[00:02:04] Speaker B: Hey, you know what tonight is?
It's Howdy Doody time. I don't know. I don't know why I said that. Anyway, tonight's the music. Our big music quiz. This is the Bob Raleigh show. Bob is just taking an extra night off. He'll be back tomorrow. He's in 24 hours as a matter of fact, or my name ain't Cecil Smith.
And so anyway, tonight we're doing the music quiz. And the best way to take part in this is to call 254-1030, area code 617. Now let me introduce you to members of our swell panel. We have Jack Hart. You're all set out there, are you?
What did I do that for?
Hold on a minute. There you are. Jack Hart. Yeah, yeah. Also have to play the.
I never. I don't know if I told you in advance. Tonight was the night for the music quiz. You know, somewhere along the line I did hear a rumor.
Well, you know, the rumor was right. And tonight is the is the music quiz along with along with Ed Mullen.
[00:03:03] Speaker C: Uhhuh. Right here.
[00:03:04] Speaker D: How you doing, Jack?
[00:03:04] Speaker B: Hello. I'm well. How are you?
[00:03:05] Speaker D: Good. Nice to hear you again.
[00:03:07] Speaker B: Indeed. Nice to hear you. And of course, the very lovely Tony Nesbitt. Good morning on your ears, Jack.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Good morning on your ears. Let me think about that as a slogan for opening a show.
Nah, it really sucks.
Okay?
Mike Epstein is our producer and he'll be producing stuff because that's what producers really do.
And anyway, 2, 5, 4, 10, 30, you'll be talking with Mike and he'll put you on the air. Here's the way we play things. We have three categories. Three or four categories. This is the most confusing part of the whole thing. This is the whole thing. Once we get going, you'll get the feel of it. You call, you. We ask you the first question when you call. And you. But you tell us which category.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: 1.
[00:03:49] Speaker B: Either rock, rock and roll or jazz or big bands or musical comedy. Just. You have to stick with that same category throughout. Or Morse code. Or Morse code. As you could hear in the background there, you. We ask you a question first. If you get the answer to that question. Of course, if you don't get the answer, you're out, man. You just don't waste our time. You're gone.
History.
Maybe I should phrase that dust yesterday's news. Okay. That's right.
You're the newspaper in the bottom of the bird case as far as we're concerned, fella. Anyway, if you get the. If you do get the answer to the question, then you ask us a question along those same lines, the same. That is rock or big band jazz. And if we get that comedy. If we get that, you're out of here, man. Your history, your dust, your paper, the bottom of a birdcage.
But if we don't get that, then we ask you one more question. And if you don't. If they don't get that one, you dust your.
[00:04:50] Speaker D: You pretty much have no chance to win.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: You have three. You have to answer two questions. We only have to answer one. There's only one of you and there's 700 of us. So what are your chances of winning anything? And if you do win, what do you win? A little lousy certificate.
It's almost not worth it. But with that kind of encouragement, I hope you'll call anyway. Okay. That'd be kind of fun.
Okay. What a happy speech that was. Yeah.
[00:05:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:15] Speaker D: Unfortunately, there's no more time for the program.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: There is no more time for the program. But I. Drive safely. I did. That's right. Drive safely on the way home.
That actually was the better part of my own bar mitzvah speech given on December 8, 1938, or somewhere around there.
Except I left out the Hebrew part about. Well, never mind. Anyway, a couple of. Just a couple of messages, then we'll start taking photos, phone calls. All the lines are pretty well lit up, so we'll get the program underway right away.
[00:05:44] Speaker E: If you suffer the discomforts of menopause, you'll want to know about.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: Designed for kids and their parents.
[00:05:49] Speaker D: Kid company this Saturday afternoon beginning at
[00:05:52] Speaker B: 5 on WBC News Radio 1030. Okay, let's play a music quiz and let's get to our first caller, Fred in Medford. Hi, Fred.
[00:06:00] Speaker C: Hello there, Norm.
[00:06:01] Speaker B: Hey, good. What is your category, Fred?
[00:06:03] Speaker C: Can I have a rock question?
[00:06:04] Speaker B: A rock question. And here it comes.
[00:06:07] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: What era was the PlayStation rock first found? On the sedimentary layer.
[00:06:13] Speaker C: He's getting into it.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
Jack, Jack, just sit quietly and look at the cars piling up.
Okay, you have a question. Ed Mellon will have a question on for you.
[00:06:24] Speaker C: Okay, here we go.
[00:06:25] Speaker D: In the song the Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight, a man gets a one way ticket to Georgia. Where does he leave from?
[00:06:34] Speaker C: He's leaving from.
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
[00:06:43] Speaker B: You know, Fred, you have a way of doing my entire shtick.
But I'm sorry.
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Speaking of other people's shtick.
That's the spirit.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: Let me. Let me get. Oh, he's hung up on me. Okay, let's go to a main.
[00:06:55] Speaker C: I'm worried about.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: This is a weird name.
No, Fred is a big fan. He records all the things he hears.
[00:07:01] Speaker E: Hello?
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Yes, I may.
[00:07:03] Speaker E: Hi, how are you? My phone kept cutting off, but I'm here.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: Well, that's. I'm glad to hear that. That sounds just awful.
What category would you like?
[00:07:14] Speaker E: Me? I think I like the musical comedy.
[00:07:16] Speaker B: Musical comedy. I will ask you a question in that subject line.
Okay.
Two of the Broadway musicals, successful Broadway musicals feature dogs.
One was Annie and one was Peter Pan. Can you tell me the name of those two dogs?
[00:07:35] Speaker E: Nana was Peter Pan.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:07:38] Speaker E: And.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: Oh, I can't believe she got that one. I know. That was the tough one.
[00:07:44] Speaker E: That was the hard one.
I thought you'd get Annie's dog.
[00:07:48] Speaker C: Oh, God. Isn't that awful?
[00:07:50] Speaker B: Oh, that was the easy one.
[00:07:52] Speaker E: Yeah, I know that one.
[00:07:54] Speaker C: See, that's, you know, I'm the Peter Pan type.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: You got about three more seconds.
[00:07:59] Speaker E: I know, I. I'm trying to.
Sandy. Sandy says Sandy.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: Hey, that was really. Don't. Don't yell on My ears.
[00:08:07] Speaker E: I know.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: I'm one of those people.
[00:08:08] Speaker E: You don't go through the whole thing. I can't know it.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Okay. No, that was very good.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: Very good. You. You.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: You're not only our second contestant, but our first winner and number three in our hearts.
[00:08:19] Speaker E: Ah.
[00:08:20] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: Let me turn you over to Mike Epstein.
Oh, I'm sorry. We're just beginning. Yeah, that's right. Now you've got to ask us one. It happens every time, doesn't it? I always forget. It takes me until half the program is done before I remember the rules.
Okay. Ask, ask. And let me mention, while you're thinking of a question, those of you who do call always have a question in mind. Whether it's rock or swing or big bands or music, comedy, whatever the category is. Because if you. If you get the first question we ask you, then you have to ask us a question in the same category. That's right. In the same category. So do have a question ready? Now, what is yours? May.
[00:08:58] Speaker E: John sang a very.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: I'm sorry, who's saying Glynis John? Okay.
[00:09:04] Speaker C: Sang a very popular song from a Broadway musical.
Oh, no.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Come on, give us some Broadway musical. That. That's not a question. Come on.
She said. What do you mean she sang it? Was it a big hit record?
[00:09:17] Speaker E: Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. She was in.
[00:09:20] Speaker C: She was the original one.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: I have no idea what that was. This was Glennis John.
Glennis John. No, I know who Glennis John is. She's a very talented lady.
[00:09:33] Speaker E: And I didn't think she could sing at all.
[00:09:36] Speaker B: No, I think she made a whole album of things at one time.
[00:09:38] Speaker E: Did she?
[00:09:39] Speaker B: Yes, I believe so. Do any of you guys know the answer to that?
[00:09:42] Speaker E: No.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: No, we do not know the answer.
[00:09:44] Speaker C: We give up.
[00:09:44] Speaker B: What was the song?
