Show Notes

Hello and welcome back for another episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. Today brings us aa show I’ve titled: “Time for a Name Change.”

Why? Because this was before Ed Mullen filed formal papers with legal to change the name to The Swell Music Quiz. For this one it was called:

The Dumb Music Trivia Quiz Game.

Ric Duarte was producing.

There were only TWO categories on this early incarnation of the SMQ:

Rock n Roll and Big Bands

But later, Darrell Gould joins in with Doo Wop!

So the The Panel consisted of:

Norm, Ed, Darrell, Jack Harte and much later, I grace the broadcast booth with my presence because I was working some bizarro shift WBZ created when they shifted hours around. There was a 3 hour shift M-F that ran 2-5am. Yeah, try to get up for that one if you fell asleep at home.

Did that sound like I was speaking from experience? Maybe.

Of course we begin with Ed explaining the rules and then it’s on the callers:

Fred from Medford

Sean in Cambridge

May in Boston!

Bill from Chelsea

Brian from Newton

Arlene in Braintree

Kevin from Providence, RI

Oakley from Falmouth

Joe in Malden

Derek in his car…nope, it’s Rick

Jim from Somerville

John from Hornell, NY

Ken in Randolph

Joe in Waltham

The prophetic Harry from Milford

Steve in Brockton

Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello and welcome back for another episode of Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness. Today brings us a show that I've titled Time for a name change. Why? Because this was before Ed Mullen filed formal papers with legal to change the name to the swell music quiz. For this one, it was called the dumb music trivia quiz game Rick Duart was producing. There were only two categories on this early incarnation of the game, rock and roll in big bands. However, later we're joined by Daryl Gould, who brings in doap. So the panel consisted of Norm, Ed, Daryl, Jack Hart, and much later I graced the broadcast booth with my presence because I was working some bizarro shift WBZ had created when they changed hours around. There was a three hour shift Monday through Friday that ran from two to 05:00 a.m.. Yep, try to get up for that one if you fell asleep at home. Did that sound like I was speaking from experience? Maybe. Of course, we begin with Ed explaining the rules, and then it's on to the callers. Fred from Medford, Sean in Cambridge, May in Boston, Bill from Chelsea, Brian from Newton, Arlene in Braintree, Kevin from Providence, Oakley from Falmouth, Joe and Malden. Derek in his car. Oh, no, it's Rick. Jim from Somerville, John from Hornell, New York, Ken and Randolph. Joe and Waltham, the prophetic Harry from Milford, Stephen Brockton, Jody from New York, Bethan, Michigan, Randy from Norton, Jerry and Quincy, Jonathan from Salem, Sean and Chelsea, Joe from Chelsea, Phil and Newton, Joe from Brookline, Jerry and Clinton, Kathy from Quincy, John and Nadick, Mike and Swamp, Scott. David from Chelmsford, Andrew and Boston, Kevin and Malden, Jerry from Clinton. Wait again. Warren on the mass Pike, Bob in Fitchburg and Rob from Needham. We get a few cutoff abbreviated commercials and a newscast, too. All righty. Episode 172 Time for a name change hums its way to your ears. [00:02:04] Speaker B: Now discovered classic ovaltine. Ovaltine tastes good and it's good for you. Ovaltine. Okay, we're ready to play the dumb music trivia quiz game. And we have two categories. One is rock and roll, which includes a whole lot of leeway there. That is rock from the current time and the big bands. If you want to throw in a little jazz, that's okay, too. Just when you call, ask us, tell us what category you would like. And then we have to stick to that for three questions. Ed Mullen will be playing the game with us, and, of course, Jack Hart. Are you there, Jack? Yes. Okay, here's Ed to explain the rules. [00:02:51] Speaker C: Thanks a lot. Norm, the rules will be like this. We'll ask a question, and if the people get the question right, then the callers can ask us a question. And however, if we get the question wrong, then they continue to the bonus round, where we ask them a final question. And if they get that right, they get a swell certificate of merit that they can show to all their friends. [00:03:17] Speaker B: I would suggest they not show it to their friends. Some people have done that. They've just giggled them right out of the room because it's a silly looking thing. [00:03:25] Speaker C: Could be. [00:03:25] Speaker B: Okay, so you got that. But the idea is to pick the category that you want when you call, and we'll ask you the first question. And then if you answer that, we go on as Ed said. Okay. Before you call, be sure you have a question for us. Sometimes people call and we ask them a question, they answer it correctly, and then we say, now it's your turn to ask us question. And they don't have one, and that's really terrible. [00:03:51] Speaker C: They should have one ready. And hopefully it's a trivia question. Something that's either well known or interesting. Or just know that old phrase, if you can say, oh, yeah, let's see, how many ways can we say it? Jack? [00:04:27] Speaker B: Fred. [00:04:28] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:04:29] Speaker B: Oh, that's really nice, the way you did that. I'm getting excited. [00:04:32] Speaker C: Fred's ready. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Fred is ready. Okay. What's the. [00:04:35] Speaker D: Fred? Rock. [00:04:36] Speaker B: Rock. Okay. [00:04:38] Speaker C: Rock and roll. The question is, we have one leftover from last week. What is the fictitious ailment that Johnny Rivers sung about in 1972? [00:04:51] Speaker D: Poison ivy. [00:04:54] Speaker C: No, that was the coasters. No, this is a different one. Sorry about that. [00:05:00] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Fred. Thank you very much for trying. He did such a nice. Oh, yeah, too. [00:05:04] Speaker C: I know. [00:05:04] Speaker B: That's too bad. Feel bad about Sean and Cambridge. Hi, Sean. [00:05:07] Speaker D: Hi. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Hi. Which category? [00:05:10] Speaker D: Rock in the 90s. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Well, no, it's really. Rock and roll is kind of a general thing. However, Ed sometimes is. [00:05:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:18] Speaker B: When you say roll, a great heart, then he may pick the decade you're talking about. [00:05:22] Speaker C: When you say rock and roll, it's just got to be anything from 1955 rep to the present day. But you have to be well rounded to be on the show, too. Did we mention that? [00:05:32] Speaker B: We didn't say anything about that? [00:05:34] Speaker C: No, I guess not. Okay. [00:05:35] Speaker D: I have amnesia. [00:05:37] Speaker B: You can't remember anything beyond 1998. Okay, Alex, here's a question for you. [00:05:42] Speaker C: Here you go. Who sung the 1989 rap hit bust a move. [00:05:51] Speaker D: Young mc? [00:05:52] Speaker C: That's right. [00:05:53] Speaker B: Very good. Now, what's your question for us? [00:05:56] Speaker D: Okay. My question would be. Okay, who sung the. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Okay, no, let me last. You're Stalin. Aren't nobody else would know that. It's just I have a trained ear. Anyway, I'm sorry. Go right ahead. [00:06:19] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:20] Speaker D: What was the last album that Diana Ross made? [00:06:32] Speaker B: It was called the Diana Ross's finale. All right. We'll make no more records. Signed yours truly, Diana Ross. I'm sorry, I'm thinking of Michael Jackson. They both look so much alike. I get them confused. [00:06:49] Speaker C: I have a guess. The last album that you recorded, was it eaten alive? [00:06:56] Speaker D: Eaton? Alive? I don't even know, to tell you the truth. [00:07:00] Speaker B: You don't know the answer? [00:07:01] Speaker D: Well, there you go. [00:07:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that makes it kind of difficult. [00:07:06] Speaker C: We'll send you an extra special certificate for that. [00:07:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Let's move along with May in Boston. Hi, May. [00:07:14] Speaker E: Hi. How are you, uncle? [00:07:15] Speaker B: I'm pretty good. How are you doing? [00:07:17] Speaker E: Okay. I don't know. I'm going to be good at this. Or not. How about big bands? Or do I have to have big bands or jazz or what? [00:07:25] Speaker B: You want big bands? [00:07:27] Speaker E: Let's try that. [00:07:28] Speaker D: I'm not too swift on. [00:07:30] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, here's this guy. I'm going to describe somebody. You tell me who he is. He played tennis, saxophone with the Glenn Miller Band and was one of its most popular vocalists. [00:07:39] Speaker D: Fenneke? [00:07:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Thanks. [00:07:42] Speaker E: I love you, dear. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Want to have an affair? Never mind. [00:07:48] Speaker D: Long distance is a good one. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:51] Speaker E: You never get tired of one. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Okay. What about a question for us? [00:07:55] Speaker E: Okay. All right. Does it have to be big bands? [00:07:58] Speaker B: Yes, that's the category we're dealing with. Okay, let me mention that to anybody who calls whatever category you pick. That's the one we stick with, right? Yes. [00:08:08] Speaker D: Okay. [00:08:11] Speaker E: Let me see. Something about Glenn Miller, too. [00:08:14] Speaker B: Well, it doesn't have to be. Glenn Miller can be any big. [00:08:16] Speaker E: Ok, all right, then. [00:08:19] Speaker D: Who did the trumpet solo in? [00:08:27] Speaker E: Sing, sing, sing. [00:08:28] Speaker D: Goodman. [00:08:29] Speaker B: Harry James. [00:08:31] Speaker D: How about Ziggy Elman? [00:08:33] Speaker B: Ziggy Elman also did. They were holding a bunch of trumpet solos. They both played with the band at the time. [00:08:38] Speaker D: Okay. All right. [00:08:40] Speaker E: That's it. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Okay. Thank you very much, mate. Okay. She said drummer or pianist? There's only one of those. But in the rest of the band there are a whole lot of musicians who played the same instrument. [00:08:51] Speaker C: It was about eleven minutes long. So everybody had a solo, didn't they? [00:08:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. It ran twelve minutes and 35 seconds, something like that. And when I used to play it on my old show, the sounds of the night, that's when I used to go to the bathroom, have lunch, talk dirty on the phone, something. Oh, I got a real hot babe on the phone. I think I'll play sing. Sing anyway. Bill and Chelsea, how you doing? [00:09:12] Speaker D: How you doing? [00:09:13] Speaker B: I'm doing okay. How about you? [00:09:15] Speaker D: I'm doing all right. Let's see if I can try to compete with you people here tonight. [00:09:20] Speaker B: Okay, what category? [00:09:21] Speaker D: Rock and roll, please. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Okay. [00:09:23] Speaker C: Okay. If you could name the big comeback album. I'll name three people, and if you can get two out of three, you're all set. Name the big comeback album. First one. Tina Turner. [00:09:33] Speaker D: Oh, my God. Tina Turner. Okay, give me other names. [00:09:40] Speaker C: All right, here's number two. Steve Winwood. [00:09:45] Speaker D: Steve Winwood's back in the limelight. [00:09:53] Speaker C: Let's see, if I was Alex Trebek. [00:09:56] Speaker D: Would you accept that or do you have to refer to someone else to. [00:10:00] Speaker C: I'm going to check with Alex Treveck. I'll give you that. It's called back in the high life. [00:10:05] Speaker D: I'm sorry. Okay. All right. [00:10:06] Speaker C: Okay, and the next one, you have to get this one. Now, the big comeback album by George Harrison. [00:10:14] Speaker B: So it'll either be this one or the first one, right? [00:10:18] Speaker C: Tina Turner. [00:10:21] Speaker D: Tina Turner. I'd guess and say, rock and roll. I know I'm wrong. Rock and roll. That's my. [00:10:30] Speaker C: Sorry. Sorry. That's not it. [00:10:32] Speaker D: Okay. [00:10:32] Speaker B: It's a good try, though, Bill, thank you very much for calling. [00:10:35] Speaker D: Thank you very much. [00:10:36] Speaker B: Take care. Bye bye. Okay. Two. 5410 30.

