Happy Thanksgiving Weekend from all of us here in Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness and the Teen Canteen.
A Thanksgiving staple is on tap for our episode today...
The Swell Music Quiz (aka ‘Music with Turkeys’).
This one, from November 24, 1995.
Mike Epstein is producing
We begin with a declaration from Norm and then it’s on to the game.
Ed Mullen in studio
Jack Harte in traffic drinking his ‘radiant roasted’ coffee
I’m on the phone, desperate and lonely on Thanksgiving Day.
My cousins, Taylor and Bianca, had the chicken pox.
I had never had them, so I stayed home.
Ed says hello to his wife, Patricia. Two years ago on this very program, Ed proposed.
On to the Quiz!
Catergories are:
Rock and Roll
Jazz/Big Band
Musical Comedy
And Christmas Music
Ed explains the rules…good thing because I still don’t understand them.
The prize is a poorly written, badly copied, though highly coveted, junky Certificate of Award.
We take 35 calls:
Fred from Medford
Sam in Newton
Bob in Waltham

And we close with Bob
Arthur Godfrey makes two appearances and waxes poetic that he smoked 72 packs of Chesterfield’s and that is why today, he’s dead.
We return after the news to give the answers to the unanswered questions along with learning that Norm owns the only house in Massachusetts where you need a front-end loader to get across the kitchen into the dining room.
Black Friday Traffic is discussed and I recommend a movie.
Ep 65 – The Swell Music Quiz dba ‘Music with Turkeys’ begins in a 1 a 2 a 1,2,3,4.