[00:09:46] Speaker E: Oh, I thought Send in the Clowns.
[00:09:51] Speaker D: Send in the Clowns.
[00:09:52] Speaker E: She sang Send in the Clowns. She was in that music.
[00:09:55] Speaker B: I think that's kind of an unfair question because everybody in the world sang that song.
[00:09:59] Speaker E: Oh, all right.
[00:10:01] Speaker B: Unless. Well, that's all right. We'll let you.
[00:10:02] Speaker C: We'll let it go.
[00:10:03] Speaker B: Let me hit you with another one, then. This is your final one. If you know the answer to this, and then you get one of our certificates. Okay. There were at least two Broadway shows based upon the works of Shakespeare, both very popular musicals. Can you name them?
[00:10:19] Speaker C: The Taming of the Shrew, which was Kiss Me Kate.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: That's exactly right.
[00:10:24] Speaker C: And I have to give you another one.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: One more.
Yeah, that was a great one. That was the Cole Porter show. Kiss Me, Kate, Cole Porter was terrific.
[00:10:35] Speaker C: Yes, he was helping me with the other one.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: It was a.
It was a Rogers and Hart show. Okay, I'll tell you that.
[00:10:45] Speaker E: Something about the boys.
[00:10:48] Speaker B: You tell me. I'll give you five seconds.
[00:10:49] Speaker E: Oh, Syracuse.
[00:10:51] Speaker C: The boys from Syracuse.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: That's exactly right, you devil.
That's exactly right.
[00:10:55] Speaker C: I won.
[00:10:56] Speaker E: I won. I won.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: Very good for you.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: Very good for you, May. Okay, okay, okay. We'll send you a certificate. And you'll be just so darn pleased with that. You'll say, is this it?
Is this all there is? Okay, let's go to.
Let's see, Bob. In the town of Raynham. Hi, Bob.
[00:11:16] Speaker C: How you doing?
Should I answer the. The one about the Gladys Knight song?
[00:11:21] Speaker D: That's right. In the song called Midnight Train to Georgia, the man gets a one way ticket to Georgia. Where does he leave from?
[00:11:27] Speaker C: LA proved too much for the man.
[00:11:29] Speaker D: Exactly right.
[00:11:30] Speaker C: Very good. Thanks.
[00:11:31] Speaker D: Do you have a question for us?
[00:11:32] Speaker C: Yeah, it's an easy one. Which means if you miss it, I'm trying to humiliate you.
That's unfair to say, isn't it? This is an easy one.
I don't know why people do that.
[00:11:44] Speaker B: It puts the pressure on us.
[00:11:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
The group Steely Dan. Give me the name of the novel and the author from which their name came.
[00:11:54] Speaker B: Oh, this is an easy one.
Everybody knows Steely Daniel.
Where they got. Where they got the name of Steely Dan. What book was that from? Or what author wrote the book.
[00:12:04] Speaker C: Right.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Well, I'm a big fan of Steely Dan too. I. I think I. I think I have an idea. Unless somebody has a better one, I guess. Nobody has an idea.
[00:12:15] Speaker D: I don't have any.
[00:12:16] Speaker B: Somehow or another it comes to mind. Catcher in the Rye and Challenger.
[00:12:22] Speaker C: No. No, it was Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. Oh.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Now where does. Where does Steely Dan come into that book? Can you. Do you recall the section?
[00:12:31] Speaker C: We can't say it on polite radio. Oh.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: Can you just do BLEEP for the word or is it a whole string of obscene words?
[00:12:38] Speaker C: It's a slang name for an anatomical part.
[00:12:42] Speaker B: Okay.
Like an appliance that you can buy somewhere. Oh, that's right. Steely Dan is a slang name for the part, isn't it? Steely Dan is actually taken from a obscene expression.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: Is it in the novel?
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, that's where Steely Dan came from.
[00:12:58] Speaker C: It in real life, too. I didn't know that. But I'd never heard it outside of the novel.
[00:13:04] Speaker B: No, what I'm trying to. What I'm trying to understand is the term Steely Dan does. Is that. Is that to take it from an obscene body part? Is that what you're saying?
[00:13:13] Speaker C: Well, that's what it's supposed to be in the novel.
[00:13:18] Speaker B: That's what I'm asking.
[00:13:20] Speaker C: I don't know if I think it might have been just made up by the author. It's kind of a bizarre. Okay.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: But that's what the idea is in the book.
[00:13:25] Speaker D: Okay, Jack, I was thinking Catcher in the Rye too.
What did that come to mind?
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Well, I think maybe books dealing in some respect with odd sexuality.
[00:13:35] Speaker C: I think they were written around the same time in the 50s.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:13:39] Speaker D: All right. Well, I have one final question for you since we missed your question.
And the question is, name two Doobie Brothers who played with the group Steezeely Dan.
[00:13:48] Speaker C: Michael McDonald.
[00:13:50] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:13:54] Speaker C: I'll just have to guess. Tom. Tom Johnson or Johnston.
[00:13:59] Speaker D: No, he didn't play with Steely Dan.
[00:14:01] Speaker C: No, I didn't say.
[00:14:02] Speaker B: Okay, I'm sorry. Interesting question, though, you posed. Bob, thanks for calling.
Okay. Denise is my friend Denise from Brookline.
[00:14:10] Speaker E: Hi, Norm.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: How you doing?
[00:14:11] Speaker E: I'm fine. I figured I'd get in early so I can go to bed to go to work tomorrow.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: That's a foolish way of living your life.
[00:14:17] Speaker D: That makes one of you.
[00:14:20] Speaker E: Hi, Tony.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: Hello, Denise.
[00:14:21] Speaker E: How are you?
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Good.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: How are you?
[00:14:23] Speaker E: Fine. Oh, Norm, before I get my question on your question to May, what about west side Story?
There are actually three based on Shakespeare.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Okay, now, that was based on Romeo and Juliet. Romeo. You're absolutely right.
But I asked her too. If she had said that.
[00:14:39] Speaker E: That's right.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: That would have been a correct answer too.
[00:14:41] Speaker E: Right. But there are actually three.
[00:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah, you're right. You're right. I. I totally forgot about west side Story. But is that a musical comedy?
[00:14:47] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. Well, it's. Yeah, it's. It's within the. It's within. Yeah, it's within the. As we say, the parameters. It's more. It's almost stored. Opera. But it is. It's a musical comedy. Sure.
[00:14:58] Speaker E: And since you don't have my category of 18th century Klezmer music, I guess I'll have to take musical comedy.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Okay, musical comedy.
This is kind of appropriate. This is a Broadway musical based on a book called the Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant, which may very. Which apparently will be this year as well.
What was the name of that musical? Came out in the mid-50s.
[00:15:20] Speaker E: I presume it was Adler and Ross's Damn Yankee.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: That's exactly right. Exactly right. Little fella.
[00:15:26] Speaker E: Little Fella. I look like a fella?
[00:15:30] Speaker B: No, never mind. I just. It's a. You don't make a big deal about some little offhand stupid comment I make.
Anyway, give us. Give us a musical comedy question. Okay.
[00:15:41] Speaker E: What stage play was based on.
Name the stage play that was based on a novel by Mark Twain. And who wrote the music?
[00:15:51] Speaker D: Was it Big River? By.
[00:15:53] Speaker B: It was a. Was it a Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court?
[00:15:56] Speaker E: No, that's a movie.
[00:15:58] Speaker B: Was that. That was never a musical.
[00:16:00] Speaker E: I don't believe it was a stage play. I think.
[00:16:02] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. So this is something else by him.
Yes, I think you had it. Did you?
[00:16:06] Speaker D: Big river by Roger Miller.
[00:16:08] Speaker B: Ah, excellent.
Excellent. Very good. I'd forgotten it. Good. That was Ed Mullen answering that one. Very good.
[00:16:16] Speaker E: Yeah. Oh, well, I lose. Talk to you later.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye, Denise. 2, 5, 4, 10:30. If you want to take part in all of this at 2, 5, 4, 10:30, let's talk with Mike in Medford. Hi, Mike.
[00:16:29] Speaker C: Yes, hi. What categories do you have?
[00:16:32] Speaker B: We have rock, rock and roll, big band, jazz and musical comedy.
[00:16:38] Speaker C: Rock and roll.
[00:16:40] Speaker D: Okay. The question is, on the inside of Michael Jackson's Thriller album, there's a picture of a tiger cub.
What Michael Jackson video features this tiger cub.
[00:16:51] Speaker C: Billie Jean.
