Our categories are rock, and we're asking people not to pick specific eras, like early rock or late rock or whatever, just rock in general. Because if you're a rock and roll fan, you ought to know. Have a pretty fair acquaintance of rock from all periods. Also big bands. That'll be me and jazz. So just name when people call. Just name the category, and then we'll take it from there. Okay, we'll go to Tom, who's out in Worcester, first of all. Hi, Tom.

Anyway, we'll go to David in Boston.
[00:04:36] Speaker E: Alex. I'll take Napoleon Awards for 200.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: David.
[00:04:40] Speaker C: How you doing, Norm?
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Okay, if you're gonna tell me Your category is 18th century English literature, I'm gonna walk right out of here.
[00:04:48] Speaker C: Basically, the concepts of disestablishmentarianism. How about that? That, that.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Now, that is right on the button.
[00:04:55] Speaker E: That's right.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: How about. How about Rock and Roll?
[00:04:57] Speaker B: Rock and Roll. Okay, here's Ed to ask you your very first question.
[00:05:02] Speaker E: Could you name the five Beatles movies that the Beatles themselves were in?
[00:05:12] Speaker C: Love Me Do.
That's a song, isn't it? No, I just like that.

[00:05:20] Speaker E: All right, this one.
Keep going.
[00:05:26] Speaker B: We have a time limit of three hours.
[00:05:29] Speaker C: I may need it. It's a little before my.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah, but we figured anybody who we. We thought about this, and we thought that, you know, people who are interested in rock and roll probably should have a At least a fair acquaintance of rock and roll from all eras. Particularly the biggest who were such a profound influence. Don't you think so, Jack? Oh, absolutely. They were profound.
[00:05:50] Speaker C: Oh, geez.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: I do feel a little bit like a grandfather being heaven. Hearing someone say that was before their time.
[00:05:58] Speaker C: I'm sorry, Norm, I can only think of that one.
I had a great question for you too.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: Oh, why don't you ask us anyway? We're curious.
[00:06:05] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:06:06] Speaker B: Even if it won't count.
[00:06:09] Speaker C: What town and state was Bob Dylan born in?
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Indiana.

[00:06:31] Speaker E: I heard he liked Indiana.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: He played a concert in Indiana once, I think.
[00:06:35] Speaker C: Yeah, he stayed in Minnesota pretty much up until he got around 20 years old.
[00:06:40] Speaker E: What's his real name?
[00:06:41] Speaker C: Robert Zimmerman.
[00:06:43] Speaker B: Robert and sin. I think I might have known that if you'd give me time. That was a good question.

Do you know that, dad? Or do you know that? Jack?
[00:12:00] Speaker C: Jack.

[00:12:35] Speaker E: Okay, okay. What does the BB stand for in BB King?
[00:12:41] Speaker C: Oh, Blue's brother.
[00:12:45] Speaker E: I'm sorry, it's not right. But it is close. But it's not right.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Oh, because I didn't know that either. What does it say? No, hold on a minute. What we do is we sort of hang that up on the wall.
Yeah, that's right. Anybody who wants to call and answer that question that can be their, their lead in so that they can take that question instead of one that will ask them fresh. So you'll have to stay tuned. We'll have to find out the answer a little bit later on.
[00:13:09] Speaker C: All right.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: It's a good thing we're on radio because if we ask it too fresh, they might want to slap us.
[00:13:13] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: Are you going to do this all the way through the program, Jack? You're going to do your bad jokes.
[00:13:18] Speaker C: All the way through.

[00:13:31] Speaker C: How you doing?
[00:13:32] Speaker B: I'm doing okay, but you had to do something about that cough.
[00:13:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I got a bad cold.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: Okay, let me, let me look and see if we got any pertussine left over from, from before. Okay, here's your category is what?
[00:13:48] Speaker C: Could I get a traffic report question from Jack Hart?
[00:13:53] Speaker B: No, I don't think so. But you're very kind and I know you. I know Jack is flattered by that.
What constitutes a traffic jam would be a good one. Yes. No, but what would you like? Would you like rock or jazz or big bands or.
[00:14:07] Speaker C: Oh, that. Big bands.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Big bands.
Oh, hey, I'm excited.
I'm so, I'm just so darn terribly excited. Okay, let me, let me get you on here now. That's okay. Hold on a minute.
I'm kind of taken by. I'm taken by surprise. I didn't think anybody asked that. Okay, what instrument was played by these musicians, these orchestra leaders all played the same instrument. I don't mean the same instrument, exactly the same instrument, but the same. The. Well, the same instrument. Larry Clinton, Vaughn Monroe and Louis Primo. What did they all play?
Okay, trumpet. Yeah, you just, you just got that. That's good. Right under the wire. Excellent. Okay, now ask us a question in the same area.
[00:15:02] Speaker C: Okay.
What was the.
Whose orchestra backed up tonight's show prior to Doc Severinson?
[00:15:15] Speaker B: Prior to Doc Severson would have been Skitch Henderson.
Okay. Hey, thanks a million, Bob. Appreciate you calling. Bye bye now.
[00:15:22] Speaker E: Good question.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a good question too. Yeah, Skitch Henderson with a beard. And who. And I guess the follow up question would be why did they call him Skitch?
They call him Skitsch. That actually was his name. His real name was Skitch Effilich.
I don't know why I said that. That already is stupid.
Okay, let's take one.
Thank you very much. 2, 5, 4, 10, 30. If you want to get in on all of this, we do have. We do have. As soon as somebody hangs up. Ben, Daniel. And then punch up a number, and that's the best way to get in. 2, 5, 4, 10:30. Area code 617.
And you can win a certificate of award. It's not a big prize, I know that, but it's just kind of fun to take part. And the categories are rock, and we can't really pin it down to any specific era. So when you say rock, it'll be. It could be one of the older rock things or one of the newer things.
Big band, jazz, whatever you'd like. Just tell us the category and we'll fire away. We'll go to Jim in Worcester. Hi, Jim.
[00:16:23] Speaker C: Hi. My category is rock and roll.
[00:16:26] Speaker B: Good.
[00:16:26] Speaker C: I'd like to do the Beatles question.
[00:16:28] Speaker E: Okay. The Beatles question was name the five movies that the Beatles were actually in.
[00:16:34] Speaker C: Right.
[00:16:35] Speaker E: Go ahead.
[00:16:36] Speaker C: You say actually in. Do you mean they had to actually appear physically, or just their voices?
[00:16:41] Speaker E: I'll accept the voices one, too. I know what you're talking about.
[00:16:44] Speaker C: All right. The albums were. I mean, the movies were Hard Days. Night. Right. Help. Right. Magical Mystery Tour. Right. Yellow Submarine and Let It Be. Right, Right.
[00:16:54] Speaker E: Very good.
[00:16:55] Speaker C: Thank you.

Okay, now you ask us a question, if you would, Jim.
[00:17:02] Speaker C: Okay.

