Well, they did start out pretty easy, but got harder as they went along. I think I know 13 of the 18. Fun quiz, Ben. Good collection of browns for this week! Happy almost Monday to you! :-)
Hi Ben, this is a good quiz. I got a few of them. Happy Monday to you.
My, you out-did yourself on this one. At least, I got the easy ones:) Happy Monday!
I got more than 50%, but the songs stump me.( Except for Mr Croce's.) Great job on the brown quiz. I will await the answers..
Have a good Monday.
Ben..
excellent Quiz..
100%..
guess I'm either really bright..
or just really old..
and have a mind full of utterly useless trivia..
until YOU present a Brown Quiz!
Charlie brown is my Fave..

hugs and smiles..

Very cute. I did pretty good this time.
Will I ever get tired of listening to Bad Bad Leroy Brown? Nope!
Sheesh Ben, I thought this was a gimme, the way I started out. But then I came to #8, 9 & 14!! I recognized #9, but his name escapes me...I'm guessing his last name was Brown! Clueless about 8 & 14 though. Happy Brown Day to you. Will be returning for the answers!
This is the first week I've been able to answer a couple of them. Number 12 certainly was easy for me considering I'm blogging from Scotland.
Great brown quiz today! I'm certain of 13. Fun!
Awesome Brown Post Ben!
Who knew Brownie had so many meanings!
Great brown post! I got 15 out of the eighteen. I love remembering the color related trivia. Great job! Maybe next week I can get them all.
I will slap the answers up there tomorrow night... Way to go Loui!
I didn't think brown was my color, but I had my best score to date on this quiz. You came up with a great variety of browns.
