Favorite Alexa Apps: Song Quiz by Volley Inc.

Listen to thousands of songs by your favorite artists from the past 60 years!

Guess the correct title and artist for points. Challenge your friends and family in live competitions or compete head to head against music fans across the country! Master playlists from each decade.

THE BEST MUSIC TRIVIA FOR ALEXA
◆ Playlists from every decade: 2010s, 2000s, 90s, 80s, 70s, and 60s!
◆ New music added often!

This great app uses actual clips from the songs, not just Alexa read lyrics as some others do.

This is a regular go-to app with our friends whenever we are having dinner and drinks together. Sure, we tend to list ourselves to the 60’s and 70’s playlists, but hey, we’re old! (LAUGH)

Supports multiple players and network play with other Alexa users. Also keeps track of high scores for each user. Even in a group, we often just play as 1 user to simply the game and have shorter periods of play, but each person can play separately if you wish.

This app has undergone major updates over the months we have been playing it and gets better each time.

Highly Recommended

Shared calendars are one part of an organized family

by Douglas E. Welch , techiq@welchwrite.com 206-338-5832 Reader/Listener Line As a parent with a school-age child, I often hear other parents bemoaning their disorganized existence. Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more. Add in more than one kid and organizing your life can quickly become a nightmare. This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything. If someone -- is required to be somewhere -- at sometime, it goes into the calendar. If we are given a calendar that reflects all the events for a particular activity (say, Little League), all these events immediately go into the calendar, along with notations on whether we are providing the team snack, working in the snack bar, etc. Even events that occur anytime during the day, like family birthdays, and other rem