[00:22:18] Speaker C: Good morning, gentlemen.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: Good morning.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: I too called up about the Beatles question, so I'm not too good on other rock trivia, but I'll try it anyways. I'll go out for punishment.
You ready?
[00:22:30] Speaker E: Ready for this one?
[00:22:31] Speaker C: Sure.
[00:22:32] Speaker E: What were the Evoley brothers first names?
I'll give you a hint. There are two of them.
[00:22:44] Speaker C: I'm afraid you've got me.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: There must have been like names that rhyme, like Ed and Ted or Mike and Ike or something like that.
[00:22:52] Speaker C: All I keep thinking of is like Chad and Jeremy. No, that's not.
[00:22:57] Speaker B: That's right. No, no, that's not that.
No, it's not that.
Were they the. Are they the same group as the Andrew Sisters? No, just a bad joke.
[00:23:08] Speaker C: You know, life. Right.
[00:23:09] Speaker B: Okay, well, that's a question somebody else can lead off with if they know the answer. I'm sorry, you didn't know that, Paul.
[00:23:14] Speaker C: Well, sorry to waste your time.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: No, you didn't waste our time.
[00:23:18] Speaker C: Question for you, just out of curiosity.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: Okay, ask us anyway. What the heck?
[00:23:23] Speaker C: Can any of you name the Beatles first manager? He wrote a book and he called himself the man who gave the Beatles away.
[00:23:31] Speaker B: Oh, oh, I know.
Brian Epstein.
[00:23:37] Speaker C: Nope. He was actually their second manager, Andrew Lou golden.
His name was Alan Williams. Oh. He owned a club in Liverpool and they actually had a falling out because apparently the Beatles didn't pay him some small fee that they owed him. When they were still an amateur group. So he told them to walk.
[00:23:59] Speaker B: And then the superstars, the Sam Phillips of his day.
[00:24:04] Speaker C: Kind of a sad story.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Oh, that is a very sad story. Hey, Paul, thanks very much for the call. Appreciate hearing from you.
[00:24:10] Speaker C: Thank you. Good night.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: Good night now.
Okay, 2, 5, 4, 10:30, as we go to Scott in Lynn. Hi, Scott.
[00:24:17] Speaker C: Good evening, gentlemen.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:24:18] Speaker E: Good evening.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: Hi.
[00:24:20] Speaker C: Before I participate in your game tonight, Norm, I'd like to tell you about this radio log and call book I picked up at an antique store. Copyright 1927.
[00:24:32] Speaker B: What is that? White's radio log.
[00:24:34] Speaker C: Dustin's. It's called Dustin's by Merle Dustin. And it lists all the stations around the country.
And in Boston, it lists wbza.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: Well, yeah, no, there were. There were two stations.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: There was WBZ in Springfield.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: In Springfield, there was wbza, right? That's right.
[00:24:56] Speaker C: WBZ in Springfield and BZA was in Boston.
[00:25:01] Speaker B: Well, that must have been later on. I mean, and it must have been very, very early on. When I was. Even when I was a kid, the call letters would go and the announcer would always say, wbz Hotel Bradford, Boston. And WBZA Hotel, Kimball, Springfield. WBZA was actually. Was in Springfield. Now, it's. It's possible it may have been the other way around for a little bit at the very beginning, way, way back in the 20s or so when BZ went on the air. But it was BZA later on, and they were in Springfield.
And as a matter of fact, we were out there doing a talk in Springfield, and we looked for the Hotel Kimball.
[00:25:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: Which is what was part of the call letters. And that's where the studios were. It's now a condominium or some kind of a housing development. It's no longer a hotel, but still looks quite nice. And it's still in Springfield. But that was wbz. And the idea was they broadcast exactly the same programming as WBC.
[00:25:55] Speaker C: It was on the same frequency.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:25:59] Speaker C: 900.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: 900, then.
Okay. That's right. Because the FCC later on changed the frequencies of the radio stations at one point. And so BZ was at 900 before then and then went to 1030, but they were both on the same. And it was simultaneous programming. And the idea was to get into the Springfield area, which is still kind of tricky for us, even though we get out to Illinois and Indiana and all over the place. I think because of the Berkshire Mountains and the Berkshire Hills out there, sometimes we don't get into.
[00:26:31] Speaker C: Clearly.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Anyway, see, you're okay, Scott. Where were we? We were Going to ask you a question.
[00:26:37] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: Have you already flunked or.
Okay. And your category is what?
[00:26:43] Speaker C: Rock.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:26:45] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:26:45] Speaker E: Here's a good question for you. The Harry Chapin song Taxi.
[00:26:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:50] Speaker E: You familiar with that? Okay, the question is a two part question.
Name the passenger and what address was the passenger going to?
[00:27:00] Speaker C: Harry was the passenger.
No, no, he's the driver. There you go. He's the driver. Right.
[00:27:09] Speaker E: That wasn't part of the question, though, who the driver was.
[00:27:11] Speaker C: Right.
The passenger is an. Is an old flame.
Right.
[00:27:19] Speaker E: Whose name is.
[00:27:22] Speaker C: I haven't heard that song in a long time.
Oh, boy.
She was going to.
Past the gate in the fine trim lawn so fast.
[00:27:37] Speaker E: Yeah, you're in. You're in the fine trim.
[00:27:40] Speaker C: Is that her address?
[00:27:41] Speaker E: No, there's a. There's an actual address that said in the song.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: You know what street she was on.
[00:27:46] Speaker E: Yeah.
And her name comes up once also.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: I'm gonna give you Sue.
[00:27:51] Speaker C: Her name is Sue.
[00:27:52] Speaker E: Her name is Sue.
[00:27:53] Speaker C: You're right. That's right.
[00:27:54] Speaker E: Halfway right.
[00:27:55] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:27:55] Speaker E: The address, she's going to 16 Parkside Lane right now.
[00:28:02] Speaker C: What.
[00:28:02] Speaker E: What city, though? What city?
[00:28:05] Speaker C: Oh, come on.
[00:28:05] Speaker E: Well, that's the address. The address. 16 is the address.
[00:28:09] Speaker C: Right. And. But the.
[00:28:11] Speaker E: The city is the city.
[00:28:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
Oh, come on. Wasn't that good enough?
[00:28:18] Speaker E: You're doing great.
All right, I'll give you a hint. You're doing so good.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: It's the.
[00:28:22] Speaker E: It's about the first line in the song.
[00:28:25] Speaker C: It was raining hard in. It was raining hard in Pittsburgh.
[00:28:30] Speaker B: Oh, is that right?
[00:28:32] Speaker C: No, no. It was raining hard in.
[00:28:34] Speaker E: In what?
[00:28:35] Speaker B: That's it.
[00:28:35] Speaker E: The next word is it.

[00:28:54] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Okay. Thank you.
[00:28:56] Speaker E: Oh, because that's how you have to get that question. You really have to sing the entire song in your own head.
[00:29:00] Speaker C: Training hard. Okay, okay, okay.
[00:29:03] Speaker B: And what was the other like?
[00:29:04] Speaker C: The Grateful Dead had a name before the Grateful Dead. Oh, boy.

The Mills Brothers or the Ink Spots, Something like that?

[00:29:23] Speaker C: Nope.
[00:29:23] Speaker E: Are we talking about. It's a sideline.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: No, I guess we don't know the answer.
[00:29:28] Speaker C: The original name was the Warlocks.

[00:29:55] Speaker E: And it was the big hit. Was some big hit.
[00:29:59] Speaker C: Was by David Bromberg.
No. Well, he did it. Okay, but who else had a big hit with it?
[00:30:07] Speaker B: A lot of people did it though.
[00:30:09] Speaker C: Davis Jr did it.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: Yes, he did it too. But there was one other version that seems to me was the big one.
[00:30:15] Speaker E: Yeah, the big, the big. The most famous.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:18] Speaker E: The definitive version of.

[00:30:40] Speaker E: Did you say Sammy Davis? Did he say Sammy Davis Jr. Well, I, I'll give you that. I didn't have that down here. But of course that's what one of his probably theme songs. But it wasn't a pop. Wasn't the pop head on the, on the charts. But I'll give you that.

[00:31:29] Speaker C: Rock.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Okay, why don't you ask this one then, if you would, Chad Ask you.
[00:31:33] Speaker C: Oh, great.
[00:31:33] Speaker B: Yeah, he will ask you one first. In the George Harrison song While My Guitar Gently Weeped, who was actually playing lead guitar?

[00:32:12] Speaker E: The Spencer Davis Group.
[00:32:14] Speaker C: That's correct.
[00:32:15] Speaker E: And the first.
I don't know what order it came in, but Give Me Some Loving was the. Was their big hit. I'm a man.
I don't know which order.
[00:32:27] Speaker C: That's fine. Those are both correct. Yeah.
[00:32:29] Speaker B: Great.
Hey, you're okay, Rick.
[00:32:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Hey, thanks a lot.

[00:32:35] Speaker B: No, no, let me get it.
[00:32:37] Speaker E: When we get it that that's the end of the quiz for you. But, yeah, next time.
[00:32:41] Speaker B: Yeah. If you stopped us, then we would ask you the final question.
[00:32:43] Speaker C: Oh, I see.
[00:32:44] Speaker B: And. But our sharp panel was ever on the job, and you did not stop them.
[00:32:49] Speaker C: What is Fabian's last name?
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Forte.
[00:32:52] Speaker C: Right.

[00:33:06] Speaker D: I'm actually from Roslindale.
[00:33:08] Speaker C: Don't ask me why I said Hyde Park. And I'm the one who had the bat in the Radic.
[00:33:12] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Okay.
The reason you said Hyde park instead of Roslindale is you're kind of ashamed to be on this program.
[00:33:20] Speaker D: No, because I used to live in Hyde Park.
[00:33:21] Speaker B: I had a wet bats on her belfry.
What's your category, Rock?
[00:33:26] Speaker C: Well, first of all, I want to.

[00:33:30] Speaker C: John and Phil.
[00:33:30] Speaker E: That's right.
[00:33:31] Speaker B: I was thinking Bob and Ray.
[00:33:34] Speaker C: You're right.
[00:33:35] Speaker E: Now you ask us a question, please.
[00:33:36] Speaker C: Okay.
Who should have been on the plane that killed. Who was originally scheduled to be on the plane that killed the Big Bopper?
[00:33:49] Speaker D: Richie Valens and Buddy Holly.