[00:10:57] Speaker E: Yes, I am, but I live with older parents. [00:11:01] Speaker B: I see. [00:11:02] Speaker C: What an unusual situation. [00:11:03] Speaker D: Okay. [00:11:04] Speaker B: My parents were younger than me. Yeah, I know that. [00:11:08] Speaker C: Okay, here's the question. Actually, it's another leftover from last week. The question is, in the Marty Robbins hit El Paso, can you name the girl? Who's the girl? [00:11:20] Speaker E: Don't know that. [00:11:24] Speaker B: Sorry. I'm sorry, Brian. Are your folks handy?

Hi, Arlene. [00:11:41] Speaker E: Hi, Ed. I'd like to answer the Johnny Rivers question. I got the rock and pneumonia, the boogie woogie blues. [00:11:48] Speaker C: That's right. The fictitious ailment that Johnny Rivers sung about 1972 was the rock and pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu. [00:11:55] Speaker B: You're right. [00:11:56] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:11:57] Speaker C: Great. Now could you ask us a question, please? [00:12:04] Speaker E: Who wrote the score for the film? Jonathan Levin. Seagull. [00:12:09] Speaker C: Neil diamond. [00:12:10] Speaker E: Oh, I didn't think I did. [00:12:13] Speaker D: I hope you wouldn't. That's very good. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Very good. Ed. Hey, thank you for calling. Bye bye. We're going to have to start giving away some of those swell certificates so people can show off and show them to their friends. Meantime, we have lots of open lines now. Good time to call. If you want to take part in this again, just mention the category you want to take part in and then have a question ready so that in the event that you answer our first question, you want to hit us with a question right after that. Okay? You only need to ask one question. We ask you two. [00:12:45] Speaker C: There you go. [00:12:45] Speaker B: Okay, two. 5410 30. Area code six one seven. And we'll take some more calls right after this. [00:12:50] Speaker E: Does your baby suffer from red, irritating diaper rash? Just regular diaper rash. It just looked red and irritated. Very tender to the touch. I just felt pity for him. Well, I just wanted to make it better because I don't like seeing my little baby suffer. Now your baby can get relief from diaper rash with baby gold bond medicated powder. Just listen to Anna Stout of Lake Villa, Illinois. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Babe says mostly cloudy overnight with a passing shower, drizzle and areas of dense fog. Lows about 36. It's relatively mild right now. As a matter of fact, it's 40 degrees at the moment outside our BC studios. And during the day on Saturday, a mixture of clouds and sun and breezy with high temperatures getting up to the mid 40s. Saturday night, clouds increasing. Lows overnight in the low 30s. Sunday, cloudy and breezy with showers. Highs 49, as it gets even warmer. Monday, sunny, blustery, and colder, 30 to 35 degrees. And then Tuesday, partly sunny with high temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees. Again, 40 degrees outside our BZ studios as we go to Kevin down in Providence. Hi, Kevin. What category would you like? [00:14:06] Speaker D: Rock and roll. New one. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Okay. [00:14:08] Speaker C: Hi, Kevin. How are you doing? [00:14:09] Speaker D: Not bad. [00:14:10] Speaker C: All right. Would you like a question that's already on the board or a new one? [00:14:17] Speaker D: Well, the guy didn't get the comeback albums, did he? [00:14:21] Speaker C: That's right. Do you want to do the comeback album question? [00:14:24] Speaker D: Sure. I can ace that easily. Private dancer for Tina Turner. [00:14:27] Speaker C: That's right. [00:14:28] Speaker D: And cloud nine for George Harrison. [00:14:30] Speaker C: That's right. Great. Can you ask us a question, please? [00:14:33] Speaker D: Sure. Which two bands were involved in making the soundtrack of the film. Here we go round the Mulberry Bush. [00:14:42] Speaker B: Wow. [00:14:43] Speaker C: Here we go round the Mulberry bush. [00:14:45] Speaker E: Yes. [00:14:46] Speaker B: That was a movie. Two bands were involved in that. [00:14:50] Speaker D: Yeah. It starred Barry Evans, if you ever saw Doctor in the house. Barry Evans, who played Michael Upton in Doctor in the house? [00:14:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:15:00] Speaker D: I guess it was made in England. Which is a clue. [00:15:08] Speaker C: Well, Jack? [00:15:09] Speaker B: Well, just as maybe. [00:15:12] Speaker D: And they're kind of affiliated bands in. [00:15:14] Speaker B: A sense, which will give you a clue. Give you about 5 seconds more, you guys. How about the who and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas? [00:15:28] Speaker D: Wrong. [00:15:30] Speaker B: Okay, what are the answers? [00:15:32] Speaker D: Traffic and the Spencer Davis group. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Okay, we ask you one final question. If you get this one correct, Kevin, you get one of our really swell certificates of award. Won't that be nice? [00:15:44] Speaker D: I'll treasure it forever more. [00:15:47] Speaker B: Okay, fire away. [00:15:49] Speaker C: Okay, here we go. Can you name two people who have recorded the song if not for you? [00:15:58] Speaker D: If not for you? Well, Bob Dylan. [00:16:01] Speaker C: Right. [00:16:02] Speaker D: And I'll say. [00:16:08] Speaker C: How do you spell that? [00:16:10] Speaker D: I'll say. Joan Baez. [00:16:17] Speaker C: I'm sorry. That's not right. [00:16:19] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Duke. [00:16:20] Speaker D: Kevin, do I get another chance? [00:16:23] Speaker B: No, you're right on the edge to you. Just so darn close. And we'll be playing the game again in a couple of weeks or so. You can call back and maybe next time you'll hit it right along the way. [00:16:35] Speaker D: Maybe I'll try big man next time because I got a killer for you. [00:16:42] Speaker B: Want to ask me. Anyway. It doesn't count for anything, but I'm curious. [00:16:45] Speaker D: Okay. You know who the four brothers were, right? [00:16:48] Speaker B: Yes. [00:16:48] Speaker D: Now, who were known as the trained seals for their choreographed routines while they were playing. [00:17:02] Speaker B: These are instrumentalists or vocalists. [00:17:04] Speaker D: These are instrumentalists. [00:17:06] Speaker B: And they played with a big band? [00:17:08] Speaker D: Yes. And I'm not talking about, like, which. I'm not asking you to name them individually, but from what orchestra? [00:17:16] Speaker B: I haven't the foggiest notion. That's a good question. Never heard of that. Who would that be? [00:17:23] Speaker D: Jimmy Winsford's orchestra. [00:17:25] Speaker B: And he had four instrumentalists called the trained Seals. [00:17:28] Speaker D: Well, they weren't necessarily four, but I mean, his Reed section, like his sax players, would stand up while they were playing in unison. [00:17:42] Speaker B: Yeah, that sounds like one of those Mickey Mouse bands. Because Jimmy Lunsworth had a fantastic band. And usually the choreography was done by bands that were not so terribly good. Where the saxophone section would stand up and they'd go from side to side. We used to call them Mickey Mouse bands because they'd try to divert your attention to the fact that they were not playing very well. By doing little crazy things on the stand. [00:18:07] Speaker D: Well, I got this right off the back of a well. [00:18:11] Speaker B: Now, I'm sure you're right. Hey, thanks for the information. Appreciate it. Take care. Bye bye. Kevin, let's see what's doing. We'll check headlines and all of that and traffic with Jack. And then be right back over to BZ News radio 1031. Moment, please. The trouble is in your set, and it was caused by me. Anyway, it's 1233 right now. 1233. Here at WBZ. We're playing the dumb music trivia quiz. And Jack Hart and Ed Mullen are members of our panel. And you're tuned to WBZ two. 5410 30 is that number. Let's take some more folks on the line. This is Oakley down in Falmouth. Hi, Oakley. [00:19:00] Speaker D: How are you? [00:19:00] Speaker B: Okay, thanks. [00:19:01] Speaker D: Yeah, I just got off the air myself. [00:19:03] Speaker B: You do a show down there in the cape? [00:19:05] Speaker D: Well, at my school at Tabor Academy. [00:19:09] Speaker B: You have a radio station there? [00:19:10] Speaker D: Yeah, very small. Wattage FM. [00:19:13] Speaker B: You're actually on the air. What do you have, about ten watts? [00:19:16] Speaker D: Probably about twelve right now. But we have an antenna coming that will give us about 100. I'd say 110. [00:19:22] Speaker B: How far out do you get? [00:19:25] Speaker D: Well, on a clear night, you can reach Falmouth from Marion, which is about 30 miles or so. [00:19:30] Speaker B: What does Marion think of that? You get some pretty good response. [00:19:36] Speaker D: Yeah, pretty good. It's mostly around the school and everything. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Okay. What are your call letters? [00:19:42] Speaker D: WWTA. [00:19:43] Speaker B: WWTA. Okay. What category would you like, Oakley? [00:19:49] Speaker D: I'd like rock and roll, please. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Okay. [00:19:54] Speaker C: All right. Thank you. I have the question for you. Can you name two Jimi Hendrix songs. That Stevie Ray Vaughn had recorded on the studio albums? [00:20:04] Speaker D: How about all on the Watchtower? [00:20:11] Speaker C: No, that's not right. No, I asked for two. Can you name? Give you another try. [00:20:19] Speaker D: Steve Ray Vaughn. Huh? If there was Bob Dylan, I could do it all on the Watchtower, but. Right. How about. [00:20:32] Speaker C: Thanks a lot? That was a good try. [00:20:34] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:20:34] Speaker C: Gloria, is that Van Marson song by the group them and Van Marson. But not quite. Not on that one. But thanks a lot. Call again. [00:20:45] Speaker D: Okay. We'll do. [00:20:46] Speaker B: Okay, Oakley. Let's go to Joe and Malden. Hi, Joe. [00:20:49] Speaker D: Hello. How you doing? [00:20:51] Speaker B: Oh, fine, thanks. How are you doing? [00:20:53] Speaker D: Oh, pretty good. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Rock and roll. [00:20:55] Speaker D: Yes, I can answer that last question. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Okay. Name two Jimi Hendrix songs. That Stevie Ray Vaughn had recorded on the studio albums. [00:21:03] Speaker D: One is little wing. [00:21:05] Speaker C: Little wing is correct. [00:21:08] Speaker D: And voodoo child. [00:21:09] Speaker C: Voodoo child is right. [00:21:10] Speaker D: Okay. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Ask us something now, if you would, Joe. [00:21:13] Speaker E: Oh, boy. [00:21:15] Speaker D: How about a real old one from the 50s? [00:21:19] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:21:19] Speaker D: What was the first tv theme song? That was number one on Billboard. [00:21:25] Speaker C: First tv theme song. [00:21:30] Speaker D: The only thing I'm not sure of is the year. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Okay, but you got the decade. Yes. Okay, Jack, what are you trying to think here? [00:21:43] Speaker C: Probably something like gun smoke. Probably some western something. [00:21:46] Speaker B: 77 Sunset Strip. [00:21:48] Speaker D: No, he was close about the 50s, though. I mean about the western. [00:21:56] Speaker C: All right, let's make a guess. Jack. Thunder Road, ballad of. [00:22:04] Speaker B: Oh, no. I know. Wait a second. I think we've already lost it. Go ahead, name it. Rawhide. [00:22:14] Speaker E: No, no. [00:22:14] Speaker B: Okay, what is the answer? [00:22:15] Speaker D: That was the ballad of Davy Crockett Fest. Parker. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Of course. That was a very big one. Yeah. Okay, one more question for you then, Joe. [00:22:24] Speaker C: Okay, here it comes. What city is Leroy Brown from? Bad. Bad Leroy Brown. [00:22:30] Speaker D: Bad Leroy Brown. Oh, shit. I'm in a band and I play this song, too. Oh, boy. Chicago. [00:22:38] Speaker B: Right. [00:22:40] Speaker C: We have a winner now. [00:22:41] Speaker B: We finally have a winner. Okay, Joe, here's Rick doart. He'll take your name and address and we'll get a certificate of award out to you that you'll be just sit down proud of. [00:22:51] Speaker D: Oh, great. [00:22:51] Speaker B: And as soon as anybody looks at it that you show it to, they'll giggle and laugh at you. So just keep it to yourself. Okay, Joe, thanks a lot. We'll go to. Let's see, Derek, who's in his car. Hi, Derek. [00:23:04] Speaker D: Hi. No, I'm not Derek. [00:23:06] Speaker B: You're not Derek? Who are you? [00:23:07] Speaker D: I'm rich. [00:23:08] Speaker B: Okay, Derek must have hung up and you jumped in right away. [00:23:12] Speaker D: Right? [00:23:12] Speaker B: So you're on the air. [00:23:13] Speaker D: Great. [00:23:14] Speaker B: What category would you like? [00:23:15] Speaker C: I'll take rock and roll. [00:23:16] Speaker D: And can I answer a question you had? [00:23:19] Speaker B: Sure. [00:23:19] Speaker D: The. I don't know if someone answered it, but the comeback albums. [00:23:24] Speaker C: Yeah, we did get the answers for the comeback album. [00:23:27] Speaker D: Okay, well, I'll take another one. [00:23:29] Speaker B: I. [00:23:30] Speaker C: Can. I have another batch of those questions for you. Name the big comeback album by two out of three of the artists that I'm going to name. Here's the three ones. Aretha Franklin. [00:23:42] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:23:43] Speaker C: All right, I'll give you two more tries. Bonnie, rate. [00:23:49] Speaker D: Wasn'T Nick of time. [00:23:51] Speaker C: That's right. [00:23:51] Speaker D: Oh, it was? [00:23:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:52] Speaker D: Okay. [00:23:54] Speaker C: And the last one is the group Boston. [00:23:59] Speaker D: Was it? Third stage. [00:24:01] Speaker C: That's right. [00:24:02] Speaker D: Good. That's right. [00:24:02] Speaker B: Hey, we have another winner. No, wait a minute. Wait a we. That was the first question, right? [00:24:09] Speaker C: He gets to ask us. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Oh, you ask us something. Now, if you would, Derek. Rick. [00:24:13] Speaker D: Right. Okay. On Springsteen's born in the USA album, right. He thanks a Hollywood director named Paul Schrader on the album. Do you know why? [00:24:27] Speaker C: Paul Schrader. [00:24:29] Speaker D: Paul Schrader. Paul Schrader also wrote taxi driver, the movie. [00:24:35] Speaker C: He thanks him for a special thanks. [00:24:37] Speaker D: It's a single line, thanks to Paul Schrader. And it's sort of interesting. [00:24:42] Speaker C: Why did he introduce him to his wife, his first wife? [00:24:45] Speaker D: No. [00:24:46] Speaker B: He had just passed on the mustard. I guess we don't know the answer. What is the answer to that? [00:24:52] Speaker D: Okay, it's kind of a lengthy answer, but the point is, Paul Schrader was writing a movie, and Springsteen stole the title born in the USA. So in return, Springsteen said he would write the song for the title of this movie, which. Do you know what it became? [00:25:06] Speaker C: Light of day. [00:25:07] Speaker D: Light of day. [00:25:09] Speaker C: That's a great question. That's a great question. [00:25:11] Speaker B: Okay, we'll ask you one now. One final question. If you get this one, you get the wondrous certificate. [00:25:17] Speaker D: Great. [00:25:18] Speaker B: Okay, I have a question. [00:25:20] Speaker C: Jack, go ahead. [00:25:21] Speaker B: We mentioned earlier the song rockin'pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu. That melody, the rockin'pneumonia occurs in another definitive, well known rock and roll song. And what song would that be? [00:25:38] Speaker D: Rock. [00:25:46] Speaker B: Well known. [00:25:48] Speaker D: Yeah. Sounds familiar. Doctor. I don't know. Something. