    A slightly obscure one this - what links the Aussie Pop-Folk band The Seekers with Yale Law School?

    Was Marty Kristian of the The New Seekers – “I'd Like To Teach The World to Sing" awarded an honorary Doctor Of Music degree from Yale University?

    Sorry everyone - I wandered on to this thread the other day in error and answered a question - at the time I did not realise I then had to pose the net one - and then I forgot to come back :(

    No - wrong Seekers and wrong part of Yale University.

    The link I'm looking for is something I only stumbled upon 11 days ago whilst doing some research - the date may be of significance. ;)

    No - The Seekers, the ones who gave a 50th reunion concert in London last month...

    Fronted by my all-time favourite female singer. :)

    No. The date (4th July) is significant - as is an album of theirs from 1997....

    Had forgotten about this...

    The album in question is Future Roads & I stumbled across the 'link' when I was researching The Declaration of Independence...

    Doesn't look like it - may as well give the answer & set another question. The 'link' I had in mind was - Yale Law School's digital library of legal & historical documents is known as the Avalon Project. The Seekers song was Shores of Avalon. Cruel, I know...

    What was significant about the Liverpool v West Ham game played on 15th November 1969?

    o.k. Between 1888 and 1906 Britain transported 500 of these to New Zealand (and then this trade ended). Who or what am I talking about ?

    No, not sheep. A clue is that Australia is thinking about importing them now.