[00:34:16] Speaker C: That's.
[00:34:16] Speaker B: That's a great trivia question. Yeah, you've stumped us. Who was it?
[00:34:20] Speaker D: Waylon Jennings.
[00:34:22] Speaker B: Waylon.
[00:34:24] Speaker E: That was not the one I had in mind.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: But.
[00:34:26] Speaker E: But I. I can't think of the person. So, okay, so we give it to you reluctantly. How about that? Isn't that for being a good sport?
[00:34:34] Speaker B: We give it to you with our whole hearts. Not reluctantly at all. Okay, here's one final question for you then.
[00:34:40] Speaker C: Okay. Okay.
[00:34:41] Speaker E: Can you name Chuck Berry's only number one hit?
[00:34:48] Speaker C: Chuck Berry's only number one hit didn't Michael Jackson. Do it on Back to the Future there.
What the hell is the name of that song?
[00:35:04] Speaker B: I didn't know Michael Jackson was in that movie.
[00:35:06] Speaker D: I mean, Michael Fox.
[00:35:07] Speaker C: Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. He did it.
[00:35:13] Speaker B: Give you about five more seconds.
[00:35:15] Speaker C: I can't think of it.
[00:35:17] Speaker B: I'm sorry.
Okay, we'll put that question up for anybody else who wants to use that as their entry level question. And you're okay, Mary, thanks a lot for the call.

Who was the only female Beach Boy?
[00:36:01] Speaker D: Female beach boy?
Is this a joke?
[00:36:05] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. And nobody supports, far as we know, has had any operations.
[00:36:10] Speaker D: Oh, you know, you got to go back to my era, which is 1940.
[00:36:19] Speaker B: 1940. There wasn't any rock in 1940. It didn't start till the 50s. No, the 50s is about when it really began, around 52, 53.
[00:36:28] Speaker D: Oh, no.
[00:36:29] Speaker B: Yeah. No, really, really, Kitty.
[00:36:32] Speaker D: No, no.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: Yes, that's right. And. And really, Mary, there was no rock in the 40s. There really was not. There was no rock in the 40s, Mary. Do I have to?
[00:36:41] Speaker D: Well, we called it Jitterbug.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: That was not rock, Mary. But I appreciate the call. Thank you very much.
Let's go on to a rock and rock.
She surprised me.
Give her another one of those, too. I think she deserves two of them.
Thank you very much, Tony. This is a geology show. I know that there was rock in the. In the. Around 1880, and then it dropped out of sight for a while and came back around 1952.
Some of the early rock singers, of course, were Al Jolson and George Jessel, and I think Eddie Cantor dabbled in that and was one of the pioneers. But anyway, here's Sean and Lowell. Hi, Sean.
[00:37:20] Speaker C: Hi.
[00:37:21] Speaker B: How you doing?
[00:37:22] Speaker C: Good. I'd like to answer the Chuck Berry question.
All right. The.
[00:37:26] Speaker E: The question was named Chuck Berry's only.
[00:37:29] Speaker C: Number one hit, Would that be Johnny Be Good?
[00:37:33] Speaker E: I knew you were going to say that. But it's wrong.
[00:37:35] Speaker C: It's wrong.
[00:37:35] Speaker E: It's not his number one hit. It's his most popular.
[00:37:38] Speaker B: But it's not his child.
[00:37:40] Speaker E: He only had one number one. Yeah, that's why? It's an odd question. It's really. It's a curve ball. It's a real tough question.
But I mean, that's his biggest hit and that was the quest. That was the song that was done in Back to the Future by Michael J.
[00:37:51] Speaker C: Fox.
All right, thanks.
[00:37:53] Speaker B: Okay, thank you. Thank you, Sean. 2, 5, 4, 10:30 is. We go to Michael in Beverly. Hi, Michael.
[00:37:59] Speaker C: Hi.
[00:38:00] Speaker B: Hi.
[00:38:00] Speaker C: I have the answer to the Chuck Berry question.
[00:38:02] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:38:03] Speaker C: With all the great, great songs he did, interestingly enough, his only number one hit was My Ding a Ling.
[00:38:08] Speaker E: That's right. It's his worst song. But it's the only number one number one hit is that.
[00:38:13] Speaker C: It's a great commentary on our society.
[00:38:16] Speaker E: I can't believe it.
[00:38:17] Speaker C: All right, so here's my question for you. It's a two part question, okay?
The question is, who wrote the Beach Boys song Kokomo? And what was the only other number one song that he wrote?
[00:38:35] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:38:40] Speaker C: Well, I'm gonna.
[00:38:42] Speaker E: I can say Brian Adams.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: No, Jack.
[00:38:47] Speaker E: You know how we get a couple of guesses, you know?
[00:38:49] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:38:50] Speaker E: We just don't get that one guess.
[00:38:51] Speaker B: We don't get.
[00:38:52] Speaker C: We don't get. We don't.
[00:38:53] Speaker B: Hold on a minute, Michael. We don't get a couple of guesses. They missed it.
[00:38:56] Speaker C: All right.
[00:38:57] Speaker B: Okay, so now there's.
[00:38:58] Speaker C: The answer is Papa John Phillips wrote that song Mamas and the Papas.
So now that you know that it's Papa John Phillips, what was his only other number one?
[00:39:08] Speaker B: Well, you don't have to ask anymore. You already stumped them.
Now they're gonna ask you one final question, all right. For that certificate of award.
[00:39:15] Speaker C: Okay, okay.
[00:39:16] Speaker E: We're talking about Chuck Berry once again. What was his first hit? Not number one, but what was his first hit? There's breakthrough song, 1955, Chuck Berry's first hit.
[00:39:29] Speaker C: Well, I'm just gonna take a stab at it because I'm not really sure. How about sweet little 16?
[00:39:36] Speaker E: Sorry, that's not it.
[00:39:39] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Michael, what was it?
[00:39:41] Speaker C: Right. Oh, I don't have to jump.
[00:39:42] Speaker B: Yes, you hang in there because that somebody can use that as the opening question. Okay. Okay, thank you very, very much. We'll go to Ted in the natic High. Ted.
[00:39:51] Speaker C: Hey, Normie.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: Hey. Hey, babe.
[00:39:53] Speaker C: God, it's good to talk to you.
[00:39:54] Speaker B: Well, I'm glad it's good to talk to you, too.
[00:39:56] Speaker C: Hey, listen, Normie.
[00:39:58] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:40:06] Speaker B: Oh, you used to Put on the.
[00:40:07] Speaker C: Pet, as we used to say that back in the early 50s and late 40s.
And we'd listen to you on the radio.
[00:40:16] Speaker B: Oh, did you marry that girl?
[00:40:18] Speaker C: I married one of them.
Unfortunately, it didn't hang in. Oh.
[00:40:24] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry. Do you hate me for it?
[00:40:25] Speaker C: No, I don't, babe.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Because, you know, every now and then I'll meet somebody who'll introduce me to a woman. Or say we used to go parking. Say, I never heard Lars Edison before, but they say we used to go parking by the reservoir in Brighton or someplace. And with this girl, and as a result of the romantic music and some of the stuff you played. I married her.
[00:40:43] Speaker C: Kidding.
[00:40:44] Speaker B: I know it. And then he look at me like hatred. Like, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have married this ugly lady.
I hope things worked out better for you. But maybe not.
[00:40:55] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, they did.
[00:40:57] Speaker B: Okay. What category would you like there, Ted?
[00:41:00] Speaker C: Big bands.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: Big bands. Okay. Helen Forest sang with three top bands. Would you tell me? Name just two of them? Two of the top bands. Two out of three. I'm going to give you something easier.
[00:41:10] Speaker C: Oh, hell, that'd be great.
[00:41:12] Speaker B: Okay, two of the three top bands.
[00:41:14] Speaker C: Vinny Goodman.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's correct. That's one.
[00:41:18] Speaker C: And.
Are you kidding?
[00:41:21] Speaker B: No, no. She sang. She was one of the few to sang with Tommy Dorsey.
No, she did not sing with Tommy Dorsey.

