Rock N Roll Fridays

The site where I used to get my Rock N Roll Friday memes has decided that they are done and will no longer be posting the questionnaires.   Such a bummer!  I am going to try and go back through their archives to see if there are any that I had not previously done and I will try to do those every Friday until they run out.  It was one of my favorite memes and I am sad to see it go, but I understand that everyone has to move on at some point!

If you happen to come across any music-related day of the week memes – please let me know 😉