[00:16:52] Speaker D: Correct.
Very good. Do you have a question for us?
[00:16:56] Speaker C: Yeah. What was the. Okay. What was the reason why didn't show Elvis Presley's legs on that sulphon?
[00:17:05] Speaker D: I. I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?
[00:17:08] Speaker C: What was the reason on the Ed Sullivan show that they did not show Ellis Presley from the ways down?
[00:17:13] Speaker B: I didn't understand that. Did you understand that?
Because he shook his hip? Because. Yeah. He was suggestively moving about.
[00:17:20] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: And what was the reason he was suggestively moving about is that. No. Why didn't they show him.
[00:17:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: From the waist down on the Ed Sullivan. On the Ed Sullivan show, yeah. On tv. Well, they did because they felt it was obscene. It was too much for television to handle at that time. We've. We've enlarged our scope about what we think is obscene, I guess, since then. But at that time it was. A lot of people objected to that. That's beautiful, Mark.
[00:17:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Okay.
Thank you very much, Mike. He didn't say it was the correct answer, but I happen to know. And you do. And so do you, Ed. And so do you. I thought I heard him say, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just too disappointed that we got the right answer. You know, it was found out years later that it was actually a rash. And if he had only had a bit of Gold Bond, then he would have been okay. That's right. He was really just kind of scratching, rubbing his thighs together. And all the people watching couldn't stand it because they all got sick, and they needed some Marazine because of the shaking. Listen, we get enough commercials on here as it is without us giving them extra plugs.
[00:18:19] Speaker C: Okay?
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Jeff, who's in Maine? Hi, Jeff. Hi. Where in Maine are you, Jeff?
[00:18:24] Speaker C: Augusta.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Augusta. Okay. What category?
[00:18:27] Speaker C: Rock and roll.
[00:18:28] Speaker D: Rock and roll. Question for you. Ike and Tina Turner's first hit was called A Fool in Love in 1960.
But what was Tina Turner's only number one single?
[00:18:40] Speaker C: Oh, boy.
What fluff got to do with it?
[00:18:45] Speaker D: Exactly right.
[00:18:47] Speaker B: Great title of a very great, very nice movie. What's your question for us, Mike? Jeff?
[00:18:55] Speaker C: All right, this one. If you've seen any cinema, you should know this one. What key is a song Jumping Jack Flash written in?
[00:19:06] Speaker D: I don't know. Is that. Is that. That's not really trivia, is it?
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Now? What do you mean? If you've seen movies, if you've seen
[00:19:15] Speaker C: the movie Jumping Jack Flash starring Whoopi Goldberg, you would know what key the song was written in.
[00:19:22] Speaker B: Does that sound. Does that sound like. I don't mean.
[00:19:24] Speaker D: It sounds like a trivia question.
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Let me get a different one then.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that doesn't. That's. That doesn't seem like a trivia question to me, either Mike or Jeff. Why don't you change your name to Mike Brass? That was the key.
[00:19:35] Speaker C: Let me give you a different one.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:19:37] Speaker C: All right, let's see.
What was the first number one hit by the group Kansas?
[00:19:45] Speaker D: Carry On, My Wayward Son.
[00:19:47] Speaker C: Very good.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: Okay, thank you very much, Jeff.
[00:19:51] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:52] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I should have. It wasn't number one.
[00:19:54] Speaker D: It wasn't number one, but it was that first hit. Dust in the Wind was their biggest one. I. I just looked this up just before the show. That's why.
And Dust in the Wind was their biggest hit.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: And they only have a number one?
[00:20:06] Speaker D: No, they never had a number. Yeah, see, so we got all the. We got all the answers.
[00:20:11] Speaker E: Go ahead.
[00:20:11] Speaker D: Come on.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: Come on. Okay.
[00:20:12] Speaker B: Helene for Belmont is going to ask a musical comedy question, and she's going to stump me, and I won't stump her, and I'm already embarrassed.
[00:20:20] Speaker E: Well, before you ask me anything, I want to point out that it was a legitimate question about Send in the Clowns, because Glynis Johns created the song in A Little Night Music.
She was just not one. Who.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: Who sang it okay, Then that threw us. That threw me off a little bit.
[00:20:40] Speaker E: And the Connecticut Yankee was done on the stage long before there was a film.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: Oh. So my answer was correct also.
[00:20:48] Speaker E: Yeah, Dodgers and Hart.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: But wasn't it. Wasn't it based upon a Markpoint story?
[00:20:55] Speaker E: But it was a. It was on the stage.
[00:20:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:58] Speaker B: Well, then.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: Then.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: Then what I'm saying is my. I did say that. I did name that as a stage production based upon Mark Twain. So I was correct with that.
[00:21:07] Speaker C: No.
[00:21:08] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: Okay.
Okay. Now, a question for you, and I assume it's musical comedy we're talking about.
[00:21:16] Speaker E: Yes, indeed.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Okay. Musical comedy we are talking about.
Why am I reaching for the difficult parts? There is no difficult part when it's you. Because you know everything. You know that you know it all. Okay, the musical Guys and Dolls. We'll go back to that. Another question from that. Music and lyrics, of course, were by Frank Lester. It was from a. A story called the Idol of Miss Sarah Brown.
And the idol of Miss Sarah Brown was written by whom?
[00:21:44] Speaker E: Draymond?
[00:21:45] Speaker B: Ronald Santa. You'd know.
You'd so aggravate blame because you know all that stuff. Okay, see if. See if you can stop me.
[00:21:55] Speaker E: All right, try the musical from which the song. I Feel a Song Coming on came.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Boy, I feel a song coming.
Peter Van Steen and the Fred Allen Studio Orchestra.
I don't know.
[00:22:16] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:22:17] Speaker E: It was called Great Day.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: That was the musical.
Who wrote that? Do you know that?
[00:22:23] Speaker E: I honestly, I don't know. It just came to me. But I saw it. It was the second show I ever saw about.
[00:22:30] Speaker B: When. When did that show come out?
[00:22:32] Speaker E: Because I was in the 20s. Obviously, I was very small.
[00:22:35] Speaker D: What's the title of the hit song?
[00:22:37] Speaker B: I Feel a Song Coming on was the title of the song itself.
I Feel a song coming on from the show Great Day. I was just looking Great Day up.
And in the book here, which is extremely extensive, it says, if Elaine says great day, tell her there was no such show, nor ever will there ever be. Okay, I'll ask you a question now that you stumped us.
[00:23:02] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: Another musical comedy question.
Okay. Irving Berlin, of course, wrote not only a number of individual songs, but he wrote a number of Broadway shows.
Can you name four Irving Berlin shows?
[00:23:17] Speaker E: Annie, get your gun.
[00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:19] Speaker E: Call me madam.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: Very good.
[00:23:22] Speaker E: God, I've gone blank.
Four.
[00:23:26] Speaker C: Four.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:30] Speaker E: I have absolutely gone blank. It's late. I can't think of any others. I know. I know them, but at the moment. Let me.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: I know those. Annie, get your gun and Call me mad and call me madam. Yeah, the best known. The others are not Are fairly well known also. And once you hear the name, you'll
[00:23:49] Speaker E: say, I will kill myself.
[00:23:50] Speaker B: No, no, don't, please. No, I like you too much. Don't do that. But you'll say, yipes.
[00:23:57] Speaker E: I'm not ready to say yikes. I already have a certificate. It's just my ego.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: It can't be the certificate. It must be the ego. I'm sorry.
[00:24:08] Speaker E: Well, tell me.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Oh, no, I can't tell you.
[00:24:11] Speaker E: Oh, you can't?
[00:24:12] Speaker B: We're gonna leave that open in case somebody else wants to answer that. So you're gonna have to stay up now. Yes. Hang up. Well, we should get an answer probably very soon.
[00:24:19] Speaker E: Oh, I'm sure.
[00:24:20] Speaker B: Okay, take care. Bye. Bye. And this white is the kids. The following is a commercial message.
[00:24:26] Speaker E: This is Bonnie Churchill.

