. So cool, that nowadays it would make you feel young again. Recall it? Sure. It had a long shelf life for those who understood them then. It could've been different though. It could of been very subjective to what it really was talking about. These days, it sure doesn't belong to a dance club for seniors or a cheering section in an arena. No, not at all. Campuses in the 1970's was more like it. How did you come about it? Easy answer. And for these reasons, it has lasted and lasted. It was off their 2nd effort then. Placed and organized in a specialized trucking unit built for getting the sounds all-down for us. You get the picture,right? So, after a few switches on the questionable original message, the strange friend in the story being said, now represented something very different. It was now a sensible change to the loss of what was 1st unfolded on paper. Becoming more than a tale of sadness due to a depiction of bad,bad stuff. Man, such a difference it makes, just for it to be heard again. I really dig 'em. What about you? It went to the third spot on the chart a year later, as people came to recognize them more and more from it. I love stick man Larry Lee restoring our happiness for then at this time. Unfortunately, I don't dig things associated with drugs. Nothing. But a good quality message came out of it. We all like that. It had an excellent flow. This is why it lasts. It really is that simple. It made such good sense. About their early times,they 1st joined together in '72, over in Springfield, Missouri. They looked quite extreme for back then, as their name was perfect, but their long stringy hair was something that made them stood out from the rest. Really? Most people could not get enough of their unique spectrum sized range of beautiful sounds. An increasing number of people still positively respond to them still thanks to their early beginnings. Did you know that they remain to this day in another form from then. They sure haven't left yet. Catch them around the summertime in person. *E*

One of the most important games in the history of the National Football League was the 1932 NFL Championship Game. It provided many firsts: Most significantly it was the NFL's first championship game--and it was the first NFL game to be played indoors. Prior to 1933 there was no official league championship game. The league title went to the team with the best record--which was often disputed because teams did not play anything resembling a balanced schedule. In 1932, both the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth (OH) Spartans had six wins and a loss. By rule, tie games were ignored in the standings. Portsmouth had four ties and the Bears had six! During the regular season, both games between the Bears and Spartans had ended in ties. With the NFL's blessings, the Bears and Spartans agreed to play a one-game tie-breaker at Chicago's Wrigley Field on December 18. However, a forecast of a blizzard and minus-40-degree temperatures prompted the game to be moved indoors to Chicago Stadium, an arena more suited for hockey than football. Dirt from a recent circus was spread on the arena's concrete floor to form somethin akin to a regular gridiron. The cozy confines forced some playing rules to be revised. Because there were only 80 yards between the goal lines, as soon as a team advanced the ball beyond midfield, it was moved back 20 yards! The goalposts were moved from the endline to the goal line (where they stayed until 1974). Also, because the field was ten yards narrower than usual, before every play from scrimmage the ball was placed between hashmarks ten yards from the sideline. Chicago won the game 9-0, all their points coming in the fourth quarter on a controversial forward-pass touchdown and a safety. (The touchdown play caused the NFL's passing rules to be modernized the following season.) Not long afterward the Spartans moved to Detroit and became the Lions. The game was a huge success and inspired the NFL to split itself into two divisions and hold an annual championship game between the divisional champs. That system determined the NFL champion each year until the Super Bowl era began in 1966.

The Washington Senators' 71st and last season in the American League came to a sad and strange end on September 30, 1971. Some 14,000 disenchanted fans came to RFK stadium one last time to see the home team play the New York Yankees in a meaningless contest. Many brought along insulting and obscene banners denouncing team owner Bob Short who had announced the team was relocating to Texas for the 1972 season. Love was showered on the players, though. Even the most mediocre Senators were given hearty cheers when they first came to bat. The loudest ovation was saved for slugging fan favorite Frank Howard who responded with a home run. However, things began to turn ugly in the eighth inning just after the Senators had taken a 7-5 lead. Here's Shirley Povich's account of what happened as it appeared in the next day's Washington Post: "As if in sudden awareness that the end of major-league baseball in Washington was only one inning way, the mood hardened. 'We want Bob Short!' was the cry that picked up in loud and angry chorus, and it was the baying-fury sound of a lynch mob.
Then a swarm of young kids, squirts who wouldn't know what it had meant to have a big-league team all these years, or what it would mean to lose one, flooded onto the field from all points of the stands. A public address announcement warned that the home team could forfeit the game unless the field was cleared, and pretty soon the game resumed.
It got as far as two out in the ninth, the Senators' 7-5 lead intact, no Yankee on base, when one young rebel from the stands set off again. He grabbed first base and ran off with it. Some unbelievers, undaunted by the warning of forfeit, cheered, and from out of the stands poured hundreds, maybe a couple of thousand fans. They took over the infield, the outfield, grabbed off every base as a souvenir, tried to get the numbers and lights from the scoreboard or anything else removable, and by their numbers left police and the four umpires helpless to intervene.
The mad scene on the field, with the athletes of both teams taking refuge in their dugouts, brought official announcement of Yankees 9, Senators 0, baseball's traditional forfeit count almost since Abner Doubleday notched the first baseball score on the handiest twig at Cooperstown. But by then the crowd-mood was philosophical, 'So what?' Or more accurately, 'So what the hell?' The Senators were finished, even if the ball game wasn't."
