50. This one (& no 31) are giving me the irrits.

It was in 1959. The Big Bopper & Richie Valens also killed. Something about one person missing the flight due to frostbite & RV taking his place - so I'm guessing it's in the north.

Why is one of the Dakota's ringing a bell? Nothing ever happens there? Cos North Dakota is likely to be colder than South - ND it is.

As for 31 - aarrrrghhhh!! The baseball bat scene. ahhh - de Niro??


And for good measure - 60. Sounds like Vincent Price

[Pseudo]

18 Which composer wrote the 1936 classical work Peter and the Wolf?
35 Which instrument represents the duck in Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf?

I'm gonna go out on a limb; I reckon 18 might be Prokofiev.