No one was picking up the mail. The newspaper was filing.
[00:25:42] Speaker C: Nobody picks up your bill.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: 17 bottles of milk were sitting out in his stoop, curdling. But nobody has milk delivered anymore, do they? That joke didn't make any sense. Plenty of people have milk delivered. Do they? Oh, sure. I didn't know that. Otherwise, what would he report on Saturday mornings or Sunday mornings when there's no traffic? That's right too. That's the traffic.
[00:26:01] Speaker D: Trucks are out delivering their milk.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Milk. And the Bread trucks and the other trucks. Anyway, what category would you like?
[00:26:06] Speaker C: Well, I'm being. I'm just going to be benign tonight. Thought so. I was going to give you your choice of three.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: No, you pick. You picked the category.
[00:26:13] Speaker C: Okay. Well, one will be a musical comedy. Okay.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: Is that that the category you want?
[00:26:17] Speaker C: Oh, I was going to give it one in each category, but. No, no, no.
[00:26:20] Speaker B: We have to stick with the same category a little. You're making life very difficult for a city.
[00:26:24] Speaker C: I was trying to make it easier for you.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: What category would you like?
[00:26:27] Speaker C: Okay, let's go to big bands.

[00:27:54] Speaker B: All right, try.
[00:27:55] Speaker C: Whoa.
The gauntlet has been thrown off.
[00:27:58] Speaker B: Okay, good. I'm not gonna duck up a mad one there, fella.
[00:28:02] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: Okay. What that. Was this the category of big band or jazz or something too Big band.
[00:28:07] Speaker C: Okay, who had the last number one single and what was the name of
[00:28:11] Speaker B: it before Elvis Presley took over the chart?
[00:28:13] Speaker C: Oh, 50s.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: Who cares? I mean, what kind of a question is that?
[00:28:16] Speaker C: He was a big. It was a big band.
[00:28:18] Speaker B: Okay, how about Les Brown with
[00:28:23] Speaker C: I
[00:28:23] Speaker B: Got My Love to Keep Me Warm?
[00:28:25] Speaker C: Nope. Riv Griffin. I Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts Cake Kaiser.
[00:28:29] Speaker B: Is that. Oh, no, he never recorded that with Kay Kaiser. He recorded that with I'm Gonna Lovely Bunch of Coconuts. Now, it wasn't with Kay Kaiser. It was It's a Kay Kaiser kind of song. But it wasn't Kay Kaiser. It was band. I can't think of the band. It was a band he. He'd been with. But that was. That had to be long before that
[00:28:50] Speaker D: Kaiser Roll, wasn't it?
[00:28:53] Speaker B: He's a role all the time.
[00:28:56] Speaker C: No.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Okay. You may be right about it being the last big band to hit before Elvis Presley. I guess that's possible. Yeah. But I gotta think of what that band was. Tommy. No, it wasn't Tommy Tucker. Anyway, I missed. I didn't get the song.
[00:29:13] Speaker C: Thanks a lot.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Hey, Ed, thanks for calling and take in your newspapers.
[00:29:17] Speaker C: Have a good night.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: Bye. Bye now. Okay. 2, 5, 4, 10:30, our area code 617. We have some open lines. So if you want to play the music quiz program. And this is kind of fun even if you miss what the heck. Because if you win, you don't get much of anything anyhow. So what the heck. And you can pick the category of rock and roll, Jazz, big bands or musical comedy.
Whatever you'd like. 2, 5, 4, 10:30, area code 617.
Okay, question for you. Who do you know with a September birthday?
Brother or sister or mom or dad? Anybody? Questions? You know, that's a. Well, that's not part of the quiz.
But just a general question.
How about. See. How about sending a birthday beer gram from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company? Make it part of the quiz. Since this.
All the lines are open. I'm sorry, you speaking, Tony, I can see your mouth moving and I can hear coming out, but I can't make out the words.
Anyway, a birthday bear grabbed
[00:30:16] Speaker C: is a
[00:30:16] Speaker B: teddy bear dressed in beautiful birthday bows and sent ups with your special birthday message. The bears can be custom dressed to suit a hobby or profession for golfers, tennis players, sailors, doctors, nurses, teachers, ballet dancers. I bet you they can make up a Vermont teddy bear dressed in a tutu a little. Or maybe a minstrel dressed in those little shoes that curl up at the end with a little funny pointed hat.
Well, maybe they can't. Anyway, all bears are sent UPS with your special birthday message. Bear counselors from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company are waiting for your call to assist you in designing the perfect birthday bear gram.
No, we were trying to find out whether they did make a transvestite beer. A little male bear that likes to dress in women's clothing. But they don't care to respond to that. I'd like to know how we could tell the difference.
I guess maybe that's why they don't bother with that, call 1-800-829-BEAR. That's 1-800-829-B E A R. And surprise somebody you know with a September birthday by sending a birthday bear grant from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. Or send it for any kind of occasion. It's a great thing, and people just get a big kick out of receiving it. That was some interesting copy right there.
Surprise someone you know with a September birthday.
Even though your birthday's in December. Norm. Happy birthday today.
[00:31:46] Speaker D: Surprise.
[00:31:47] Speaker B: Your birthday's now in September.
Are you guys all through? Then let's move along.
Bob, who is down in. Who's in Pennsylvania. Hi, Bob.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Yeah, I gotta poke a few holes here.
[00:31:59] Speaker E: Here.
[00:31:59] Speaker C: First, that band that Marv Griffin was in was Phil Harris's band.
[00:32:03] Speaker B: No, it wasn't Phil Harris either.
[00:32:05] Speaker C: It wasn't Phil Harris.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: No, it, it. I'm. I'm trying to. Wait a minute. I can. I can probably look it up, but it was not Phil Harris.
[00:32:11] Speaker C: I just went back and changed it. That's why I know it was Phil Harris.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: That's why. You know which, Phil.
[00:32:15] Speaker C: I went back and changed it.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: Went back and changed it. I'm so.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: You.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I don't f. You're saying something funny and I'm not getting it.
[00:32:21] Speaker C: No, it's just a time word thing here.
How about Les Baxter's Poor People of Paris? That was number one 55 or 50, I guess.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: I don't think of Les Baxter as, As a big band.
[00:32:35] Speaker C: How about Jimmy Dorsey's version of so Rare?
[00:32:37] Speaker B: That wasn't just so rare. Was late too.
[00:32:40] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: I don't know the answer. I'm just going by what this guy says.
I mean, all of us, I think. I think April and Paris by Count Basie came along around then. Also, there were a number of big band things that came along after rock came in.
So I, I don't. I, I think he not only missed the band, but I, I, I think he. I think he missed the song as well.
Well, anyway, I'm trying to think of who the band was that the Merv Griffin did I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts. It was a stupid song and already a dumb band, so maybe it's not worth investigating.
[00:33:14] Speaker C: That was out in, what, 1948 or 49, wasn't it?
I don't know.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: That's way before my time. Then, of course, it was putting on the Ritz by Dirk Harmonizing. Who, who did that?
[00:33:26] Speaker D: Taco.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, of course. That was that much. After all this. Anyway, what category would you like? Let's. Let's begin right now. What would you like?
[00:33:33] Speaker C: Give me the big band category.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: The Big band category.
Okay, I will give you the big band category.
Okay, I'll give you the band. Big band category.
I'll give you some. Some titled members. And as people who had royal titles and you tell me who they were. These. These guys all led to big bands.
One was the King of Swing by Goodman. Yeah, the King. I'll give you two more. See if we get the other two. The King of Jazz and the King of Hidey Ho.
[00:34:07] Speaker C: King of Heidi Ho would be kept calling, right?
[00:34:10] Speaker B: That's correct.
[00:34:11] Speaker C: I know. The King of Jazz.
[00:34:12] Speaker B: The King of Jazz. I'll give you a clue on this because it was misnamed. I would not call him the King of Jazz because he really didn't play jazz. He had some jazz musicians in there who played well, but it wasn't really a jazz band. But he would always smile and bow and take credit for being the King of Jazz. And I would want to throw things at him.
[00:34:32] Speaker C: Paul Whiteman.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: Paul Whiteman is correct. That's correct. Paul Whiteman. Yeah. Can you imagine being the King of Hidey Ho? Yeah, that's right.
Cab Calloway. He was an interesting man. I thought it might have been James Caan.
What is that? What does that mean?
Oh, ask us a question, would you? I mean you. Yeah, ask us a question. And on the Big band line.
[00:34:57] Speaker C: Oh, my force has to be in the same category.
[00:35:00] Speaker B: Oh, yes. In a big band category.
[00:35:05] Speaker C: She was. I had a question in another category, but since you want me to stick with the same one, I'll do that.
Okay, Name? My number one song by Glenn Miller was on in 1941.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: Oh, come on. That's no kind of a question at all. You don't have any questions. Come on. When you. When you're calling, please stick with the category that you've asked. And we said have a question ready for us in case you answer the first one. A Glenn Miller song from 1941. He did about 8 million songs in 1941. Come on, Peter.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: bu.
[00:35:44] Speaker B: Hi, Peter.