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. [00:25:55] Speaker B: No. [00:25:56] Speaker F: Dr. Chuck Berry. [00:25:57] Speaker B: There's a clue? Yes. You're not supposed to be giving clues. [00:26:01] Speaker D: Chuck Berry, huh? Johnny be. [00:26:06] Speaker B: No, I'm sorry, Rick. Thank you very much for the call. Take care. Bye bye, now. Okay. Hey, joining us now is the man who was. You were trying to give away the answer to that, big fella. That's not right. You're supposed to be on our side. [00:26:19] Speaker F: I thought the guy should win a certificate. All right. No, see, I'm not doing the news now, so I can be opinionated. [00:26:26] Speaker B: I see. Well, you can be opinionated, but wait till I ask questions, then you can answer them. That's the way we do this thing, Darryl. [00:26:33] Speaker F: I know how you do it. I'm a veteran of this game. [00:26:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:26:38] Speaker F: I don't play it very well, but I'm a veteran. [00:26:40] Speaker B: Jim in Somerville. How you doing, Jim? [00:26:42] Speaker D: Good morning. [00:26:43] Speaker B: Good morning to you, sir. [00:26:45] Speaker D: Okay, I have a quick me. I believe I know the answer to the gentleman that was just on one of the questions. But if I get it wrong, does that automatically disqualify me? [00:26:59] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. [00:27:02] Speaker D: No, never mind. I'll go fresh. Go ahead. [00:27:05] Speaker C: Okay. Rock and roll question. [00:27:07] Speaker D: That's correct. Rock and roll. [00:27:08] Speaker C: Okay. So far that we haven't asked. Born to be wild was by stepping wolf, and it was featured in the movie Easy Rider, who sung the comedy record called Uneasy Rider. It was a top ten hit in 1973. [00:27:30] Speaker D: I believe he's saying, Edith. I can't place his name, though he did the Michael Jackson remix from beat it. [00:27:42] Speaker C: I believe he did just. You're thinking of weird Al Yankovic. [00:27:47] Speaker D: Yes, but that's way before his time. [00:27:48] Speaker C: Yeah, that's wrong. [00:27:49] Speaker D: Okay. [00:27:49] Speaker B: All right, thank you very much, Jim. [00:27:52] Speaker D: Thank you very much. [00:27:53] Speaker B: Bye bye. Okay, two. 5410 30. We have just one open line. Well, you know, when anybody hangs up, there's an open line. So just keep calling even if you get a busy signal. John in was that Hornell, New York? John, are you there? [00:28:12] Speaker D: Yes, sir. [00:28:13] Speaker B: Now, what's the name of the place? [00:28:14] Speaker D: You're Hornell. [00:28:17] Speaker B: Oh, Hornell, New York. [00:28:18] Speaker D: Yes. [00:28:19] Speaker B: I see. Okay. What category would you like, John? [00:28:22] Speaker D: More modern rock and roll. [00:28:25] Speaker C: All right, here's a rock and roll question for you. Like I said, we can't really be too specific about what era it's from. It's just rock and roll. So I'll just throw it out to you. The first one is in the Elton John song candle in the wind. That is a tribute to who? [00:28:44] Speaker D: Oh. [00:28:59] Speaker B: Okay. We'll go to Ken, who's in the town of Randolph. Hi, Ken. [00:29:03] Speaker D: Hi. How are you doing? Good. [00:29:04] Speaker B: How about you? [00:29:05] Speaker D: Oh, I'm hanging in there. [00:29:06] Speaker B: Keep doing that. And you'd like a rock and roll, I bet you. [00:29:09] Speaker D: Oh, how'd you guess? [00:29:10] Speaker B: Okay, do you want to answer questions that's been asked already, or do you. [00:29:12] Speaker D: Have the uneasy rider question? [00:29:14] Speaker C: Okay. The question was, who sung uneasy rider? Top ten hit, 1973. [00:29:20] Speaker D: That was Charlie Daniels. [00:29:22] Speaker C: That's right. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Okay, now ask us something, if you would, please. [00:29:26] Speaker D: Okay. Popular singer from the 50s went to high school on the west coast. Same high school as our famous Celtic Bill Russell. And he shares the high school high jump record with him. Who is it? [00:29:44] Speaker B: This is a singer. [00:29:45] Speaker D: Yes. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:46] Speaker C: Singer. See, San Francisco was the college, wasn't it, Darryl? Bill Russell went. Okay. [00:29:54] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:29:55] Speaker C: Okay. That's staling for time. [00:29:58] Speaker F: San Francisco High. No, he went to the University of, I think probably was San Francisco high if he didn't want to travel to. [00:30:08] Speaker C: Oh, I know, I know. This, uh, Johnny Mathis. [00:30:12] Speaker D: Absolutely. Right. [00:30:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:14] Speaker C: There you go. [00:30:15] Speaker B: Okay. Never thought of Johnny Mathis as being a rock singer, but that's okay. I don't know what other category put him in. Pop, I guess. Okay, one final question for you, Ken. [00:30:24] Speaker C: We got him. We got his question, so. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. So that eliminates that. I'm sorry, Ken. I'm sorry. That was a good question. [00:30:34] Speaker C: Call again. [00:30:34] Speaker D: Sure. [00:30:35] Speaker C: Thanks. [00:30:36] Speaker B: I didn't know that Johnny Mathis did the high jump. Really? Son of a gun. Hey, Joe and Waltham. How you doing? [00:30:43] Speaker D: Good morning. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Good morning. [00:30:45] Speaker D: I was going to try for the uneasy rider question, but you already got that, so I guess I'll take rock and roll. [00:30:50] Speaker C: Okay, we have a couple of questions up on the board, including the Elton John song, candle in the wind. Who is that a tribute to? Do you know that answer? [00:31:05] Speaker D: It's Marilyn Monroe. [00:31:06] Speaker C: That's right. [00:31:07] Speaker D: Okay. [00:31:08] Speaker C: Now, can you ask us a question, please? [00:31:10] Speaker D: All right, you'll probably nail this pretty easy, but let's find out. All I could think of as a short notice in the movie. Sergeant Pepper's lonely Hearts club band, right? Who sang fixin'a hole and who played the. [00:31:27] Speaker C: Oh, fixin'a. [00:31:30] Speaker D: Which. Which character sang the song fixing a hole and who played them? [00:31:36] Speaker B: I know who played them. [00:31:37] Speaker C: Who? [00:31:38] Speaker B: George Burns. [00:31:40] Speaker D: That's right. George Burns played the character. [00:31:43] Speaker B: But I don't know who the character was. What are you asking? [00:31:46] Speaker C: What's the question? [00:31:47] Speaker B: The name of the character in the movie. Yeah, the fictional name of the character and the character that Burns played. [00:31:54] Speaker D: Right. [00:31:54] Speaker B: The name of him. Okay. I guess we don't know the answer to that, Joe. [00:31:59] Speaker D: That would be Mr. Kite. [00:32:01] Speaker B: Mr. Kite. Oh, yeah. [00:32:03] Speaker C: For the benefit of Mr. Kite. [00:32:05] Speaker D: Yes. [00:32:05] Speaker B: Okay, we ask you one final question, Joe. See how you do on. [00:32:08] Speaker D: Okay. [00:32:09] Speaker C: Okay. I'm going to name three songs and you tell me who sings. And if you get two out of three, you're all set. [00:32:19] Speaker D: Okay. [00:32:21] Speaker C: Each song has to do with eyes. First one. My eyes adored you. [00:32:33] Speaker D: I'm going to pass on that one. [00:32:35] Speaker C: All right. Next one. Sexy eyes. [00:32:39] Speaker D: Rod Stewart. [00:32:41] Speaker C: No. Sorry about that. [00:32:46] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. [00:32:47] Speaker C: Thank you very much. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Bye bye, now. Okay. How about Harry in Milford? Hey, Harry. This is my friend Harry. [00:32:53] Speaker D: Hey, how you doing? [00:32:54] Speaker B: You probably want a big band question. [00:32:56] Speaker D: I'll bet you got it. [00:32:57] Speaker B: Okay. The featured instrument of these band leaders. They all played the same instrument. [00:33:03] Speaker D: Okay. [00:33:04] Speaker B: Ray McKinley, Louis Belson and Chick Webb. [00:33:06] Speaker D: They're all drummers. [00:33:07] Speaker B: Yeah. I had a feeling you'd know that. [00:33:09] Speaker D: Well, the reason why I called, because I got one for you. [00:33:12] Speaker B: Okay. [00:33:13] Speaker D: You ready? [00:33:13] Speaker B: Yep. [00:33:14] Speaker D: Okay. Who was the female vocalist with the Anson Weeks orchestra? [00:33:20] Speaker B: Oh, jeez, you know it? No, I don't know Anson Weeks. No, there wasn't Anson weeks. But nobody paid any attention to Anson Weeks. And the band? I have no idea. [00:33:31] Speaker D: They paid attention to her. [00:33:33] Speaker B: Did she become very well known afterwards? [00:33:35] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:38] Speaker B: Anna Marie Albrechti. I know. [00:33:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:41] Speaker B: No, come on. [00:33:42] Speaker D: No, it wasn't. [00:33:42] Speaker B: No, I don't know. Who was it? [00:33:44] Speaker D: Dale Evans. [00:33:45] Speaker B: Dale Evans? You mean of Roy Rogers fame? [00:33:49] Speaker D: That's right. [00:33:50] Speaker B: She sang with a pop band. A big band. [00:33:53] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:54] Speaker B: That's a lovely question. I had no idea about that. [00:33:56] Speaker F: Well, I figured I'd lay it on know. I knew Dale Evans sang with a band. I had no idea. There was months. [00:34:06] Speaker B: It sounds like an old relative coming to stay at your house. [00:34:08] Speaker F: She went on to marry Leonard Sly, who. Which used to be another favorite trivia question. [00:34:14] Speaker B: Now, wait a minute. [00:34:14] Speaker D: What was her real name? [00:34:15] Speaker B: No, we're talking about Dale Evans. [00:34:17] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:34:17] Speaker F: She went on to marry Leonard Sly. [00:34:20] Speaker B: Are we talking about who is better. [00:34:22] Speaker F: Known as Roy Rogers? [00:34:23] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. [00:34:25] Speaker F: But that was in earlier days of trivia. [00:34:28] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Okay, the famous band leader. Here's your final question. If you get this one, harry, you get a swell certificate. [00:34:37] Speaker D: Okay. I really shouldn't accept it because I'm a pro. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Wait a minute. Don't say that. You haven't answered the question yet. [00:34:44] Speaker D: Okay. [00:34:45] Speaker B: The Isham Jones Band. I know you remember that. That's about as well known. Maybe better known than Anson weeks. Okay. Who took that band over and kept it going for a lot of years under his own name. Didn't call it Iceman Jones, but it was his own band after that anyway. But he started with the ice from Jones band. [00:35:06] Speaker D: It was Woody Herman. Yes, Woody Herman. [00:35:09] Speaker B: Yeah. You hesitant there? Pros don't hesitate, Harry. [00:35:13] Speaker D: Well, it was either Woody or I thought it may have been Count Basie. Because. No, Count Basie came from the orchestra. [00:35:20] Speaker B: That's right. [00:35:20] Speaker D: You're right. [00:35:21] Speaker B: And the Glenn Gray came from another orchestra, too. Do you remember that? Because I don't. I can't remember what band. A few people took over other bands and made them popular. But anyway, you got the one question that I was asking, so you're okay. [00:35:36] Speaker D: Can I just make a point? Because you said something earlier that I really want to correct you on. [00:35:40] Speaker B: Oh, jeez, I wish you wouldn't, but go ahead. [00:35:43] Speaker D: I was in my car, and I couldn't call from my car. Because I don't have a phone there. So I had to wait till I got home. You were talking about the choreography of the bands. And the more choreographed they were. The lesser known they were. [00:35:55] Speaker B: No, I didn't say they were lesser known. I said they were the Mickey Mouse bands. [00:35:59] Speaker D: Mickey Mouse bands. I was trying to be kind by saying lesser known. The Glenn Miller band was one of the most choreographed. [00:36:07] Speaker B: I don't recall that. Yeah, I've seen the Glenn Miller Band. I don't remember. You mean the saxophone stand up and they sway and they do. [00:36:15] Speaker D: All of that had their way of moving during an arrangement. Especially those gray arrangements. [00:36:22] Speaker B: That and the funny hats. And the funny hats in the whole thing. [00:36:24] Speaker D: That's right. [00:36:26] Speaker B: They wore funny hats of the Glenn Miller band. [00:36:28] Speaker D: Well, the trombone sections, because they used them as mutes of sorts. [00:36:32] Speaker B: They took the mutes and put them on their heads. [00:36:34] Speaker D: They did. [00:36:37] Speaker B: I don't remember that happening, but I take your word for it, because you're a professional. [00:36:44] Speaker F: He just brought up a great use for Hillary Clinton's hat. [00:36:48] Speaker D: Oh, that was a great hat. [00:36:49] Speaker F: I thought that was. That would be a great mute. [00:36:53] Speaker D: She would be a great mute. [00:36:55] Speaker F: Think, oh, well, no getting into politics. I just think the hat. Wouldn't that be a great. [00:37:00] Speaker B: Were you just insulting Hillary? [00:37:02] Speaker D: I was making political satire. [00:37:04] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. Because I think she's a fantastic woman. I think she's great. I think we're lucky to have her first lady. And I think anybody who criticizes her is sexist. They can't stand a bright, beautiful woman having any say in anything. [00:37:20] Speaker D: No, I think she is bright and beautiful. She just scares the hell out of me. [00:37:23] Speaker B: Why? [00:37:24] Speaker F: I just think she wears nice wawa mutes. [00:37:26] Speaker B: Yeah. I won't even ask you why, Harry, I'm going to turn you over to Rick doart. Maybe he can tolerate that kind of a silly answer. And we'll get the certificate out to you. She scares the hell out of him. I can't understand that. We'll take a break for a couple of words here, and then we'll take some more questions afterwards. Some more calls. Two. 5410 30 Steve in Brockton. Hi, Steve. [00:37:50] Speaker D: Hi. How are you doing? [00:37:51] Speaker B: Good, thanks. [00:37:52] Speaker D: How's everything? [00:37:53] Speaker B: Everything's okay. And how's your family? Nice.

