Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 139 - The Debut Album

I’m back after having my body ravaged by norovirus. That was a bit dramatic, but it wasn’t a whole lotta fun, that’s for sure.

And what a way to return with what I believe could very well be one of, if not the first appearance of the SMQ (simply known as The Musical Quiz) – May 29^th, 1992.

Because of that I have titled it: The Debut Album

The opening track was a Kid Company promo, some lottery numbers and scores, then the Panel is introduced:

Ed Mullen

I’m producing, playing sfx and participating on the phone from MC

Jack Harte clearly relaxing by lighting up and enjoying some hot tea