I'm gonna feel really stupid when I don't get this.
James Taylor was.
James Taylor. He was with.
Not the Eagles.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: I'll give you about two more seconds.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: Go ahead. I missed. Okay.
[00:36:41] Speaker D: The D Light D Live record label.
[00:36:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:45] Speaker C: No.
[00:36:45] Speaker D: Okay. Sorry about that.
[00:36:46] Speaker B: We already got past it.
[00:36:47] Speaker C: I got one. Can I give you. Wait. Well, who was it? I was just right.
[00:36:50] Speaker E: You can't tell.
[00:36:51] Speaker B: No, we just hold if. You know, if the.
If a person does not get the answer, we just hold that so somebody else can use the same question later on if they want to start out with that.
[00:36:59] Speaker C: Can I give you a rock and roll trivia?
[00:37:01] Speaker B: Oh, go ahead. Even it won't count, but go ahead anyway.
[00:37:04] Speaker C: I'll be nice.
All right. Remember the Bengals? Oh, yeah, go ahead. Okay. The Bengals had a song called Manic Monday.
[00:37:17] Speaker D: Prince.

[00:37:28] Speaker B: What's that? Before we go on, there's a couple of people who have called in and said that. I'm in the newsroom right here. A couple of people have called in and said that Freddie Martin. Freddie Martin. That's correct. Mike. Yeah, Mike is our producer who's sneak to a microphone to give us that information. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. Freddie Martin is correct. That's the one. Merv Griffin did. I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts with. Freddie Martin had probably one of the lousiest bands that ever was real. We used to call it a Mickey Mouse Band. Anyway, Bill, what category would you like?
[00:38:00] Speaker C: I'll take the big bands. Let's see. Sassy was Sarah Vaughn.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: That's correct.

[00:39:08] Speaker B: It sounds like it would be Duke, Ellen, but it was not. Okay, I'm sorry.
[00:39:12] Speaker C: That's fair enough.
[00:39:13] Speaker B: You had some good questions, so Bill and I appreciate talking with you.
[00:39:16] Speaker C: Okay. Good night.
[00:39:17] Speaker B: Bye. Bye. Okay. Jim in Abington. Hi, Jim.
[00:39:21] Speaker C: Oh, I'm dead.
[00:39:22] Speaker B: Oh, well, you haven't even started yet.
[00:39:25] Speaker C: I. I was going to clean the board with sassy Sarah Vaughan. Oh, I see. The big Billy Eckstein and pretty much Martin for Murph. But I'm big banding it with you, Norm.
[00:39:38] Speaker B: Okay, you. I'll hit you with a question, then. The first of all, your best shot. The best shot. Okay.
Can you tell me who the four brothers were in the 40s, late 40s? Remember Woody Herman had the. Recorded the song Four Brothers? Four saxophone players were featured in the band, and they were the four brothers. Can you name three out of four?
[00:39:58] Speaker C: Four.
[00:39:58] Speaker B: Okay, that's fair enough.
Just three out of four, though not even all four of them.
[00:40:04] Speaker C: I'm sorry, I can't. Four brothers, huh? Yeah, I remember the record very well.
[00:40:10] Speaker B: Yeah, it was a great record. One of my favorites. And then he did one after that called Four Others, which featured a little slightly different personnel, but was.
I've always been a Woody Herman fan. He's done such great things right through the years.
[00:40:23] Speaker C: Right. But I'll tell you, I had what I thought was a stumper for you because I was in the Navy in World War II, and Claude Thornhill had a famous Hollywood actor playing drums for him.
[00:40:38] Speaker B: Really? Now, I didn't know that.
Claude Thornhill had a great event in the Navy.
[00:40:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:43] Speaker B: And he had a guy playing. Of course, he played piano. And Gil Evans did arrangements.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: Right.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: And Snowfall was.
[00:40:50] Speaker C: Snowfall was a snow theme.
[00:40:51] Speaker B: His theme. So I know all that stuff. And it wasn't Mel Torme, was it, by any chance? No, because Mel Torme did play drums. Yeah, I don't. I don't have. Who was that?
[00:41:02] Speaker C: Jackie Cooper.
[00:41:04] Speaker B: Jackie Cooper played drums for Claude Thornhill.
[00:41:06] Speaker C: That's right. And he was in the South Pacific one night when the carrier that I was on took a suicide bomber and he put it in his book. He wrote a book entitled Please Don't Shoot My Dog.
[00:41:20] Speaker B: I'm sorry, who did that? Jackie Cooper.
[00:41:21] Speaker C: Cooper.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. That was A line from one of his movies when he was a kid.
[00:41:25] Speaker C: No, what they used to do was they would threaten him to. They wanted to make him cry for Wally Beery. And of course he was so happy that he, he didn't want to cry. They took his dog and brought him behind the scenery. And the director said, if he doesn't cry, shoot the dog. Oh, no. Honest to God. True story.
[00:41:45] Speaker B: Isn't that awful?
[00:41:46] Speaker C: And the God would shoot a blank and he cried like, like I would.
[00:41:51] Speaker B: Isn't that awesome?
[00:41:52] Speaker C: Then they bring the dog back.
[00:41:53] Speaker B: Somebody should have, should have reported that to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty.
[00:41:58] Speaker C: That's right, they did after that, you know.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Nobody would ever dare get away with that and try to get away with. No, he just hired Jack out to tell bad jokes.
[00:42:06] Speaker C: Let me tell you, we ball our
[00:42:08] Speaker B: eyes out like crazy.
[00:42:09] Speaker C: You know, it might be too late now, but I would try to. I get a hold of that book because there's an amazing story in it.
It's a very, very good book.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: I will look for that. Please Don't Shoot My Dog by Jackie Cooper. Okay. Hey, thanks a lot for the call, Jeff. Okay, bye, bud. Okay, let's do. Just take a little break here and then we'll be back and we'll, we'll be playing this game until 2 o', clock, by the way, so just keep calling. 2, 5, 4, 10, 3.

[00:42:50] Speaker B: But Jim Brown got relief using Triple Action Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
[00:42:55] Speaker C: Actually, relief came the first time I
[00:42:58] Speaker B: used it and it does have a,
[00:43:02] Speaker C: well, a cooling feel, kind of like you stepped into a breeze.
[00:43:07] Speaker B: Gold Bond's Triple Action is like three great powders in one. It has the absorbing action of powder, the medicating action of a proven itch fighter and the drying action of zinc oxide. That's Triple Action Gold Bond.