[00:38:05] Speaker D: I wanted to pick rock and roll, but there was a question that was given before that wasn't answered. About sexy eyes or something. Sure. Can you rephrase that one? And if I don't understand that one, can I get another one? Or is that my only one? [00:38:18] Speaker C: Okay, the question is, name the singer or the group that is singing these three songs, if you can name two out of three. You're all set. [00:38:26] Speaker B: Okay. Now, this will be the question, though. If you miss this, then we can't give you another question. You want to go with this? [00:38:34] Speaker D: No. [00:38:35] Speaker B: You want a new question? [00:38:37] Speaker D: Sure. [00:38:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:38:38] Speaker C: All right. Harry Balafonte had a hit album that was number one for eight months. Eight months. And it had the singles Dayo and Jamaica farewell. Can you name the title of that album? [00:38:58] Speaker D: What was the other question? [00:39:00] Speaker B: No, that's the question. You're slivering and sliding there, Steve. But you're okay. [00:39:07] Speaker D: Dale. I don't know. Dale. [00:39:10] Speaker C: That wasn't the title. No, sorry. [00:39:13] Speaker D: All right, thanks. [00:39:14] Speaker C: Call again. [00:39:14] Speaker B: Hey, Steve. And the chickens are okay, too. [00:39:16] Speaker D: How's the hens? [00:39:18] Speaker B: That's what I meant. The hens. Chickens, yeah. No, the hens are just fine, thank you. [00:39:23] Speaker D: Okay. [00:39:25] Speaker B: We'll know. It's really spring when the hens start laying again, which will be in about a month. Isn't that exciting? Jody in New York. Hi, Jody. [00:39:33] Speaker D: Hi. [00:39:33] Speaker B: How you doing? [00:39:34] Speaker D: Good. [00:39:34] Speaker E: How are you? [00:39:35] Speaker B: Fine, thank you. What category would you like? [00:39:37] Speaker E: Rock and roll, please. [00:39:38] Speaker B: Rock and roll. Okay. [00:39:40] Speaker C: I'm going to name three groups and can you tell me their biggest album? If you name two out of three, you're all set. Okay, I'll name the three groups. First one is Jefferson Airplane. [00:39:52] Speaker E: Jefferson Airplane. No. [00:39:56] Speaker C: Okay. Reo speed wagon. [00:40:00] Speaker E: The hits. [00:40:02] Speaker C: The hits. No, it's a title. The regular name. It's not the greatest hits album. [00:40:09] Speaker E: The regular title of one of their albums. [00:40:11] Speaker C: That's right. [00:40:16] Speaker E: I guess. [00:40:17] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:40:18] Speaker C: No, I'm sorry. That's not right. [00:40:21] Speaker B: Okay, thank you, Jody. We'll go to Beth in Michigan. Hey, Beth. [00:40:25] Speaker E: Hello. [00:40:26] Speaker B: Hello. [00:40:28] Speaker E: How are you? [00:40:29] Speaker B: I'm just fine, thank you. What category would you like, Beth? [00:40:31] Speaker E: Well, first of all, I thought everybody knew that Johnny Mathis was not a rock and roll. He was a ballad singer. [00:40:37] Speaker B: Yes. [00:40:38] Speaker E: And also I thought you should know about the mutes. With Glenn Miller. That was very common. But it was in every movie. [00:40:45] Speaker B: No, I know about the mutes. But what I was talking about was bands that go through all these little bits, things swaying and swinging and jumping. [00:40:55] Speaker E: Did that with the trombones. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Okay. [00:40:58] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:40:58] Speaker B: Okay. I guess I got my comeuppance for that one. [00:41:01] Speaker D: Certainly did. [00:41:02] Speaker E: Giggles heart there, isn't he? [00:41:04] Speaker B: Pardon me? [00:41:05] Speaker E: Giggle heart. [00:41:06] Speaker B: Yes, he's here. [00:41:07] Speaker E: Oh, I just love him. You don't have to ask me a question. [00:41:12] Speaker B: No, we have one of those. No, the opening is we ask you a question. [00:41:18] Speaker E: I know. [00:41:18] Speaker B: What category would you like, Beth? [00:41:20] Speaker E: Big bands. [00:41:21] Speaker B: You want big bands. [00:41:22] Speaker E: Yes, but I already have one of those gill edge papers. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Okay, well, you want to try for another one? [00:41:29] Speaker E: All right. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Okay. A couple of tv talk show hosts. Neither one does talk shows now, but they did. One sang with a K Kaiser band in the other sang with Freddie Martin, was a big hit on a record called I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. [00:41:45] Speaker E: Yeah, I know that. [00:41:46] Speaker B: Who are the two guys? [00:41:47] Speaker E: Well, I know that one was Merv Griffin. [00:41:49] Speaker B: That's correct. He did. I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. And who was the one who sang with a K Kaiser band before he started doing his talk show and was on network television with a K Kaiser band, sponsored by the Ford Motor Company? [00:42:03] Speaker E: I have probably Mike Douglas. [00:42:05] Speaker D: Or was it. [00:42:07] Speaker B: Yes, it was Mike Douglas. Very good. Okay, ask us a question. [00:42:12] Speaker E: All right, now I'm going way, way back and talk about lesser bands. This is it. [00:42:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:19] Speaker E: All right. Do you remember Charles? Buddy Rogers? Buddy Rogers, yeah. [00:42:24] Speaker B: Not the one who was married to Mary Pickford? [00:42:26] Speaker E: Yes. [00:42:27] Speaker B: The same fella. [00:42:28] Speaker E: Yep. [00:42:29] Speaker B: He had a band. [00:42:30] Speaker E: Yes, he had a band. I've seen it three times. All right, what instrument? [00:42:34] Speaker B: I give up. What instrument? Buddy Rogers played the trumpet. [00:42:41] Speaker E: You're partly right. [00:42:42] Speaker B: What do you mean, partly right? What did you do, play part of a trumpet? [00:42:45] Speaker E: He played everyone. [00:42:46] Speaker C: He played the drums with his trumpet. [00:42:48] Speaker E: All of them? [00:42:49] Speaker B: He didn't play all of them. [00:42:50] Speaker E: He could play all of them and he always did. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Okay, then I was correct. [00:42:55] Speaker E: Well, no, because he answers all of them. [00:42:59] Speaker B: I see. I have a feeling I'm getting hoodwigged here. Okay, you answered that. Let me ask you this. Long before the name Hot Lips became a character in mash, that was the theme song of a trumpet playing band leader. What was his name? [00:43:15] Speaker E: Oh, nuts. [00:43:16] Speaker B: Henry something. [00:43:18] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Quickly, we got to go. [00:43:22] Speaker E: All I can think of is McCoy. [00:43:23] Speaker B: No, you're close. He did play sort of like blues with his. That's right. But this guy's name was Hot Lips. That was his nickname. Hey, thank you very much for trying. Stay tuned. We'll give the answer maybe in the next hour. But right now it's time to take a break because it is time for the news. Norm Nathan here with the music trivia thing. I'll introduce you the rest of the cast later. It's WBZ Boston, and it's news time 01:00. [00:43:50] Speaker E: From ABC News, I'm Dorothy McIntyre. President Clinton is being pressured by some groups to name another woman as his choice for attorney general. Now that Zoe Baird has dropped out, ABC's Tim O'Brien tells us from the Justice Department there are some other women's names on the president's list. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Mr. Clinton originally had a number of women in mind, but his first choice, federal judge Pat Wald, said she wasn't interested. Other top choices, federal judge Amalia Kierce and Washington lawyer Brooks Lee Bourne, may still be possibilities, as is Shirley Huffsteadler, a former appeals court judge and secretary of education. [00:44:27] Speaker E: And there's speculation Mr. Clinton could nominate the first black man for the post, focusing on Yale professor Drew days. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Okay, we're playing the dumb music trivia quiz game. It's eight minutes after 01:00 and with us is Ed Mullen. And with us also is Daryl Gould. And with us also is Jack Hart. Giggling. Jack, hi. And of course, pick the category you'd like. Rock or rock and roll or big band. Jazz. Well, not jazz necessarily, because we're talking about some bands already and not jazz bands, but big band. We ask you a question first. If you answer that correctly, then you ask a question. If we miss it, then you go on to your third question, which we ask you. And if you get that one, by George, you win a certificate of award. And that is just Saddar throwing. Okay, let's get on with the game. Right off we'll go to Randy, who's in the town of Norton. Hi, Randy. [00:45:23] Speaker D: Hi. How you doing, Norm? [00:45:24] Speaker B: Hey. We're doing fantastically well. Can you tell? Can you hear us doing so well down there in Norton? [00:45:28] Speaker D: Oh, yes. [00:45:31] Speaker B: Burning up the airways. Rock and roll. Okay. [00:45:34] Speaker C: Rock and roll. Okay, here's a couple of questions about the doors. If you get two out of three right, you're all set. First question, did the doors have any number one hits? Yes or no? [00:45:49] Speaker D: No. [00:45:51] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:45:51] Speaker C: The answer is yes. [00:45:54] Speaker B: It seemed like the obvious answer would be yes. [00:45:57] Speaker D: It really did. [00:45:58] Speaker B: I know. I would have said the same as. You're right. I would have said no. It's a trick question. Rick Dort is saying, light my fire. [00:46:09] Speaker C: He's right. Light my fire. It was one. And hello, I love you was the other one. [00:46:12] Speaker B: Okay. And nobody can ask that question again because we already know the answer. [00:46:18] Speaker D: Can I ask you one? [00:46:20] Speaker C: You still have two more chances. I said two out of. Go ahead. The second question is, who played Jim Morrison in the Oliver Stone movie the Doors? [00:46:35] Speaker B: Was it Manasha Schkolnick? Nobody remembers who Manasha Scholnik was. [00:46:42] Speaker C: Nice. [00:46:43] Speaker D: I'm thinking van something, but no, I don't. [00:46:49] Speaker B: You know, I'm sorry, too, Randy. [00:46:51] Speaker D: Can I just ask you a question? [00:46:53] Speaker B: Sure. [00:46:53] Speaker D: All right. What great drummer played with a broken rib and continued his performance instead of a drumstick? And he broke his rib during the performance. [00:47:07] Speaker B: Adam, during the performance. [00:47:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:47:11] Speaker B: I know that Buddy Rich would have done that. It was it budy rich, because he's the guy. If his nose fell off, he'd continue to play till the end. He had a kid, had a heart attack or two and still played because he said, I'm not going to be a cripple. If I'm going to die, it's going to be playing drums. So it seemed like the logical answer. That's interesting. I had never heard that story about him playing with a broken rib. [00:47:35] Speaker D: Dog. Yeah. [00:47:36] Speaker B: Did that happen during a concert? [00:47:39] Speaker D: I heard him talk about it on Johnny Carson once. [00:47:41] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:47:42] Speaker D: Because those guys were kind of like, know. [00:47:44] Speaker B: I know he was on Johnny Carson show several times. That's an interesting story. I hadn't heard that. Hey, thank you, Randy. [00:47:50] Speaker D: All right, have a great night. [00:47:51] Speaker B: You, too. [00:47:51] Speaker D: Bye bye. [00:47:52] Speaker B: Bye bye. [00:47:52] Speaker C: Now, drumming is one of Carson's hobbies, too. Really? Actually, I saw an old Jack Benny show that was on cable one time and Johnny sung a song. He played the drums and told a few jokes and he was about five years old at the time. And Jack Benny was saying, well, you got to be more well rounded. And then he went on to do all these different things. [00:48:15] Speaker B: That's interesting, though. I didn't, I hadn't realized know Mel Tormey played drums in the Chico Marks band. Chico of the Marx brothers. Did you know that? I saw him play, I think he came into Boston, the RKO Boston theater, and I remember seeing the Chico Marks band. And I know that Meltorme played the drums with him during that period, so he must have been there, but he was not known at the time. He just come off the Jack Armstrong show where he played a character on the Jack Armstrong show out of Chicago. Anyway, here's Jerry and Quincy. Did you like that conversation? Was that interesting, Jerry? [00:48:47] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, that was very inquisitive. