Boy, you people almost cleaned me out on the first pass! The next one's going to be harder.
Taoist: All three correct. Well done.
Karen: Right song. I was thinking Ralph McTell or even Don Mclean, but I'll take your word for it that P,P&M also did it.
Fuss: All three spot on. What more can I say?
Zella: Two good shots. It has taken all my will power, but I will accept Bob's spelling of Kat(h)mandu.
Kenny: Yes, Kenny. That is correct.
Feiticeira: Very good on getting No.1 and No. 20. I'm a bit confused on No.5, though. I'm not sure whether you're quoting a different song or cover versionsof the right song. It's definitely called "Down to London", but I think the original was Joe Jackson.
Princess of Pop: Had to throw an Aussie song in there! Good get.
Chris: No on No.13. Karen had already picked the song. Well done on No. 19, though. I was expecting that to take a bit longer than it did.
Indy Gent: What a great tune. Haven't heard it for years! WD
Billy Florio: Congratulations! Few would pick Robert Johnson's original lyrics because most of the modern covers use "... back to that same old place...". Well done.

Billy,
Robert Johnson's lyrics do make sense. He wasn't referring to the state of California. In the mid to late 1800's, there was a gold rush in California so rich that "California" became a euphemism for money. The delta bluesmen found that they couldn't make any money down south; playing the barrelhouses barely got them enough to live on. But, if they went to Chicago, they could make a decent living from their music. Many of them made the exodus to the likes of Chess Records and to play in the blues clubs on the west side. This is what Johnson meant by the lyrics "back to that California": back to the money.