[00:44:54] Speaker B: Okay, now what was the. What was the question? Oh, yeah, Ethel. No, Irving Berlin. I said Irving Berlin wrote a number of Broadway shows named four of them and the two that were mentioned. That's true. Both did star Ethel Merman. But I was. I was looking for the names of the shows by Irving Berlin, not by Ethel Merman.
[00:45:13] Speaker C: Oh, okay, then I. I had been missed a lot. Understood. I missed the part of the question.
Can I have another musical comedy question?

[00:45:48] Speaker E: The.
[00:45:49] Speaker C: In the recent large revival of Guys and Dolls, what was the name of the actor who played Nathan Detroit?
[00:46:00] Speaker B: I just saw that. The one that was in Boston a few. A few months ago.
[00:46:04] Speaker C: I don't know if he played it on the road.
[00:46:07] Speaker B: Frank Sinatra played it in the movie.
But that's not who you're thinking of.
[00:46:12] Speaker C: I know. No, this is the recent revival.
[00:46:16] Speaker B: The recent revival. Who's that?
[00:46:18] Speaker C: On Broadway.
[00:46:18] Speaker B: You saw that?
[00:46:19] Speaker D: Yeah, I just saw it too.
[00:46:20] Speaker B: Who is Nathan Detroit?
Boy?
[00:46:24] Speaker C: I.
[00:46:25] Speaker B: He was a well known person. I can't think of his name.
[00:46:27] Speaker D: Who played Gopher? Is it Gopher on Love Boat? You know, I'm serious. The. The guy, he. He's in.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: He's a senator now. Yeah.
No, he's not the same fellow who did it. I give up.
[00:46:39] Speaker E: Who?
[00:46:40] Speaker C: Nathan Lane. Who? Nathan Lane.
[00:46:43] Speaker D: Nathan Lane.
[00:46:43] Speaker C: Nathan Lane played Nathan Detroit.
[00:46:46] Speaker B: That doesn't even sound familiar. Okay, I'll hit you with one more. If you get this correct and you win a certificate, this, the musical based on the themes by Edvard Grieg is sort of described as the last of the old time costume operas. The song of what? What country?
[00:47:06] Speaker C: Song of Norway.
[00:47:07] Speaker B: Yeah. I didn't mean to go that far.
You win. I was going to ask you the name of the song. I said this song. I started telling you. I'm so stupid. I can't believe it was based on the themes of Edvard Grieg. It was the song of Norway. That's correct.
You win a certificate, and we'll get
[00:47:24] Speaker C: it out to you.
[00:47:25] Speaker B: And so hang in there. Nice to talk with you. And what we're going to do is take a break for the news and we'll be back. Oh, boy. That was so stupid.
[00:47:32] Speaker D: Let's make the game more interesting by giving the answers.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: Right.
[00:47:39] Speaker C: He's Norm Nathan Norm Nathan he's the talk of the town Lift you up
[00:47:45] Speaker E: when you're down Norm Nathan or W.

[00:47:54] Speaker B: Okay, we're playing musical trivia and a big quiz going on here, and it's just so much fun. And we'll get back to. In just a minute.
Yes, please.
[00:48:05] Speaker D: Could you give me the lottery numbers?
[00:48:08] Speaker B: Hold on just a minute.
I got them packed away in my voluptuous valise.
Okay, here they are right on top.
Right next to some very personal phone numbers.
[00:48:20] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:48:21] Speaker B: Okay, Massachusetts Daily Lottery number. How nice of you to ask.
Massachusetts daily lottery number 8735. Marilyn's extension. Wait a minute. She's shooting.
[00:48:32] Speaker D: Confused. The phone number.
[00:48:32] Speaker B: Same thing.
[00:48:33] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:48:33] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. It's one of those coincidences that happens once in a blue moon. Or as Tom Brokaw would say, it happens once in a blue moon.
There were, let's see, two numbers, winners drawn Monday night in the $100,000 mass cash game. One ticket was a quick pick sold at Peabody. The other was sold in South Boston. You may not even care, but what the heck? I want to give you the whole story. And both winners were tourists passing through the numbers. That's right.
[00:49:01] Speaker C: Drawn.
[00:49:02] Speaker B: The numbers drawn were 6, 7, 9, 12 and 19.
The Tri State Daily 873-7077, Rhode Island Daily Force 9, 6 0, and Connecticut Daily 659 and 3 9, 3 0.
And as my uncle High would say, well, I hear the Red Sox didn't lose today. And we say what he said. That's cause they didn't play.
[00:49:28] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:49:30] Speaker B: but he was not a bad guy in the face of that. Okay, we'll play the dumb birthday game. No, this is not the dumb birthday game. This is the other one. This is the dumb music Dumb freezer.
[00:49:38] Speaker C: Must be operable.
[00:49:39] Speaker B: Owned by you, cold at the time of pickup. And in Massachusetts Electric Service territory.
Okay, we're playing the big music Dumb music quiz game. And there are four categories we. When you call 25-4-1030, area code 617, you can ask either questions on rock and roll or big band or swing. That is jazz rather, or musical comedy. And that's the way we play.
We ask you a question. If you know the answer, then you ask us one. But be sure to have a question before you call. And stay in the same category all. All the way through because those are our rules. But I can't remember now why we instituted. You're right. About halfway through the game, all of a sudden the rules become very clear. They are clear. Yeah, I think they are very clear. I never understand them. At about an hour and a half
[00:50:26] Speaker D: later, I'm like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
[00:50:28] Speaker B: That's Tony Nose bit now. Nose bit, who's the producer on the David Breadbox Show.
[00:50:36] Speaker C: And
[00:50:38] Speaker B: Tony Nesbitt along. I'll alienate everybody at the station before I'm through.
Along with Ed Mullen. Mike Epstein as a producer. But even more important than anything is Jack Hart is our singing weather guy. I mean, traffic fella. Jack, you there?
Hit that little traffic thing. Oh, he's not there.
[00:50:58] Speaker E: There he is.
[00:50:58] Speaker B: Oh, there he is. I know him somewhere. Okay, let's take some more.
[00:51:03] Speaker A: Now.
[00:51:04] Speaker B: You get two people on the line, don't you?
[00:51:05] Speaker C: Hello?
[00:51:06] Speaker B: Oh, I have two.
[00:51:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:51:07] Speaker B: Excuse me.
Oh, my. Could you put. Oh, thank you, Paul. You put one on hold. Paul from Haverhill. Hi, Paul.
[00:51:15] Speaker C: Hi, Norm. How you doing?
[00:51:17] Speaker B: Apparently not too well right at the moment, but I'll. I'll make a recovery. What category would you like? Big bands, Norm. Big bands. Yeah, he.
[00:51:25] Speaker C: Incidentally, I found out of a. What happened to Todd Adams from Havel.
[00:51:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, From Haverhill. Oh, yeah. The guy with the great Bond Golden. The gold Bond commercial.
[00:51:36] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, yeah. The word is he used to live in Haverhill, but he took a powder. Oh, that's awful. But you can use it.
[00:51:46] Speaker B: I don't think so incidentally, let me see, somebody had asked us about the last big band hit record.
[00:51:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:51:57] Speaker B: Before.
Was it before Elvis Presley?
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Sure.
[00:52:00] Speaker B: And then they said Merv Griffin with I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts, and they attributed the wrong band to him. That was 49.
[00:52:07] Speaker C: Also the wrong time.
[00:52:09] Speaker B: Also. Also it.
April in Paris, which was a very big hit by Count Basie, came along after that and much closer to the Elvis Presley era. What was the year on 1951? 1951 for. For April in Paris.
[00:52:23] Speaker C: No, no, negative.
[00:52:25] Speaker B: What do you mean negative?
[00:52:26] Speaker C: No, it didn't come out after that.
I know full well.
[00:52:30] Speaker B: Why is that?
[00:52:30] Speaker C: Because I came out of the service in 55 and that song hit the jukeboxes about 56.
[00:52:40] Speaker B: Could it have been.
Could it have begun its hit a spree there in 1951? And then because it was around for a long time in the tavern that you went to just had a jukebox that was behind the tags.
[00:52:51] Speaker C: No,
[00:52:54] Speaker B: because we're looking.
[00:52:54] Speaker C: And Freddie Martin's recording of the Coconut Thing with Merv Griffin came out in 49, as I recall.
[00:53:02] Speaker B: Yeah, it did come out in the 40s.
[00:53:03] Speaker C: That's.
[00:53:04] Speaker B: That's true. Okay, so in either case, the. The answer probably was Evelyn Paris and not the other thing.
[00:53:11] Speaker C: Right.
[00:53:12] Speaker B: I'm so glad because I like that better. Okay, you want a big band question. Did you want to name the four brothers or 3? 3 out of 4.
[00:53:19] Speaker C: I already want a certificate for you for the same question last December. Oh, really?
[00:53:23] Speaker B: Son of a gun. I better get some new questions that night.
[00:53:26] Speaker C: Same question.
[00:53:27] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:53:28] Speaker C: Incidentally. Yeah. I mentioned Al cone at the time.
[00:53:31] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:53:32] Speaker C: And you said he wasn't. I said for the four brothers.
[00:53:36] Speaker B: That's right. He was not a member.
[00:53:37] Speaker C: In the Herald a week ago Sunday, they had a write up on Serge Chel off.
[00:53:43] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:53:44] Speaker C: And his works.
[00:53:44] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he was.
[00:53:45] Speaker C: I mentioned the original four brothers. Now cone was mentioned along with Herb Stewart and Getz and.
[00:53:52] Speaker B: Well, that would make it five brothers then.
[00:53:54] Speaker C: Well, they. Apparently there was. He did alternate with them.
[00:54:00] Speaker B: No, I. But I don't. But I don't think Al cone was the one on the original version of Four Brothers.
[00:54:05] Speaker C: On the actual recording. Perhaps not. I know it's.
[00:54:08] Speaker B: Yes, yes. As long as you're not sure.
I'm going to say you're wrong and keep pressing because how do you know?
Okay.
[00:54:16] Speaker C: In any case, you sent me the certificate last December for that.
[00:54:19] Speaker B: Oh, it's the same certificate. It'll have a different date on it.
Okay. What band leader featured an audience participation gimmick called so youo Want to Lead a Band.
[00:54:29] Speaker C: No, that was Kay Kaiser.
[00:54:30] Speaker B: No. No, it was not.
[00:54:32] Speaker E: It wasn't?
[00:54:33] Speaker B: No, it was not. It sounds like a Kay Kaiser kind of thing, but it was not Kay Kaiser. It was another schlocky band.
I shouldn't. You're the guy who knows the Four Brothers, so you. Obviously, your taste in big bands is very erudite, and you're very sharp. And I give you a question on some schlocky band which is terribly beneath you. But as long as I can stop you, Paul, that's all I care about, whether I have to play illegally or not.
[00:54:58] Speaker C: Okay. What? Fair is fair. Okay.
[00:55:00] Speaker B: Hey, thanks for calling.
[00:55:01] Speaker C: Good enough. Thanks. Bye.
[00:55:03] Speaker B: Bye, Paul.