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Okay, what category would you like? [00:48:52] Speaker D: Can I take one of the old questions? Elton John question, please? [00:48:56] Speaker B: Sure. Oh, I'm sorry. You want to answer a question that has not been answered yet? Yeah, sure. Which one is that? [00:49:03] Speaker D: The Elton John question. [00:49:05] Speaker C: Oh, the Elton John question, right. No, the Elton John question was answered. We have. [00:49:11] Speaker D: What was it? [00:49:12] Speaker C: Candle in the wind. Yeah, I have that crossed. [00:49:15] Speaker D: Oh, what was the answer to that? [00:49:17] Speaker C: Marilyn Monroe. [00:49:18] Speaker D: What was it? I'm sorry. [00:49:19] Speaker C: That's okay. Would you like to take another question from us? [00:49:22] Speaker D: Sure. [00:49:23] Speaker C: All right. Okay. The question is, who was the lead singer for blood, sweat and tears? [00:49:37] Speaker D: Blood, sweat and tears. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Just an unusually really great singer for pop music. [00:49:47] Speaker B: Had three names. [00:49:50] Speaker C: Had three names. [00:49:52] Speaker F: Yes. [00:49:53] Speaker D: Take a guess. Peter Gabriel. [00:49:55] Speaker C: Peter Franz. Gabriel. No, sorry. [00:49:59] Speaker B: No, I'm sorry. Thank you very much, Jerry. [00:50:01] Speaker D: Okay, bye bye. [00:50:02] Speaker B: Remember I told you only the really dinky bands were doing the. We call the Mickey Moss. They're doing fancy stuff. And I was looking through here, and it says something about the Jimmy Lunsworth band did all of that kind of stuff, too, which was a gimmick that is, waving the instruments back and forth. Which was a gimmick that Glenn Miller picked up from the Jimmy Lunsford band. Now, the Jimmy Lunzford band was probably one of the greatest bands of all time. So I guess the Mickey Mouse bands. I'll have to use some other phrase, then. Okay, we'll go to Jonathan in Salem. Hi, Jonathan. [00:50:36] Speaker D: Good evening, Norm. How are you? [00:50:38] Speaker B: Just fine. How are you doing, Norm? [00:50:39] Speaker D: I wanted to say that I saw you on pop box one afternoon and thought you did a great job and really enjoyed the show. [00:50:45] Speaker B: Oh, thank you. What program was that? [00:50:48] Speaker D: I really can't remember. I think it was Channel 25. [00:50:55] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the thing we did up in Lawrence. I guess just an interview. I was sitting there talking. [00:51:02] Speaker D: Right. [00:51:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:04] Speaker D: Well, that was great. [00:51:04] Speaker B: Oh, well, thank you very much. That was Dick Madison. And a very beautiful lady was there. Who I fell desperately in love with during the filming of that thing. Yeah, I'd forgotten. It's funny, I turned on the television set one Sunday afternoon, and there I was. I heard my voice, and I thought, there's a guy imitating me. Turned out to be me. Anyway, thank you very much, Jonathan, you're only about the fourth person I know who's seen it. And the other two are the beautiful lady and Dick Madison and me. [00:51:33] Speaker D: The other three. [00:51:34] Speaker B: Anyway, what category would you like? [00:51:36] Speaker D: Can I try to answer that blood, sweat and tears question? Yes. [00:51:39] Speaker C: Who was the lead singer for Blood, sweat and tears? [00:51:41] Speaker D: Al Cooper. [00:51:43] Speaker B: No. [00:51:44] Speaker D: Well, him and Steve Katz started the group. [00:51:47] Speaker C: Okay. But that really wasn't the question. [00:51:49] Speaker B: There was a vocalist who always reminded me somehow of Ray Charles a little bit. [00:51:55] Speaker C: Yeah, very soulful. [00:51:56] Speaker B: That might throw you off a little bit. But I thought he sang very well. He did have three names, though. [00:52:02] Speaker C: Do you want to take another? [00:52:03] Speaker B: Sam Sidney Libowitz. You want to take another shot? [00:52:09] Speaker D: Well, between Al Cooper and Steve Katz. [00:52:11] Speaker C: No, it's neither of them. [00:52:13] Speaker D: It's neither of them who were lead singer. Right. [00:52:20] Speaker B: Rip Van Winkle. [00:52:22] Speaker D: Thank you. I almost can go through the whole group. [00:52:26] Speaker B: No, I think not. I'm laughing because Rick Dewart, our producer of my ear, said it was Adam Clayton Powell. Three names. One of them is correct, though. Hey, I got to get going. Jonathan, thanks a lot for trying. I appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. I wanted very much of this guy to win because he's one of the few who saw me on television. [00:52:51] Speaker C: Adam Clayton Powell. Adam Clayton later changed the name to Boog as the first baseman. [00:52:56] Speaker B: That's right. He was Boog Powell later on became Judy what's her name. Powell. [00:53:01] Speaker C: Jody Powell. [00:53:02] Speaker B: No, no, the musical comedy person who's on those infomercials now things or whatever they call Powell. Jane Powell. Yeah, he put a dress on because he was on the Geraldo Rivera show. Anyway, I don't know. [00:53:21] Speaker C: What was the last five minutes of this show? [00:53:24] Speaker B: Sean and Chelsea. How you doing, Sean? [00:53:26] Speaker D: How you doing? [00:53:26] Speaker B: Good, thanks. Where in Chelsea do you live, by the way, roughly? [00:53:29] Speaker D: Orange street. [00:53:30] Speaker B: Okay, I know where that is. Yeah, because I live there. Not on Orange street, but I lived in Chelsea. [00:53:35] Speaker D: Oh, you do? [00:53:35] Speaker B: I'm a graduate of Chelsea. How can't you tell? By the fact that I'm so darn bright. [00:53:39] Speaker D: I was born and raised in this beautiful city by the. [00:53:42] Speaker B: Hey, hey. Well, I hope you do. [00:53:45] Speaker D: Just listen, if I ask how your horse is doing, do I get any special treatment here? [00:53:50] Speaker B: No, you get a kind thank you from me, and that's about it. What category would you like, by the way, Sean? [00:53:56] Speaker D: Rock and roll. [00:53:57] Speaker B: Rock and roll. [00:53:58] Speaker E: Okay. [00:53:58] Speaker B: Rock and roll. Give it. Lay it on them. [00:54:00] Speaker C: Here we go. There's a lot of questions up on the board. Do you want to take one that hasn't been answered yet? [00:54:04] Speaker D: Was the comeback album answered by. I believe it was. Ed mentioned Tina Turner. [00:54:11] Speaker C: Both comeback album questions have been taken. Yeah. [00:54:17] Speaker D: Okay, I'll take a new one then. [00:54:18] Speaker C: Take a new one. There's a couple of other ones that are on the board, including about eyes question. My eyes adore you. Who sung that? [00:54:30] Speaker D: No, I'll go something new. We'll go fresh. [00:54:34] Speaker C: Okay, here's the question. If you take your troubles down to Madame Ruth, you know that gypsy with the gold cap tooth, what will she give you? That's obviously a line from the song. [00:54:50] Speaker D: I'd guess. A new horse. [00:54:54] Speaker B: Wow. [00:54:57] Speaker C: That's what she gives second. That's the second thing. If the first one doesn't work. No, that's not right. [00:55:05] Speaker D: I got to at least liven this up a little bit. No, I'm talking about instead of sitting there saying, I don't know, at least I'm trying to make a little humor in this. I'm not talking about the show, believe me. [00:55:20] Speaker B: No, you did just fine, Sean. Anybody from Chelsea is okay on my list. [00:55:25] Speaker D: Thank you very much. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Hey, thanks for calling. [00:55:26] Speaker D: Bye bye bye. [00:55:28] Speaker B: Okay, here's another Chelsea person. Joe. How you doing, Joe? [00:55:31] Speaker D: Hi, Normie. [00:55:32] Speaker B: Hey, how are you doing, Big Joe? Okay, what category you'd like rock, I'll bet you. I can tell by the inflection I'll take. [00:55:39] Speaker D: Gregorian chance. [00:55:42] Speaker C: In 1755, there was a top ten. [00:55:45] Speaker B: Hit, but there was a movie in which the featured song was, through a long and lonely night. Through a long and lonely night, I whisper your name. It was based upon a gregorian chant. Which gregorian chant was that? Never mind. I don't know the answer, either. Is it really rock that you want to do? [00:56:05] Speaker D: Oh, sure. Why not? Okay, I'll probably get it wrong anyway. [00:56:09] Speaker B: Oh, don't take a negative attitude, Joe. You're going to do okay. Yeah, lay it on him, big Ed. [00:56:14] Speaker C: Here we go. What tv star turned rock star was booed off the stage for singing new material at an oldie show? It's kind of a famous. [00:56:27] Speaker B: I know the answer to that myself, and I don't know anything about any of the questions. You're sorry? I'm sorry. [00:56:32] Speaker D: I don't know. One of the monkeys. [00:56:35] Speaker C: No, it was not one of the monkeys. It was not one of the monkeys. Okay? [00:56:42] Speaker B: His father never worked. Or if he did, nobody knew what it was. He did. Anyway, thank you, Joe. That was a big clue right there. [00:56:51] Speaker F: That was bigger than that clue I gave and you were chiding me for. [00:56:55] Speaker C: Can I review a couple of the questions that are still on the board? [00:56:57] Speaker B: Before you do that, let me mention the fact that Daryl Gould, as I guess everybody knows, is part of our panel, and Daryl's specialty is the doo op music. Anybody wants to take the do op category? [00:57:07] Speaker F: The old time do? [00:57:08] Speaker B: The old time do up. [00:57:09] Speaker F: As a matter of fact, what you were just asking about, what does Madam Ruth give you? Who sang the song, would fit right into that category originally? [00:57:19] Speaker C: It sure would. Yeah, that would be a good. [00:57:21] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:57:22] Speaker C: We could tack on extra points if you get that one, too. [00:57:25] Speaker F: Extra what? You get two certificates. [00:57:28] Speaker C: Sure, why not? The coffee machine is right out there. [00:57:31] Speaker F: Ladies and gentlemen, for two certificates and a date with Jack Hart. [00:57:35] Speaker B: Okay, now, what are the questions that are still up there? [00:57:38] Speaker C: Okay. Name the group's biggest album. We have Jefferson Airplane, REO Speed Wagon, and Millie Vanilli. If you could name two out of three. You're all set. That's on the board. We have a couple of questions about the doors, and if you could answer those. Who is the lead singer for blood, sweat and tears, going back just a little bit. Name two people who sung if not for you. And the. Harry Belafonte had a hit album that was number one for eight months. It had the hit singles Dayo and Jamaica farewell. Can you name the title of the album? And there we go. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Okay. In the big band category, we still have that. Hot Lips. Who was hot Lips? He conducted a kind of a corny band. Not kind of. It was a corny band. But he was kind of popular for an ear for music. Pardon me, but they all had an ear for music. Ear corn. I think I get what you're striving at. [00:58:37] Speaker F: Also, Jack's question was still out there, too. That wasn't answered. About where did rock and pneumonia and. Rock and arthritis. What song did that come from? [00:58:48] Speaker B: Okay, let's go to Phil and Newton. Maybe he knows the answer to all of these things. Hi, Phil. [00:58:52] Speaker D: Norm. [00:58:53] Speaker B: Yes. [00:58:54] Speaker D: If you dare me, I will answer every question on the board. [00:58:58] Speaker B: We dare you. Just answer one. It will be good enough. But wallpaper your house with certificates. [00:59:03] Speaker D: Okay. Lead singer of blood, sweat and tears was David Clayton Thomas. [00:59:07] Speaker C: That's right. David Clayton Thomas.