[00:41:29] Speaker B: No, she did not. She sang with.
Let me see, She's. I won't tell you who she sang with, but Tommy Dorsey had Joe Stafford, of course, and Sinatra.
[00:41:39] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: And one other vocalist whose name slips my mind.
[00:41:44] Speaker C: He was right.
[00:41:45] Speaker B: Pardon me? He just write at one time. That's correct. That's right. That's right. But it was not Helen Forest. She did not sing with Tommy Dorsey.
[00:41:53] Speaker C: Oh, Helen Forest. I. I didn't hear that.
[00:41:56] Speaker B: No, I. You said Benny Goodman. You got that right. Yeah, she did, but she sang with two other bands. So. Anybody. All I have to do is name one of those other two bands. Anybody else who calls them, ask for the big bad stuff.
[00:42:07] Speaker C: Can I throw a question at you just for the hell of it?
[00:42:10] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:42:12] Speaker C: How about, remember, Tommy, Dorothy's you gotta eat your spinach, baby?

Howard and Concord. Hi, Howard.
[00:46:45] Speaker C: Hi, Norm. I, I really didn't want to play the game, but I think early in the beginning of the game you made a mistake. Uh, oh, I think you said that, that between. I think you said that when Henderson quit that Severinson took over.
But I believe there was another band leader in between.
[00:47:04] Speaker B: Oh, in between Skitz Henderson and the.
[00:47:06] Speaker C: Doc Savage by the name of Milton Delug.
[00:47:09] Speaker B: No, Milton Delug. Wait a minute. Let me see, let me see if I can put this.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: He was a funny looking bearded man.
[00:47:13] Speaker B: No, I remember him. He played accordion and he wrote Orange Colored Sky. But he was before then he conducted the group for Jerry Lester.
Remember that? And it was called.
It wasn't the Tonight Show.
[00:47:31] Speaker C: No, I'm pretty sure it was.
[00:47:33] Speaker B: No, Jack Parr. Jack Parr preceded Johnny Carson. And I think it was during that time that sketch Henderson played and before either one of them was on. And I mean that really goes back to the beginning of television in the very early 50s. It was Jerry Lester. Dagmar.
Milton Delud was the band leader. You're right.
But, but Skitch Henderson, I'm almost positive came after.
Well, came after Milton Deloitte.
[00:48:03] Speaker C: I, I guess I, I guess I can't argue with you then.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: Well, no, you can argue with me. And you May.
[00:48:08] Speaker C: Well, we don't have anything to prove it one way or the other, so.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: No, I'll have to look it up to make sure. You may be right. But I, I think you're. I think you're not.
[00:48:17] Speaker C: Well, I, I, I believe that. I, I just think that those long.
How long has Severinson been with.
[00:48:24] Speaker B: Oh, he's been with. He was with the Johnny Carson show for a lot of years.
A lot of years. And I do believe it was. I'll have to look it up. You may very well be right. Let me explain.
[00:48:36] Speaker C: Well, back in the days when it was an hour and 45 minutes, I think he was the band leader then.
[00:48:43] Speaker B: You're talking about Milton Deloitte?
[00:48:44] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:48:45] Speaker B: Yes. You know, I think he goes back before Skitch Henderson, who was married to Faye Emerson. I throw in little things like that to divert you.
Let me check it out. Maybe you're right, but we'll check it out, just to be sure.
[00:48:57] Speaker C: All right.
[00:48:57] Speaker B: Hey, thanks for the call.
[00:48:59] Speaker C: Have a good night.
[00:48:59] Speaker B: You too.
[00:49:00] Speaker C: Bye.
[00:49:00] Speaker B: Bye. Bye.
[00:49:01] Speaker C: Now.
[00:49:01] Speaker B: I don't. Actually tell you the truth. I don't know where we can check that out.
Maybe somebody listening remembers that. But it seems to me it was Howard Delugan Delug with Jerry Lester, who had a program.
What was that? No, what was that called?
I can't. I just can't remember the. But anyway, Milton Deluge was part of that. Then came Skitch Henderson, and then when Jack Parr was on, and then all that kind of stuff. Anyway, let's go to Dennis in Framingham. Hi, Dennis.
[00:49:31] Speaker C: How you doing, Noel? Hey.
[00:49:33] Speaker B: I'm doing so fantastically well. I think we have another award winning program tonight, don't you?
[00:49:37] Speaker C: I do. My kids still make fun of me when I say hey, man. When they. They get me mad. Go. Hey, man. I guess they haven't got rid of it.
[00:49:44] Speaker B: I had a question on rock.
[00:49:46] Speaker C: I'm gonna take one on rock. I'm sure you guys will knock me out quick.
[00:49:49] Speaker B: Okay. Well, don't be so sure. You sound like a pretty sharp guy.
[00:49:53] Speaker C: You never know.
[00:49:54] Speaker B: Yeah, you are. Hey, man. You are.
[00:49:56] Speaker C: Go ahead.
[00:49:57] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:49:57] Speaker C: Here you go. Ready? Yes, sir.
[00:49:59] Speaker E: The Grateful Dead fans are called Deadheads. Who are the Parrot Heads devoted to?
[00:50:05] Speaker C: The Parrot Heads.
That was in a record company, I imagine, with the parrot on it.
I guess that's gonna be beyond me.
It's on the tip of my tongue, but I don't want to pretend. Let me see here.
My time must have run out.
[00:50:29] Speaker B: It has. You're such a nice man. I was stretching it a little bit.
[00:50:33] Speaker C: No, I was. I just really can't think of that one.
[00:50:36] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, thanks very much for calling, Dennis. Good to talk with you.
[00:50:39] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:50:39] Speaker B: Okay, man.
Take care.
[00:50:41] Speaker E: He sounded really smart. I'm glad. He's not asking us a question.
[00:50:45] Speaker B: I know it. Hey, it's Joe the baker, who I saw at the farm stand a few weeks ago. Joe, you don't look like a JoJo. Works for Dunkin Donuts. And you don't look at all like a crawler.
Only he's sort of built like a Crawley, tall and thin.
[00:51:03] Speaker C: I. I get everybody full, Norm.
[00:51:05] Speaker B: Okay?
[00:51:06] Speaker C: And. And believe me, my boss doesn't think I look like a baker either.
[00:51:12] Speaker B: No, I didn't say. I didn't say you didn't look like a baker.
I said you didn't look like a crawler or something.
Anyway, what's your category?
[00:51:20] Speaker C: A rock.
[00:51:21] Speaker B: Okay, we have a new addition here. In addition to Ed Mullen and Jack Hart, we have Darryl Gould. The WBC ace newsman is sitting one of the.
[00:51:31] Speaker C: The past. Question. Sure. I. If I get it wrong, can I have another one?
[00:51:37] Speaker B: I wish I could do that for you, but I really can't, and I resent your bringing that up. And there'll be Westinghouse people at your house within an hour, so watch it.
[00:51:46] Speaker C: I'd love. I. It's just out of curiosity. I'd love to take a shot at the question.
Who was a woman? Reach boy?
[00:51:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:53] Speaker C: Was that Jack High?
[00:51:54] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:51:55] Speaker C: Jack hot.
[00:51:56] Speaker B: Hey, how are you doing? Hey, how are you?
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Was. Was that woman married to a beach boy twice?
[00:52:03] Speaker B: She was married to someone who was a beach boy for a time.
[00:52:08] Speaker C: Was it twice?
[00:52:10] Speaker B: Maybe. I'm not sure.
At least once.
[00:52:13] Speaker C: Yeah. All right. I want a new question then.
All right.
[00:52:18] Speaker B: Do one quickly because that you kind of under any other person who is less fair and philanthropic than I am, you would have just outdone yourself there. But hit another one quick. You want a fresh question?
[00:52:30] Speaker C: Yeah.
Be gentle on me.
[00:52:32] Speaker B: Okay? Ed Mullen is not gentle. He's a very cruel person. But I've asked him to go slow a little bit.
[00:52:38] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:52:39] Speaker E: Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. It was a big, big hit for BJ Thomas.
It was a hit from a big, big movie. What was the name of that big movie?
[00:52:49] Speaker C: Oh, boy, I have no idea.
Oh, that.
[00:52:52] Speaker B: That had. That was a great. Robert Redford was in that movie.
Even Norm and I know that. Even.
[00:52:58] Speaker C: That's easy.
[00:53:00] Speaker B: Even I know that. For heaven's sakes.
[00:53:02] Speaker C: I was gonna jack Was it wasn't Karen Lamb, was it? No, no. She was married twice to Brian Wilson. Dennis Wilson?
Yeah.
[00:53:11] Speaker B: No, no, it wasn't. Wasn't her.
[00:53:13] Speaker C: Can I give you one quick. Just. Then I'll get well, just.
[00:53:15] Speaker B: Just for fun. You can? Yeah.
[00:53:17] Speaker C: Okay, let me see. What did Brian Wilson steal from his father and bring to show and tell in school and cause his father not to go to work that day?
[00:53:28] Speaker B: His mother's aunt Lingerie.
I just made that up.
[00:53:34] Speaker C: His car?
No, his glass eye.
[00:53:39] Speaker B: His father's. His father's glass eye.
[00:53:42] Speaker C: Correct. Yeah.
[00:53:43] Speaker B: Was that an interesting show and tell?
And when he saw his father coming into the school angry, he ran into the crowd. Someone said, what are you doing? I said, I'll keep my eye out for my son.
[00:53:55] Speaker C: Well, he had fun, fun, fun. Until his daddy took the eyeball away.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: Hey, Joe, thanks for raising this entire quiz.
[00:54:07] Speaker C: I thought. I thought I'd lower it a little bit. Okay.
[00:54:09] Speaker B: Hey, thanks for the call.
[00:54:10] Speaker C: Bye.
[00:54:11] Speaker B: Bye, bye, bye. Now here's a Tom in Swanskin. Hi, Tom.
[00:54:14] Speaker C: Hi there.
[00:54:15] Speaker B: Hi.
