Not Sacramento or Palo Alto. Sacramento despite being the capital of California is only the sixth largest with a population of around 500,000. Palo Alto has a population of around 65,000.

None of those, although LA is the largest city in California with nearly 4 million people.

This city shares its name with the capital of another country.

'Do You Know the way to San Jose?' was written by Burt Bacharach for which female vocalist?

(bonus point if you know whether she was singing about the Californian city or the capital of Costa Rica)

She did loads of Bacharach-David songs, seemed like a reasonable guess.

Dionne Warwick recorded the original version of 'Anyone Who Had A Heart', but whose cover version went to number one in the UK in 1964?

Correct! It was indeed the flame-haired Liverpudlian harridan, scourge of airline stewardesses everywhere.

Blackie was the name of a guitar belonging to which musician? Bonus points if you can name the make and model of guitar :-)