Is there a real snappy answer for this one? [00:59:52] Speaker D: Oh, I don't know if you call it snappy. [00:59:54] Speaker C: Well, let's find out. [00:59:54] Speaker D: It's a popular. [00:59:56] Speaker C: Let's hear it. [00:59:57] Speaker D: All the three guys in the group were all from the states, but they were all children of servicemen and they were stationed in England. And when they were trying to come up with a name, it had been so many years since they'd been home, they decided to name their group after the country they were from. [01:00:12] Speaker C: Jack, I don't know. [01:00:13] Speaker B: Son of a gun. We'll accept that as a question and hit you with a real lulu. [01:00:19] Speaker C: Okay, here's a good one.

[01:08:33] Speaker C: Okay, here we go. The first one is. [01:08:35] Speaker B: The answer is. [01:08:40] Speaker E: Okay, go ahead. [01:08:41] Speaker C: Four songs and one of them is not his. Help me make it through the night. Ode to Billy Joe, me and Bobby McGee for the good times. [01:08:52] Speaker E: For the good times. [01:08:54] Speaker C: No, I'm sorry. He wrote that one. [01:08:55] Speaker E: Let me ask you a question. [01:08:57] Speaker B: Ask it anyway. What the heck. [01:08:59] Speaker E: It's a song in the 50s about a girl. And a lot of this group songs were banned because it was too suggestive in that era about a girl that couldn't work anymore because she had a baby. Who was the group? [01:09:14] Speaker F: The group was Hank Ballard and the Midnighters. [01:09:17] Speaker E: Dirty dog. Yeah. [01:09:19] Speaker C: Remember those dogs? [01:09:20] Speaker E: Annie had a baby. Work with me, Annie. Sexy ways. And you call up a radio station and they couldn't play them for you. [01:09:29] Speaker F: You had to buy them under the counter. Yeah, from that era. Do you remember Toy Bell by the bees? [01:09:36] Speaker E: Oh, no. [01:09:37] Speaker F: Well, this would be a great question for you had you gone further, because. [01:09:42] Speaker E: My dingling by Chuck Berry. [01:09:43] Speaker F: That's the same song. It is back in the 50s by the Bees on the imperial label. You had to know what you want and get it under the counter. And then Chuck Berry had a huge hit with it a couple of decades later. [01:09:57] Speaker E: Yeah. No, I'm telling you, there was some. [01:09:59] Speaker D: Hey, this is fun. [01:10:00] Speaker F: We're not playing a game. We're reliving old times. [01:10:02] Speaker E: No, really. I can remember calling a radio station and asking them to play a song called WPLJ. It was by the four deuces and it was about white port and lemon juice. They wouldn't play it because it was alcohol. Because it was about alcohol. They just wouldn't play it. And I was just so disappointed because I thought I was so cool that I knew the song and I was calling to request it. [01:10:26] Speaker B: You are cool. [01:10:27] Speaker C: We think she's cool. [01:10:27] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:10:28] Speaker B: You're very cool, Kathy. Thank you very much. [01:10:30] Speaker E: All right. [01:10:30] Speaker B: Call us again. [01:10:31] Speaker E: I will. [01:10:32] Speaker B: Okay. And there she is. She just called again. She's on the next line.