[00:55:31] Speaker E: Right.

[00:55:34] Speaker E: Rock and Roll.
[00:55:35] Speaker B: Rock and roll. Okay. It's been pretty quiet on the rock and roll side tonight.
[00:55:39] Speaker C: Really?

Okay, ask us something now. Very good, Laney.

[00:58:33] Speaker E: I have no idea.
[00:58:35] Speaker D: It was in the mid 70s, kind of early 70s.
Was very.
It's like an easy listening classic. It's actually a really great song. Full orchestra.
[00:58:46] Speaker B: Music to hustle by.
Music to hustle by? Yeah, you know, remember the Hustle?
[00:58:52] Speaker D: Do the Hustle.
[00:58:52] Speaker B: Oh, the. Oh, the dance. I thought it was what you do at a bar. You know, you got me.
[00:58:57] Speaker E: I have no idea.
[00:58:58] Speaker B: Okay, well, thank you. That's too bad, Lanny, because they all these guys are flying. Fallen in love with your voice and they wanted you to win so badly. Yeah, but call it. Call us again. It was good to talk to you.
[00:59:09] Speaker E: Okay, thanks a lot.
[00:59:10] Speaker B: Bye bye now.
[00:59:11] Speaker E: Bye. Bye.
[00:59:12] Speaker B: Okay, how about Robbie, who's in his car? Hi, Robbie.
[00:59:16] Speaker C: Hi, Norm.
[00:59:17] Speaker B: What category would you like, Robbie?
[00:59:19] Speaker C: What are my choices, Norm?
[00:59:22] Speaker B: Rock and roll, big band, jazz or musical comedy?
[00:59:27] Speaker C: What's on going Go. Musical comedy.
[00:59:29] Speaker B: Musical comedy, eh?
Okay, musical comedy it will be. Please stop asking because Norm does not have any questions.
Now we'll come up with some. I tell you or my name ain't Lois Abril.
Okay. He wrote the shows. Kiss Me Kate. Can Can. Mexican Hayride. Silk stockings. Who was he?
[00:59:50] Speaker C: Kiss Me Kate. Silk stockings.
Who was he?
[00:59:54] Speaker B: Mexican Hayride. He wrote Cancan. He wrote all the music and the words for all those shows. And if several more besides his men are fake.
[01:00:02] Speaker C: Wow, give me a tough one, Norm.
[01:00:05] Speaker B: Oh, it is a tough one. But somehow I thought you'd come through. I was saving a tough one for you.
[01:00:09] Speaker E: Come on.
[01:00:10] Speaker C: I want a new category, Norm.
[01:00:12] Speaker B: Oh, come on. I'm sorry. Hey, I appreciate you trying anyway, Robbie. And as my old neighbor used to say, try was never beat.
Although in this case, it seems to be.
I'm sorry. 2, 5, 4, 10, 30.
Anybody again? Any, any of these questions, whatever the category might be that have been sent out and we'll review them maybe in a little bit, but like around two? No, it's right. Yeah, that's right. In fact, right after these messages. As we say, this is a notice to all diesel users. Dennis K. Burke, the Diesel King, has an important message for you. Beginning October 1st, diesel powered trucks must meet the EPA's new low sulfur diesel fuel regulations. The new law mandates significant reductions in sulfur emissions through the use of special low sulfur diesel fuel. Dennis K. Burke's low sulfur premium red diesel is your answer to the new rules. It meets the standard without any loss of performance. The new rules are complicated and failure to comply can lead to fines of up to 25,000 per day. So don't take a chance. For a free consultation, call Dennis k. Burke at 1-800-buy-BURKE or ask your Burke driver. They're called road scholars. They have the answers. Our low sulfur premium red diesel will keep your fleet running smoothly now and during the cold winter months ahead. So when you think diesel, think Burke. Call 1-800-3100 now. That's 1-800-982-3100.
Okay, we're doing the musical trivia quiz and we're going with Patrick in Quincy. Patrick, hi. What category would you like?

[01:02:11] Speaker D: No, that's wrong. Sorry about that.
[01:02:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm. I'm sorry. Thanks for trying, Patrick. And are you really sure the man is dead?
I like to ask those kind of
[01:02:22] Speaker D: questions after the death.
[01:02:24] Speaker B: No, that was after the loving.
[01:02:25] Speaker D: I'm sorry.
[01:02:27] Speaker B: Here comes a man who's going to totally destroy me because he knows I'll sit back and watch this. I like this. If you like to watch blood seep from. From a talk host's every vein and. And. Or you, pardon the expression, orifice, you're about to catch it. This is Fred up in Yarmouth, Maine, who knows more about Big Bass than anybody in the entire universe, including Woody Herman, if he were alive today. How you doing, Fred?
[01:02:53] Speaker C: Hey, Norman, how are you?
[01:02:54] Speaker B: Good, thank you.
[01:02:55] Speaker C: Good, good.