[00:54:15] Speaker C: Can I play different.
Can I answer two of your questions and have you answer one of mine?
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Well, you can ask one of our questions. Sure.
[00:54:25] Speaker C: And then have you answered?
[00:54:26] Speaker B: Well, you. You only need to answer one. But if you want to answer two. Okay, I don't see any reason why not.
[00:54:31] Speaker C: Well, Maybelline was Chuck Berry's first hit.
[00:54:34] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:54:35] Speaker C: And Tony Tenille was the only girl. Beach Boy.
[00:54:37] Speaker B: There you go. Oh, son of a man. Very, very good. Okay, now these guys are going to ask you a question that was very good.
[00:54:44] Speaker C: What was Chuck Berry's second hit?
Chuck Berries.
Oh, I thought you can ask your question first.
[00:54:55] Speaker B: No, no, you. Oh, that's right, you do ask us first.
[00:54:58] Speaker C: No, no, we ask you 72. Then you ask us one.
[00:55:01] Speaker B: No, no, he already answered a question that was on the board, See, otherwise we would have asked him one. Now, he asked.
[00:55:08] Speaker C: I just got here.
Certainly you can understand my mistake.
[00:55:13] Speaker B: We just have them jump down there. I got a question. You can understand why. Well, Darryl Gould here, you can understand why people seem to be really upset about the media.
[00:55:23] Speaker C: My question is yes, and it's two part. Who were the Four Seasons before they were the Four Seasons?
And what was the one album they made? Is that group.
[00:55:35] Speaker B: Wayward Wins?
The Wayward Wins.
[00:55:38] Speaker C: Is that.
[00:55:38] Speaker B: No, no, that was a joke.
No, no. Flip answers you. Because if you say something as a joke, we'll take that. And that's. So we missed that one because Jack said the wayward wins. And it was not the wayward wins.
[00:55:51] Speaker C: There were the Four Lovers and their first album was Hayright.
[00:55:55] Speaker B: Okay, okay, now we ask you one final question.
[00:55:59] Speaker C: If you answered my two questions, but go ahead.
[00:56:01] Speaker B: No, no, that, no, they, they did not. That means you get onto the third question which we ask you. And if you, you get the answer to this, you get a certificate of award.
[00:56:11] Speaker C: He asked me, Johnny.
Second.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: I don't know what you're saying, but hold on a minute. They're going to ask you a question.
[00:56:18] Speaker C: All right, well, do you want to ask him what was Chuck Berry's second hit? 30 days. You're right. Wow. Wow.
[00:56:26] Speaker E: Okay, we have a winner.
[00:56:28] Speaker B: Okay, we have a winner in, in, in Tom from Swimescape. Hold on. Here's Tony with the information and we'll send him a certificate award, which I imagine he'll. He'll probably paste in his tear stained scrapbook of memory. Or maybe just get a frame and hang it up on the wall.
[00:56:45] Speaker C: Or maybe perfect his paper airplane technique.
[00:56:48] Speaker B: He might do that. Or he may just burn it.
Something of that nation. Go to Mike in Dorchester. Hi, Mike.
[00:56:54] Speaker C: Hi there.
[00:56:55] Speaker B: Hi there, Mike.
[00:56:56] Speaker D: I would like to take a stab.
[00:56:57] Speaker C: At the BB King question.
[00:56:59] Speaker B: Go right ahead.
[00:57:00] Speaker E: What the question was, what does the BB stand for? And BB King.
[00:57:04] Speaker C: Blues Boy.
[00:57:05] Speaker B: That's right, Blues Boy. I didn't even know. I'm a big BB King fan. I didn't know that. What's the name of his guitar? It's Lucille. I just asked the question of myself.
Okay, ask us something if you would, please, Mike.
[00:57:18] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:57:18] Speaker D: Mather and the Vandals, you know, the.
[00:57:21] Speaker C: Famous people that came up with the song Paint Wave, Dancing in the streets, et cetera, et cetera. What was their first top 40 hit?
[00:57:31] Speaker E: We're going to discuss this on the air before we send out an answer.
[00:57:35] Speaker B: Quicksand, Martha and the Vandells. Vandellas. Vandellas. And what was the first, first big hit? I guess the question.
[00:57:43] Speaker C: No, their first top 40 hit.
[00:57:45] Speaker B: First top 40 hit. Okay, you guys know, trying to think.
[00:57:50] Speaker E: What do you think? Quicksand.
[00:57:52] Speaker C: You know, that's a good trivia question.
[00:57:54] Speaker B: When he gives the answer, we'll say. Oh yeah, we'll say.
[00:57:59] Speaker E: We'll say Quicksand.
[00:58:01] Speaker D: No, that was their third.
[00:58:02] Speaker B: Oh, what was their first?
[00:58:04] Speaker C: Their first one was called Come and Get these Memories.
[00:58:08] Speaker B: Oh yeah, you're not saying. Oh yeah, you're not saying that it.
[00:58:13] Speaker C: Made it to number 39 and a half.
Actually.
[00:58:16] Speaker D: Number 29.
[00:58:18] Speaker B: Okay, here's the final question for you then. And this is for the certificate of a wound. No, you'll do fine. I can just sense that you're going to get this one. All right. Okay, who wants to ask this one? You want to ask this one? Daryl or Jack or Ed?
[00:58:32] Speaker C: Jack.
[00:58:33] Speaker E: You got one there?
[00:58:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Matter of fact, go ahead, Jack. Let me see. Who was the. The. The famous rocket? Well, he had a novelty hit from Somerville.
[00:58:44] Speaker C: From Somerville, Massachusetts.
[00:58:46] Speaker B: Somerville, Massachusetts, in the 50s. It's a perennial favorite, an everlastingly popular hit tune of yesteryear. And today, one that has rightly earned its niche. Absolutely. In the Musical hall of Fame. An everlastingly popular evergreen. No, I don't think that's the one. That's not the one.
[00:59:03] Speaker D: The person still famous these days.
[00:59:06] Speaker B: Well, the song is. Every. Every year around this time, as a matter of fact, a lot of people toss their money into jukeboxes clear across this country in order to play this perennial hit. Absolutely yesteryear. And today, every Halloween deals with the.
[00:59:19] Speaker C: Kiss by Brian Hellman.
[00:59:21] Speaker D: Maybe.
[00:59:22] Speaker C: No, no, no.
[00:59:23] Speaker B: Oh, well, no, it's a novelty hit.
[00:59:26] Speaker C: Oh, well, I tried.
[00:59:28] Speaker B: You did try, Mike, and you came through.
[00:59:30] Speaker C: Well.
[00:59:30] Speaker B: And you have nothing to be ashamed for.
[00:59:32] Speaker C: All right.
[00:59:33] Speaker B: Meanwhile, get out of here.
[00:59:34] Speaker C: All right, well, have a good night.
[00:59:35] Speaker B: No, thanks a lot for the call, Mike. Take care. Bye.
[00:59:38] Speaker D: Bye.
[00:59:39] Speaker B: Okay, let's see. 2, 5, 4, 10, 30. We go to Bill, who's out on Long Island. Long Island, New York. Hi, Bill.
[00:59:46] Speaker C: How you doing?
[00:59:46] Speaker B: Hey. Pretty good, thanks. What's your category?
[00:59:49] Speaker C: Old rock and roll.
[00:59:50] Speaker B: Old rock and roll? Well, we have rock and roll, generally. Who wants to ask an old rock and roll question? Daryl, did you want to?
[00:59:57] Speaker C: Oh, is he going to answer one first that's out there, or does he want one?
[01:00:00] Speaker B: No, he wants one. You want one?
[01:00:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. With little bucks and sauerkraut.
By the way, has Danielle started being felt on Long island yet?
Well, I'm out here in Westbury and I'm on the North Shore, and the trees are just blowing a little bit, and that's about it. Yeah. Getting a lot of rain? No, nothing. Nothing at all.
They blew this out of proportion.
[01:00:26] Speaker B: Yeah, Tony Nesbit's getting excited. Heard you heard that. Heard that. Daryl says, is Danielle being felt on Long Island?
[01:00:35] Speaker C: Well, I wouldn't tell you that. It's not on the radio.
Well, I wouldn't ask you that on the radio. Now that I think of it, he.
[01:00:43] Speaker B: Met Danielle Gorelnik, who's a sister of Marilyn, who lives out there at East Hampton, I believe. Okay.
[01:00:49] Speaker C: I've got an Old time rock and roll question for you. The Coasters, before they became the Coasters, had a. A pretty good sized rock and roll hit under a different name.
[01:01:05] Speaker B: They weren't the Coasters then.
[01:01:07] Speaker C: Can you tell me either what was their name or what was that hit?
[01:01:14] Speaker B: Wasn't the Fred Waring Glee Club, was it?
[01:01:17] Speaker C: Oh, gee, Norm, you've.
[01:01:19] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I probably came close, but does that.
[01:01:21] Speaker C: Get back a little too far for you? I mean, a little bit? Want to go back further?
[01:01:25] Speaker B: No, no, you already asked the question.
[01:01:27] Speaker C: But it's an easier question.
[01:01:29] Speaker B: No, no, this is. You already asked the question. See, the rules are very strict here. Oh, gee, thanks a lot.
[01:01:37] Speaker C: I gave you the weather report.
[01:01:39] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Bill. I know it.
[01:01:41] Speaker C: He did. I, I thank for that. We could give him another question.
[01:01:43] Speaker B: I feel like one of these prissy people who says, no, we, we got rules here. I don't make the rules, I just have to enforce them.
[01:01:51] Speaker C: Because I'd like to hear him ask us an old time rock and roll question.
[01:01:55] Speaker B: Well, I know that, but you see, but there are specific.
[01:01:58] Speaker C: I have two. Two easy.
[01:02:00] Speaker B: Okay. You want to ask him another question?
[01:02:02] Speaker C: Sure, I'll throw one at you.
[01:02:03] Speaker B: All right, go ahead.
[01:02:04] Speaker C: Because that, that one was probably pretty tough.
[01:02:06] Speaker B: What the heck? This is not a real game anyway. The original lead singer for the Drifters.
[01:02:12] Speaker C: Oh, who later went out on his own, as many of the Drifters lead singers did.
