THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 19, 2013

Depending upon where you live, it's kind of cool this weekend as the world enjoys fall. So let's keep warm with a few games.

REBUS
Something very familiar is represented by the image below.
Do you know what it is?

H I J K L M N O

FAMOUS FIRSTS
When was the very first concert featuring rock and roll music?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's delve into THE ANSWERS BOX, and discover the results from the October 12, 2013 Puzzle Corner.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate items have at least one word in common, allowing them to be combined to form a new item. Based upon the clue below, do you know what it is?

The story of a historic figure of the Revolutionary War in America, written by that person's famous great-grand-nephew over a century later.

This would be BETTY ZANE GREY.
Betty Zane (1765-1823) and Zane Grey the author (1872-1939)

NEXT?
It's been quite a while since we've played this. A sequence is started below. Do you know what the next item within it would be?

Under, Hand, Shake,      ?    

There are TWO possible answers.

Based upon the fact that you can make a compound word out of each sequence (Underhand, Handshake), the next item in the sequence would be either UP (Shakeup) or Down (Shakedown).

And if you want to be really sneaky, Down can be used with Under to bring the sequence full circle with Down Under, another term for Australia.