[01:10:41] Speaker D: I wanted to tell you that love potion number nine was number one for. [01:10:45] Speaker E: Three consecutive weeks in a row. 1965. And it was done by the searchers. [01:10:50] Speaker B: I think you're going to be a tough cookie to deal with now. You know a lot of stuff. There big dog. [01:10:55] Speaker D: Okay, now, is that question, if not. [01:10:58] Speaker E: For you, still available? [01:10:59] Speaker C: That's right. Can you name at least two people who have sung? [01:11:03] Speaker D: If I remember correctly, one was Mr. Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. [01:11:09] Speaker E: The second was a former Beatle by. [01:11:11] Speaker D: The name of George Harrison. [01:11:12] Speaker B: Son of a gun. But what about Anson Weeks? [01:11:15] Speaker D: That I don't know. [01:11:17] Speaker B: Okay, ask us something. [01:11:19] Speaker E: And I have a question for you. Name the only beatle to have two number one back to back solo hits. [01:11:27] Speaker D: And what were they? [01:11:31] Speaker C: Back to back solo, number one. Oh, we haven't heard much from Tony this evening. [01:11:37] Speaker B: Tony knows the answer to this one, don't you, Tony? [01:11:39] Speaker C: No. Jack Hart is a big Beatles fan. I'm trying to narrow it down to four of them, and I've got that much down so far. [01:11:46] Speaker B: There's four beatles. Yeah. No, it's one of the ones from England. Okay, back to back hits by one of the Beatles. [01:11:55] Speaker D: Two number one soldiers. [01:11:56] Speaker B: Okay, who is the Beatle and what were the songs? Are you there, Jack? Yeah, I'm here. You can't think of the answer either. Trying to think. [01:12:03] Speaker F: Jack, do you suppose we might want to zero in on Paul McCartney and yesterday's as one of them? [01:12:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that might be. Well, I was going to say, or. [01:12:13] Speaker D: Maybe not while they were still a. [01:12:15] Speaker C: Beatle. [01:12:17] Speaker F: After they broke up. [01:12:19] Speaker C: I think it's John Lennon. It's probably up the double fantasy record after. Because that went. Got the Grammy, went through the roof. [01:12:26] Speaker B: I'm going to have to call you guys out because we could go all night trying to guess. I guess they don't know. John. [01:12:32] Speaker E: Who are they? This person was Richard Starkey, aka Ringo. Star with your 16 and photograph. [01:12:43] Speaker B: Okay. [01:12:44] Speaker D: Ever have a number one going solo? [01:12:46] Speaker E: Was my sweet Lord by George Harrison in 1970, though. [01:12:50] Speaker B: Okay. This is Nathan Isaac Putklibnik, aka Norm. Nathan. And here's one final question from you. [01:12:56] Speaker D: Okay, I'm ready. [01:12:57] Speaker C: Okay. [01:12:58] Speaker D: Rock and roll. It will be. [01:12:59] Speaker B: Okay.

Name two Chuck Berry songs that the Beatles recorded. [01:13:11] Speaker D: Okay, rock and roll music, right? [01:13:19] Speaker E: The rock and roll music is off the Beatles, 1965. [01:13:23] Speaker C: That was also known as something else. [01:13:25] Speaker D: What? [01:13:26] Speaker E: The Beatles 1965 album. [01:13:28] Speaker D: Yeah, it could have been. Well, in America it might have been. It was Beatles for sale in England. [01:13:36] Speaker C: Okay, the two Chuck Berry songs. One is rock and roll music, like you just said, and. [01:13:42] Speaker D: Okay, Chuck Berry. [01:13:44] Speaker B: I think I'll give you about five more seconds there, John. [01:13:48] Speaker D: I don't know if they did a copy of sweet Little 16 or not. [01:13:52] Speaker E: I don't know. [01:13:53] Speaker C: No, I'm sorry. [01:13:54] Speaker B: I'm sorry, John.