No, he was a later lead singer.
[01:02:24] Speaker B: How about Hermie Barenboim?
[01:02:28] Speaker C: I'm surprised because, you know, if you like old time rock and roll, that one was really. You know, it's always like, I'll hang up and I'll remember.
[01:02:35] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Ask us what you had in mind anyway, just for fun.
[01:02:39] Speaker C: You remember the song Gloria?
[01:02:41] Speaker E: There's a lot of different songs, Gloria. Which one are you talking about?
[01:02:43] Speaker C: Well, the old rock and roll Gloria.
[01:02:46] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:02:46] Speaker E: The one written by Van Marsten in the group Them is that.
[01:02:50] Speaker C: No, no, no. Old rock and roll. I forget about that one. The Passions. Remember the group called Passions? Yeah. Okay, go ahead. What were their two sided hit?
They also made Gloria, but they had a two sided hit.
[01:03:03] Speaker E: My True Love or something. My true Story. Something like that.
[01:03:06] Speaker C: No. Okay.
[01:03:07] Speaker B: A melancholy baby and God bless America.
Now what was. What's the answer?
[01:03:14] Speaker C: This is my love and I only want you.
[01:03:18] Speaker B: Okay.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All right.
[01:03:23] Speaker C: This is my love.
Normally everybody calls it sweeter than.
[01:03:27] Speaker B: Okay, thanks very much, Bill.
[01:03:29] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:03:29] Speaker B: And batting down the hatches.
[01:03:31] Speaker C: I will.
[01:03:31] Speaker B: Okay, bye.
[01:03:32] Speaker C: Bye. Take care.
[01:03:33] Speaker B: Bill's On Long island. And say hello to Danielle. That's right, Danielle, the tri. Is it Tropical storm Daryl or.
[01:03:40] Speaker C: Yes.
Although right now it may be just a tropical. It's what going to bring us the rain this weekend. Oh, and didn't I ask if they were feeling the effects of Danielle?
[01:03:57] Speaker B: If Danielle was being felt up on Long Island, I liked it. That's the name of an old rock.
[01:04:03] Speaker C: And roll song, as I recall.
[01:04:07] Speaker B: Okay, this is the. What we're going to do is take a break for it while I read the headlines. And if you don't look at me, Darryl, because I'm always embarrassed when I read.
[01:04:14] Speaker C: Will they include what the effects are on Long island of Danielle?
[01:04:18] Speaker B: Hold on a minute.
No.
[01:04:20] Speaker C: Those are the local headlines.
[01:04:22] Speaker B: And for all you folks, we'll get back to the dumb quiz show in just a quiz game, the music quiz, in just a minute. But a lot of people said. Norm, you know what I like best of all? When you're on during the night. I mean, I know I like the jokes and I like the dumb birthday game and the music quizzes and all the swell things, but I especially like when that man talks about his ugly rash. Okay, this is the dumb musical quiz. My name is Norm Nathan. I'm America's Singing and Dancing sweetheart, as you well know. And we have Ed Mullen as our panel on our panel, as well as Darrell Gould, WBZA newsman and musicologist. And we also have the very exciting and lovely.
Are you there, Jack Hart. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, our traffic reporters. Jack Cart is with us. And a whole board full of people who like to ask questions. And of course, the categories again are Rock and Roll, Big Band and jazz. Just when you call, just ask for the category you'd like. Or just you can pick a question that has been unanswered up to this point and start off that way. Let's start with Beth, who's out in Michigan. Hi, Pat. Beth.
[01:05:32] Speaker C: Beth.
[01:05:32] Speaker D: Beth.
[01:05:32] Speaker B: Beth. Beth.
[01:05:33] Speaker D: First of all, Norm.
[01:05:35] Speaker B: Yes?
[01:05:35] Speaker D: I have a proposition for you.
[01:05:38] Speaker B: I'll take it. I'll take it.
[01:05:40] Speaker D: You win the Massachusetts 8 million, I'll win the 12 million here tomorrow night, and we'll run away together.
[01:05:48] Speaker B: Oh, okay, that's good. What if we don't win, though, to win the lottery? Do we still run away or.
[01:05:52] Speaker D: Why not? Why not?
[01:05:54] Speaker B: Oh, just walk away a few feet.
Okay.
[01:05:58] Speaker D: I want to be sure you sleep tomorrow.
The name of the show that you're trying to think of is Broadway Open House with Jerry Lester.
[01:06:06] Speaker B: That's right. Broadway Open House. Jerry Lester. Dagmar. And that was. Now, did that precede. Did Milton Deluge precede? Skip Henderson didn't.
[01:06:16] Speaker D: See, I don't remember. He was on the Broadway Open House, but I don't remember about the Tonight Show. Milton Delegre, he was on with. When Jack Parr was on, I thought.
[01:06:26] Speaker B: Skitch Henderson, I think he was. So what I'm saying is, I think a fellow who said Milton Deluge came in between Skitch Henderson and Doc Severinson, I think was wrong. I think it was the other way around.
[01:06:38] Speaker D: And Helen Forrest, didn't she sing with Harry James?
[01:06:41] Speaker B: Yes, she did. That's good.
And the other fellow who called, I asked for two out of the three top bands she sang with. The other fellow said, Benny Goodman. And so you answered the second one. Harry James.
[01:06:53] Speaker D: Harry James.
[01:06:54] Speaker B: You don't need to know this, but you remember the third big band she sang?
[01:06:57] Speaker D: No, I was trying. I was trying to.
I can't think of it.
[01:07:02] Speaker B: Hardy Shaw.
Oh, imagine one.
[01:07:05] Speaker D: I would never. Would never. So you asked about the raindrops too.
[01:07:11] Speaker B: Well, yeah, that was. But you've already.
[01:07:13] Speaker D: You've already answered that. Yeah, but I just want to refine.
[01:07:16] Speaker B: You don't need to answer that. No, we'll save that for somebody else.
[01:07:19] Speaker D: Oh, I know that one, too.
[01:07:21] Speaker B: Okay. And what we're gonna ask from you now is, did you pick the big band category?
[01:07:26] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:07:27] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:07:27] Speaker D: When you ask all those answers, now I gotta think of something else.
[01:07:31] Speaker B: Now you gotta ask us a question. Okay.
[01:07:34] Speaker D: Something real easy, like what's my name? Or something.
[01:07:36] Speaker B: Well, anything you would like. What. What. What question would. What. What would you like to ask us?
[01:07:42] Speaker D: Well, you're going to ask me something.
[01:07:43] Speaker B: No, no, I'm gonna. No, we already. You already answered the question. Now you ask us. And then if you. And then if we miss this one, we ask you another one.
[01:07:50] Speaker D: Oh, you won't miss it.
[01:07:52] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:07:53] Speaker D: Which orchestra has no piano?
[01:07:57] Speaker B: Which orchestra has no piano?
[01:07:59] Speaker D: I have no piano.
[01:08:01] Speaker B: No piano. You talk funny in Michigan. This is one of the big bands.
[01:08:05] Speaker D: Yep.
[01:08:07] Speaker B: And it has no piano. I don't know who that is. Do you know Darrell?
Darrell's looking like he knows. Do you know?
[01:08:16] Speaker C: Well, except Red nickels and the five pennies, I was going to say, but that's not a big band.
[01:08:21] Speaker B: No. You're talking about a big band, I would assume.
[01:08:23] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:08:24] Speaker B: I mean, there's a lot of small groups that did not have pianos, obviously. No, I don't know. Who would that be?
[01:08:30] Speaker D: Les and Larry Elgart.
They didn't have a piano lesson Larry Elgart.
Les doesn't have one. I think he still plays. One of them still plays. They have no piano.
[01:08:41] Speaker B: No piano in that orchestra.
[01:08:44] Speaker D: I guess they don't like it. You can't. Wouldn't be able to hear the brass. I guess if they had that.
[01:08:48] Speaker B: If they had a piano, you wouldn't be able to hear the brass.
It depends on where they place the.
[01:08:53] Speaker D: Microphone to hear the piano anyway. With all that brass.
[01:08:57] Speaker B: Well, no, I know. Yeah, that's right. No, I don't know. Okay, you got me on that one. That means I asked you one final question.
[01:09:03] Speaker D: Oh, darn.
[01:09:04] Speaker B: Okay. And if you get this one.
[01:09:05] Speaker D: I won't.
[01:09:06] Speaker B: You went. Oh, will you stop being so negative? You win the certificate of award. Okay. If you. If you win this one. And the certificate award, of course, is terribly treasured document.
[01:09:17] Speaker D: I know it. I have a special gold frame for it. Go ahead.
[01:09:22] Speaker B: Okay.
Okay. What was the name of the band?
Wait a minute. No, I'm not going to ask you that one. I'm going to ask you another one.
The Gene Krupa. What was the name of his theme song?
[01:09:34] Speaker C: Oh, gee, that wasn't it.
Jeez.
[01:09:39] Speaker B: Is very close now. The name of Gene Krupa.
I tell you what. Tell me either Gene Krupa's theme song or either one of the two Benny Goodman theme songs.
[01:09:50] Speaker D: Oh, that left Dance and.
And then he had a closing one.
[01:09:55] Speaker B: That's right. Remember the closing one? You don't need to know that, but I'm just curious as to whether you do.
[01:10:01] Speaker D: No, it was.
[01:10:02] Speaker B: It was called Goodbye.
[01:10:03] Speaker D: A goodbye. That's what I said. It had goodbye in it.
[01:10:06] Speaker B: Yeah. And Gene Krupa's was Starburst.
You remember that? You don't remember that?
[01:10:11] Speaker D: No, but if I heard it, I'd know. I'd know whose man it was.
[01:10:13] Speaker B: Okay. Want me to hum it for you?
[01:10:15] Speaker D: Oh, go ahead.
[01:10:17] Speaker B: I can't comment for you. Hey. Okay, you win.
[01:10:20] Speaker D: Oh, goody.
[01:10:22] Speaker B: Okay, that's very good. You win a certificate of award. Where Michigan are you, by the way?

