Quizzy '10'

Oh no  I'm going to be waking up in the night thinking about this again 

Ronnie James Dio ?

My Italian isn't great but I think Dio means God in Italian. 

  The Voice of Rock.

        Ronnie James Padavona changed his name to  Dio ( Italian for God ). This may have been because his grandmother said he had a gift from God or it may have been  he copied the name from Johnny Dio a member of the Mafia. Who Knows?

           He is credited with making popular the rock symbol the " Horns of the Devil" . This hand gesture widely used by rock fans does have many meanings in different cultures, so care would be required where it was displayed.

           For someone who was physically so small his voice was so powerful- he did not have any formal voice training but he did put this down to correct breathing he learnt when learning the  trumpet.

           Favourite tracks?

           Heaven and Hell

           And all the Fools sailed Away

           Last in Line

           Holy Diver

           oh Stargazer  and many many more.

                   ( sorry gone on a bit- tis the wine and don't slurp that very often ) 

I looked at him yesterday, but it wasn't until you mentioned a dictionary for another language that the penny dropped with Dio.

So I guess it's my turn now, I'll be back tomorrow  

Very good quizzy Vince. 

Here we go then 

I was the subject of a very iconic but very controversial photograph of the 20th century. 

Well there are hundreds of those but lets start with

Christine Keeler 

and then maybe go on to others . . . .