We're just having a great time here. [01:17:45] Speaker D: I'll tell you, I've been listening to you for years and years. I used to dj and come home late at night for my gigs and listen to you, and it was great. [01:17:54] Speaker B: Hey, thanks a lot. Is it still great? [01:17:57] Speaker D: Actually, well, I have a different job now and I still come home late at. [01:18:00] Speaker B: See, but I don't listen anymore. But I now listen to Larry King. Is that what you're trying to tell? [01:18:07] Speaker D: Please. [01:18:08] Speaker B: Okay, thank you. What do you do now? [01:18:10] Speaker D: I work in a restaurant in Boston. [01:18:12] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. What category would you like? [01:18:15] Speaker D: Actually, I know the answer to that question you just asked. [01:18:18] Speaker C: And what song is Spider Murphy, aka George Clinton? Is Spider Murphy playing on the saxophone? [01:18:26] Speaker D: Is it jailhouse rock? [01:18:27] Speaker C: That's right. Jailhouse rock. [01:18:29] Speaker D: Yeah, that had a couple of strange lines in it. [01:18:31] Speaker B: Okay, you got a question for us? [01:18:33] Speaker D: Yeah, I do. This person was associated with the Red Sox organization, and he wrote the song summertime. Summertime. [01:18:49] Speaker C: Is it Sherm Feller? [01:18:51] Speaker D: That's it. [01:18:53] Speaker B: I never thought of him as a rock composer, but. [01:18:59] Speaker D: When I used to disjack, I did a gig one time, he was there and they asked him to come up and to introduce that song. It was kind of strange. [01:19:11] Speaker B: Okay. No, he's written quite a few songs, as a matter of fact. [01:19:14] Speaker D: He has. Oh, really? [01:19:15] Speaker E: Yeah, he wrote. [01:19:17] Speaker B: He wrote a suite for John F. Kennedy, as a matter of fact, that was performed, I think, at Lincoln Center, I think not within the past two, three years. So he's done. Okay, I guess that's it, because they can guess the question that you asked, Dave. So thank you very much. [01:19:34] Speaker D: All right, Norm. Have a good night. [01:19:35] Speaker B: Thank you for listening to us all through the. [01:19:37] Speaker D: You're welcome. [01:19:37] Speaker B: Take care. Bye bye. [01:19:38] Speaker D: Now. [01:19:41] Speaker B: If you want to imitate Sherm, fellow, have to say, fortunately, they have a scoreboard, so you can see it in print. Actually, he's a very nice man. Sherm is one of. [01:19:55] Speaker C: Can you do the weather that way? He used to work at WBZ back in the think. [01:20:00] Speaker B: No, I don't think so. [01:20:02] Speaker C: You're wrong. [01:20:02] Speaker B: All right. No, he worked at. You're wrong. Spider Murphy used to work at WBZ. And in fact, we have his saxophone in the WBZ hall of Fame. [01:20:12] Speaker F: Sure was at Orl, wasn't he? [01:20:15] Speaker B: He was at WWEI when he first started. He came back from the service back. And he was one of the first guys to do a talk show on radio. Late night thing, which everybody used to watch and listen to, rather, and drop by to see you take a date out to a movie and you say, let's go see Sherm Feller. He used to be at the, like. [01:20:33] Speaker C: In a display case or something. Sherm Feller. [01:20:36] Speaker B: No, he had a studio audience, and he was on between midnight and 01:00 a.m. In downtown Boston. 182 Tremont street. Audience for talk show? [01:20:45] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:20:46] Speaker B: I shouldn't be surprised. Weekends he'd have a huge audience. He was the first. He'd have Stan Kenton coming by and all the big performers of that period. He's really a pioneer. [01:20:56] Speaker C: Playing jailhouse rock, Elvis. [01:20:59] Speaker B: Anyway, let's take some more calls. [01:21:01] Speaker C: That's fine. [01:21:02] Speaker B: Andrew in Boston. Hi, Andrew. You're on WBC. [01:21:04] Speaker D: How you doing? [01:21:05] Speaker B: Good, thanks. [01:21:05] Speaker D: Good. I was wondering if the Leonard Skinner question had been answered yet. [01:21:09] Speaker C: Oh, this will be good. How did Leonard Skinner get their name? [01:21:13] Speaker D: I believe it was one of their high school teachers. [01:21:15] Speaker C: That's right. [01:21:16] Speaker D: That was his name. I believe it was a gym teacher. [01:21:18] Speaker C: That's right. The name was Leonard Skinner, and they called it Leonard Skinner. How'd you know that? That's a great. [01:21:25] Speaker D: I read it a while ago in an article I was reading about them, actually. [01:21:29] Speaker B: Why don't ask these guys a question, if you would. [01:21:31] Speaker D: Okay. [01:21:31] Speaker B: And could you ask a question like, could Ed Mullen turn pages without making so much noise? [01:21:40] Speaker D: Okay, I got one for you. [01:21:41] Speaker C: I'm using parchment today. [01:21:44] Speaker D: The Led Zeppelin tune ramble on. A lot of their lines were taken from a very famous blues artist from back in the. Wonder what his name was? [01:21:58] Speaker C: Willie Dixon? [01:22:00] Speaker D: No, it was Robert Johnson. [01:22:03] Speaker B: Robert Johnson? [01:22:04] Speaker D: Yeah.

She's probably younger than my daughter, but I like to act like an ass every now and then. Jerry. And we're back to the town of Clinton again. Hi, Jerry. [01:24:01] Speaker E: Jerry? This is Jerry, back again because I answered three questions and I didn't have a question for you, so now I have. [01:24:11] Speaker C: The extended version.

[01:25:17] Speaker B: Mickey Gilly. Mickey Gilly. Mickey Gilly. My goodness. Okay, one final question for Jerry. [01:25:23] Speaker E: Okay. [01:25:24] Speaker B: Okay. And if you get this one, you get the certificate also. [01:25:27] Speaker E: Oh, by the way, I have the answer to the fat domino one. [01:25:29] Speaker B: Well, that's too late for that, because that's an entry question. Now we have to give you a new one. Okay, I just made up that rule. [01:25:38] Speaker C: Okay, sure. [01:25:39] Speaker E: Cut me off again. [01:25:39] Speaker B: No, I didn't just make that up. That's all been part of it right along. [01:25:44] Speaker D: Okay.

[01:29:16] Speaker B: Bye bye now. Okay, let's go to Bob in Fitchburg. Hi, Bob. [01:29:20] Speaker D: How you doing? [01:29:21] Speaker B: Good, thanks. Rock and roll, I would assume. And you want a question or you want to answer one? [01:29:27] Speaker D: I would like to answer the hot Lips question. [01:29:30] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [01:29:31] Speaker D: That's hot Lips page. [01:29:33] Speaker B: No, it isn't. There was a hot lips page, that trumpet player. That's right. But the band leader whose theme music was hot Lips and stuff was not hot Lips page. That's an awfully good question, though. A good answer. I'm sorry. I feel so badly about that because you sound like a young guy. For you to even know hot Lips page, I think, is great. [01:29:54] Speaker E: Yeah. I'm 29. No. [01:29:57] Speaker B: Are you older than that? [01:29:59] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:29:59] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, thanks very much. I'm sorry. [01:30:01] Speaker D: That's all right. [01:30:02] Speaker B: Thank you. Bye bye. Okay, let's go to Rob in Needham. Hi, Rob. [01:30:07] Speaker D: How are you doing? [01:30:08] Speaker B: Good, thanks. [01:30:09] Speaker D: Can I ask you a question about the doors? [01:30:13] Speaker C: Yes. No, you. [01:30:19] Speaker E: Okay. [01:30:22] Speaker C: All right, the question is, we have two questions left for the course, if you could name them both. Who played Jim Larson in the Oliver Stone movie the Doors? [01:30:31] Speaker D: That was Val Kilmer. [01:30:32] Speaker C: Val Kilmer is correct. The last question is, what label did they record for exclusively? [01:30:38] Speaker D: Electra. [01:30:39] Speaker B: Right. [01:30:40] Speaker D: That's right. [01:30:40] Speaker C: Could you ask us a question? [01:30:42] Speaker D: Well, it stayed with the Doors. They released an album in 1960, 919 70, with their greatest hits or, like, the hits of that period. What was the name of that album? [01:31:01] Speaker C: There was another title for the greatest hits album. [01:31:04] Speaker D: No, they had their best hits up until that point. And they released that around 1960, 919, 70, after the release of their greatest hits, volume one. [01:31:17] Speaker C: I don't really understand the question. A lot of the big songs were on their first album called the Doors. I don't really understand the question. Sorry to be so evasive. [01:31:32] Speaker D: All right. They had their hits, and then after they released the first two or three albums, they released the group of the songs that were, like, their best to that point. [01:31:46] Speaker B: The best of the doors. [01:31:48] Speaker D: No. [01:31:49] Speaker B: Now, what's the answer? [01:31:50] Speaker D: It's called the 13 album. [01:31:54] Speaker B: It's called the 13 album? [01:31:55] Speaker D: Yes. [01:31:56] Speaker B: Okay. [01:31:57] Speaker C: I guess there were 13 songs on it. [01:31:59] Speaker B: Okay, final question then, for you, Rob. See if you can get this one, and you win a certificate if you do. [01:32:04] Speaker C: All right, Steve Winwood is solo. Now, can you name the three bands that he used to be in. [01:32:12] Speaker D: Wanting two out of three? [01:32:16] Speaker C: Okay, sure. [01:32:20] Speaker D: Cream and traffic. [01:32:22] Speaker C: No, traffic is correct. [01:32:26] Speaker D: Cream's not right. [01:32:27] Speaker C: No. [01:32:36] Speaker B: Give you about five more seconds, Rob. [01:32:39] Speaker D: The Norm Nathan band. [01:32:41] Speaker B: Son of a gun, he hit it right on the butt. Norm Nathan is singing and dancing his way into your hearts. I'm sorry, Rob. Thank you very much for the call. Thank you. Bye bye. Incidentally, the hot lips. Maybe I should have given it to the guy, because he did say hot lips. Page. The question was long, and I'll give you the answer to this. Long before the name Hot Lips became a character in mash, that was the theme song of a trumpet playing band leader. His theme song. The man's name was Henry Bussey. [01:33:06] Speaker A: I hope you were keeping track of those unanswered questions, because I didn't, and I'm of no help whatsoever. Even back in 93, we could not explain the rules enough in. Jerry from Clinton with the callback, second chance and the win. [01:33:22] Speaker D: Yay. [01:33:22] Speaker A: Closing the vault and leaving this world a little sillier and filled with music knowledge than we found it. For well rounded players, the art of stalling for time. Sing, sing, sing. Being young and living with older parents. WWTA. The host, being confused by the rules. Anson weeks in his orchestra.