[01:10:28] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. You're in Muskegon, Michigan.
[01:10:30] Speaker D: Yeah.

[01:10:46] Speaker D: Fine, thanks.
[01:10:47] Speaker B: Good.
[01:10:47] Speaker D: A lady from Michigan just took my thunder right out from under me with Milton To Logan, Helen Forest.
Okay, I was going to give you that information.
[01:10:56] Speaker B: Okay, see. What category would you like?
Big bands. You like a question on big bands? Okay.
This man organized his band while he was still in college and he called it the Duke Band Blue Devils. In recent years, he's been pretty much the houseman with Bob Hope. Has toured with him overseas in army bases and all that.
Who we talking about?
[01:11:20] Speaker D: Les Brown.
[01:11:21] Speaker B: Yes. Les Brown is exactly right. Very good. Okay, now you ask us a question, if you would.
[01:11:27] Speaker D: All right.
The King sisters.
[01:11:30] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:11:31] Speaker D: Five. The first names of five of the King.
[01:11:34] Speaker B: The first names that I'm to going. King sisters. Were there five?
There were six.
I really could do that. I know. There was Yvonne King.
There was Zelda, Larry, Larry, Mo, Curly and Bud Abbott. And Lou Castello. No, I. I don't, I really don't know. Do you know the names of all five?
[01:11:58] Speaker D: Donna, Louise, Marilyn.
[01:12:03] Speaker B: Okay, now I would never have known that. And which one was married to Elvino? Ray Louise was.
[01:12:09] Speaker D: Yes.
[01:12:09] Speaker B: Okay. He was the man with the singing guitar.
[01:12:12] Speaker D: Right.
[01:12:12] Speaker B: Okay, I missed that totally. I missed that totally. So I'll give you one final question.
And if you get this one, then you win the big certificate of award.
[01:12:21] Speaker C: Oh, terrific.
[01:12:24] Speaker D: Can't wait.
[01:12:25] Speaker B: Okay, here's, here's. Here's a question. The featured instrument, all these, all these band leaders played. Played this instrument. Ray McKinley, Louis Belson and Chick Webb. What was the instrument?
[01:12:36] Speaker D: Drums.
[01:12:37] Speaker B: Drums is right. Hey, very good. Wow, Golly, Mary, you're something again. I'll tell you, you are something. You are something again.
[01:12:45] Speaker D: I couldn't get through the weekend nights without listening to you.
[01:12:49] Speaker B: Oh, that's really nice. I appreciate that. Here's Tony now. He's going to take your name and address. We'll get the certificate out to you.
Thank you very much. I know the certificate is not maybe one of the most treasured kind of gifts. I mean, if you had to decide between that and like a 50 cent piece, you might choose the money. But it's kind of fun. It's just a token. Also, I think it's more fun to play the game whether you win anything or not.
Rick is on the line with us from Boston. Hi, Rick.
[01:13:15] Speaker C: Hi.
[01:13:16] Speaker B: Good morning. Good morning.

[01:13:24] Speaker C: From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kit. You are right. All right. Yes. The only one I knew all night.
[01:13:31] Speaker B: Okay, let ask a question of the panel, if you would now, please.
[01:13:34] Speaker C: Okay. In the 80s there was one album that was the best selling soundtrack album two years in a row.
[01:13:43] Speaker B: The 80s.
Is that the only album album that was best selling two years in a row?
[01:13:48] Speaker C: Right.
[01:13:49] Speaker B: The only one by the same group two years in a row. Oh, I'm sorry. The same soundtrack? Same album, same movie soundtrack two years in a row.
[01:13:57] Speaker E: Let's discuss this before we give an answer, as usual, because we have a committee, you know.

[01:16:09] Speaker D: Good, how are you?
[01:16:10] Speaker B: Okay. Fine, thank you. You would want a rock and roll question, I would assume. I can't imagine asking an old fashioned big band thing. Is that correct? Did you want to answer a question that's already been asked and not answered, or do you Want a new question?
[01:16:25] Speaker D: A new question?
[01:16:26] Speaker B: New question. How about Jack or Darrell? Jack, do you have a question? Or Darrell, does that mean no? Well, it depends. Yeah, I've got a question.

The only record made by the Beach Boys. There was a country.
The only Beach Boy. The only Beach Boy that. There's a group of Beach Boys that traded off when Brian Wilson was in and out of the band. And there was one who became later a country and western singer with lots o hits. Lots o hits.
[01:17:05] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:17:08] Speaker B: Would you know the answer to that, Debbie?
[01:17:10] Speaker D: I have no idea.
[01:17:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't either. If that makes us kind of kinfolk, doesn't it?
[01:17:15] Speaker E: I'm gonna jump in there, too. Jack, I have no idea.
[01:17:19] Speaker B: Did you just make that up? Are you gonna make up a name like Sidney Farberstein or somebody like that that nobody's ever heard of? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Very well known musician, former studio cat who went on to do lots and lots of things and stole a couple of people's wives, I think. Or was that the other guy? That was Garth Brooks.
[01:17:39] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[01:17:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I made that up just to show you. I know, Garth. I'm sorry, Debbie. That was a tough question.
[01:17:47] Speaker D: It was.

[01:18:26] Speaker E: Just one.
[01:18:27] Speaker C: Okay.
Oh, I hope I'm right. Well, I know the one about the pina colada, but I'll try the other one. You were talking about a regional.
A regional guy that had a hit.

Conducted not only the Totem Pole Band, but that's ancient history. The fact is, he conducts a band now. That's very, very good. Somebody was asking. In fact, Ed Mullen here was. Was asking.
Somebody had asked him. Or was that asking? Tony, that was you. You know, where they could catch the band. And. And we were saying. At Romies.

[01:22:08] Speaker C: It just was popping. It was really good.
[01:22:10] Speaker B: It's been popping a lot. Every time that we've been out there to watch it. I would have liked to have been there, except Ed and I were giving one of our fabled speeches on Old Time Radio down in Taunton, and I just couldn't get back in time.
[01:22:22] Speaker C: I'd like to catch that sometime. I hear it's very, very interesting.
[01:22:24] Speaker B: It's so fascinating. Really, you would just be thrilled by it.
[01:22:29] Speaker C: I'm serious. I'd love it.
[01:22:30] Speaker B: Okay. I'll keep you in touch with. When we start getting. Wait. Wait a minute.

Oh, yes. So now you get to ask Ernabel. Well, now you ask us a question. Isn't that the way it works?
[01:22:52] Speaker B: Oh, that's right, too, because you just answered one. And now I have just rolled up.
[01:22:56] Speaker C: One of these fancy certificates, Bob, and find it makes a great band leader's baton.
[01:23:02] Speaker B: I'm waving it at Ed right now. Okay. What now?
Would your question, by any means, by any chance, be your category, be a big band category?
[01:23:10] Speaker C: You might be right.
[01:23:11] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:23:12] Speaker C: But I don't have one.
[01:23:14] Speaker B: No, no, But. But you just answered a question. I'm gonna ask you one.
[01:23:17] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:23:17] Speaker B: No, wait a minute. That isn't the way it works.
[01:23:19] Speaker C: No, no, he asked.
[01:23:20] Speaker B: That's right. You asked us one. That's right. Okay. Oh, see if you can think of one and give me a real tough one so that I fail and then you can go on and win the certificate.
[01:23:32] Speaker C: Do you remember the name of the vocalist with the Kay Kaiser band?
[01:23:35] Speaker B: Well, he had a whole bunch of them. Harry Babbitt.
[01:23:38] Speaker C: He skirt the female.
[01:23:40] Speaker B: Yes. Jenny Sims.
[01:23:42] Speaker C: No, after Ginny. Sims? The one he married.
[01:23:45] Speaker B: Didn't he marry Jenny Sims?
[01:23:47] Speaker C: No.
[01:23:47] Speaker B: Oh, no. Let me see her.
[01:23:49] Speaker C: Successor.
[01:23:50] Speaker B: Jenny Sims. Successor with the Kay Kaiser Band.
It certainly wasn't Ishka Bibble. I know that.
[01:23:58] Speaker C: He was too young for him.
[01:24:00] Speaker B: No, I know that. I bumped into Harry Babbitt not long ago. He was doing cruise ship stuff.
He lives around here somewhere. Brookline, I think.
[01:24:08] Speaker C: I didn't know that.
[01:24:09] Speaker B: Yeah, he's in this area and I think he still kind of looks upon himself as that good looking young guy that he was back in the 40s.
[01:24:17] Speaker C: A good looking Sonny Mason.
[01:24:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true. I can't think of who that was.
[01:24:22] Speaker C: I might be wrong. I thought her name was Barbara Carroll. But listen, I can't think.
[01:24:28] Speaker B: I think he married Ginny Sims. But since there seems to be some question about that, let me ask you a question. And if you get this one, then we send you a certificate of war. Or maybe next time you're at the Romies, which would be. That's right. Which would be a week. A week from next Wednesday.
[01:24:44] Speaker C: That's right.
[01:24:45] Speaker B: I'll bring it by.
[01:24:45] Speaker C: All right.
[01:24:46] Speaker B: Okay, here's. Here's a question. Let me see. Let me get you. Let me get you some.
I'm not trying to get you some really tough one. It's just. I want to get some, you know, fairly decent band. I don't want to ask you something about, you know, like Tommy Tucker or Shep Fields or some of those Mickey Mouse bands, because I know you're Mr. Hip.
[01:25:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:25:06] Speaker B: Okay.
This kind of tough. The man who wrote and arranged the Dipsy Doodle. Remember the Dipsy Doodle? He wrote it and arranged it for Tommy Dorsey. He also did the arrangements and stuff for Glenn Gray on A Study in Brown.
And then he organized his own band. Yeah, and what was the name of that band leader?
[01:25:27] Speaker C: Larry Clinton.
[01:25:28] Speaker B: Oh, son of a guy. I'm so glad he.
[01:25:30] Speaker C: I would have been so embarrassed.
[01:25:32] Speaker B: That was a tough one, too. You did very well. That was great.
[01:25:35] Speaker C: Thank you, ladies.
[01:25:37] Speaker B: Okay, I. I know your name and address and all that kind of stuff. And I know where you live and I know what your family is like, so watch yourself. I'm sorry. I want to turn you over to Tony. Anyway, so get the full information. I'll mail it out to you and I'll see you in a couple of weeks at Romeo.
[01:25:50] Speaker C: Thanks so much.
[01:25:51] Speaker B: Okay, Bye. Bye. Bob, the band is just great. One of the great kept secrets. They rehearse every other week at Romy's, which is Right near the Liberty Tree Mall and out that way in Danvers.
And you go in, there's no admission charge because the band is rehearsing. Don't even have to buy a drink if you don't want to. Wow. To hear the Romy's management saying. Why do you say that?
But it's, you know, no pressure. It's really nice. Okay, let's go to Karen in Boston. Hi, Karen.

[01:27:05] Speaker C: Excuse me, can I say something?
I just. I have. Yes, it is. I thought I'd join in for one quick second.
[01:27:13] Speaker E: Ed, go ahead.
[01:27:15] Speaker C: Did you mean what? Because it didn't actually come from that movie.
[01:27:20] Speaker B: It was out.
[01:27:21] Speaker C: It was released long before that. Too bad.
[01:27:23] Speaker D: I already am.
[01:27:24] Speaker C: No, no, I know the fight would end.
[01:27:28] Speaker B: Tony, would you just go away and stop ruining all of this?
[01:27:32] Speaker E: Tony is technically correct.
[01:27:34] Speaker C: Thank you.
[01:27:35] Speaker E: Okay, and now back to the dungeon.

[01:28:04] Speaker B: Is it Kenneth?
[01:28:05] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:28:05] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay, so if I had said what was the. Who is Reginald Kenneth White, better known as than.
[01:28:09] Speaker C: You would have got that too.
[01:28:11] Speaker E: Elton John's my favorite, so I would have got that.

[01:28:15] Speaker B: He was here in town, what, just recently?
The past week or so?

[01:28:54] Speaker B: Well, keep waiting.
I'll get you set. One of our studios where the bathing beauties happen to be walking by.

[01:29:09] Speaker B: A tie in the Dumb Birthday game.
[01:29:11] Speaker C: Yes. So in case there's no tie, there'll be no bathing suit competition.
[01:29:15] Speaker B: Bathing suit will look funny without a tie. Yeah. Were the coasters originally the cocktail napkins?
And Jack, I want to thank you very much. Thank you for playing the game.
And we'll expect a traffic report from you in a few minutes anyway.
[01:29:31] Speaker C: Okay.