[01:03:04] Speaker C: Yeah, I didn't get to it. They had one.
[01:03:07] Speaker B: Well, now, what was it like, what they do?
[01:03:08] Speaker C: Oh, they had Roland Hannah playing piano, but then they were doing Ellington tunes with a lot of different people, including a Middle Eastern string band.
[01:03:19] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[01:03:20] Speaker C: Can't imagine such a thing.
[01:03:22] Speaker B: Well, they play the Yarn
[01:03:26] Speaker C: and, I don't know, stuff like that.
[01:03:30] Speaker B: And the PLOs, like you said before,
[01:03:32] Speaker C: we got to make room for our fat. He needs a shave, though.
Norman? Yes, I'd like to do the. Either jazz or big band, whichever.
[01:03:40] Speaker B: Okay, let me hit you with a big band question, friend.
[01:03:43] Speaker C: And don't give me that Woody Herman one.
[01:03:45] Speaker B: No, which one was that?
[01:03:48] Speaker C: One of the four brothers.
[01:03:48] Speaker B: Oh, the four brothers. Okay.
[01:03:50] Speaker C: No, I don't know them.
[01:03:51] Speaker B: Okay. The name of the band originally called the Orange Blossom.
[01:03:55] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[01:03:56] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Did I stop you? I couldn't have done that.
Yeah, it was originally called the Orange Blossoms. Became. It was a very well known band and they took on another nickname after that.
[01:04:06] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:04:07] Speaker B: I saw them at the old RKO Boston theater way back in the 40s. And I'm gonna. Later on I'm gonna sing a medley of the songs they sang. What else?
[01:04:15] Speaker C: What else were they called?
[01:04:17] Speaker B: Well, I can't tell you that because if I told you the nickname after that, you'd know that one.
And I don't want to give you anything too easy.
Yes, I am. Because you've made me look like a fool. So long, Fred. I'm going back at you.
[01:04:30] Speaker C: Now sing the medley.
[01:04:34] Speaker B: Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll sing the song. One of the songs that they sang when he was at the RKO Boston theater, man sang I can't go I can't show my face can't go any place People stop and stop there oh, it's so hard to bear Everybody knows you love it's the talk of the town You're. You're naming the composer?

[01:04:57] Speaker C: Johnny Long.
[01:04:58] Speaker B: Oh, no, it's not Johnny. Johnny Long, the left handed fiddle player?
[01:05:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:05:02] Speaker B: No, no, it was not him.
[01:05:04] Speaker C: Okay. I bombed out once.
[01:05:06] Speaker B: Fred, I'm so glad you show your human.
[01:05:08] Speaker C: Well, one thing, one thing. You know the. With all the obits about Helen o' Connell the other day, they missed another one. Did you see it?
[01:05:14] Speaker B: No.
[01:05:17] Speaker C: Marsala, the gal that used to play jazz harp.
[01:05:20] Speaker B: Oh, yes, I remember.
[01:05:22] Speaker C: Her 80 years old. I can't believe it.
[01:05:24] Speaker B: I didn't. I didn't see that. I did see the Helen o'. Connell. I felt so badly because I thought she was one of the cutest vocalists with her dimples. Plus the fact that she sang awfully well.
[01:05:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Hey, Fred. Adele Gerard used to play at the Hickory House inside that circular bar they had up there in West 52nd. Oh, really? Yeah. And she married Joe Marsala long time back in 37. Oh, yeah.
[01:05:49] Speaker B: Those are such magical names.
[01:05:50] Speaker C: Those are the days. So the question I was going to ask you.
[01:05:53] Speaker B: Yeah?
[01:05:54] Speaker C: There's three.
Three Boogie Woogie Trio. The greatest of all time. Can you name them?
[01:06:02] Speaker B: One was Freddie Slack.
Would you include him in that?
[01:06:06] Speaker C: Nope. I got three. Three Black Boogie Woogie. They all played down at Cafe Society.
[01:06:12] Speaker B: Okay. Freddie Slack was white, but he played with Jimmy Dorsey. But he had his own band with Ella, maybe.
[01:06:19] Speaker D: Is that Lux Lewis Mead.
[01:06:21] Speaker B: Lux Lewis.
[01:06:22] Speaker C: Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson.
[01:06:24] Speaker B: Excellent. Those are good. That's good. I should have known that. And I should not have allowed Ed Mullen to beat me to the punch on that.
[01:06:30] Speaker C: I got one more for you.
[01:06:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:06:33] Speaker C: We've got a little group up here in Portland of Jazz Bees. And we'd like to challenge your. Your group sometime to a trivia contest.
[01:06:42] Speaker B: All right. Why don't we do that? Can you send me the information on that?
[01:06:45] Speaker C: Sure will.
[01:06:45] Speaker B: Maybe we'll do a thing on the air like that.
[01:06:47] Speaker C: That would be fun. But not rock and roll. This is strictly jazz.
[01:06:50] Speaker B: Okay. We'll get a panel of strictly jazz. Maybe I'll ask a few big bands of jazz people. Okay.
[01:06:58] Speaker C: Like Bob Bachelder, maybe Paul McIntyre down in Scarborough. Yeah, we got Jim Rice. Not the baseball player up in Bath.
[01:07:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:07:06] Speaker C: And myself. And we could get a little contest going some night.
[01:07:10] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:07:11] Speaker C: I think it'd be fun.
[01:07:12] Speaker B: I think it'd be great fun.
[01:07:13] Speaker C: I'll send you the names and all the details. Okay. In the mail.
[01:07:16] Speaker B: Okay. And I'll be in touch with you. We'll work it out.
[01:07:18] Speaker C: Fine.
[01:07:18] Speaker B: Okay, Fred. Thanks.
[01:07:19] Speaker C: Bye bye.
[01:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah, bye. Bye. I can hear you all disagreeing in that show.
[01:07:23] Speaker C: No, no, no, no.
[01:07:24] Speaker B: I think you're wrong on that one.
Okay, we have Jim, who is in Belmont. Hi, Jim.
[01:07:30] Speaker C: Hi. How are you tonight?
[01:07:31] Speaker B: Good, thanks. What category would you like?
[01:07:33] Speaker C: Can I answer the question regarding Love Unlimited Orchestra? Right.
[01:07:38] Speaker D: Who is the conductor of the.
[01:07:39] Speaker C: Barry White.
[01:07:40] Speaker D: Barry Wright is Correct.
Barry White is white.
[01:07:45] Speaker E: Correct.
[01:07:47] Speaker B: I did my Tom Broko. And now you're doing your Elmer Fudd.
I'm thinking About. No, Barbara.
Barbara Wawa, as we call. Anyway, you ask us a question.
[01:08:01] Speaker C: This isn't necessarily a musical question, but you would mention briefly the fellow who played Gopher on Love Boat.
[01:08:09] Speaker B: Randy.
[01:08:10] Speaker C: What does he do for a living now?
[01:08:12] Speaker B: He's a senator or something to that effect. Congressman.
[01:08:14] Speaker C: You're right. He's a congressman.
[01:08:16] Speaker B: Congressman, yes, from California.
Okay, now, what's your question?
[01:08:23] Speaker C: In the musical Little Abner, the character played by Stubby Kay.
[01:08:27] Speaker B: Yeah. The only thing is, you're going to musical comedy now, and you began with.
[01:08:30] Speaker C: Well, that's because that was outstanding. I didn't ask for that category. I just jumped in on it.
[01:08:35] Speaker B: I guess we have no rules about that, so go ahead.
[01:08:38] Speaker C: The character played by Stubby Kay sings a song honoring the hero of Dogpatch. Yes. Who was the Confederate officer that they honored?
[01:08:48] Speaker B: She said, I thought you were going to ask me who Stubby Case character was. That was Marion Sam.
But the.
[01:08:54] Speaker C: The Confederate officer, he's mentioned frequently in the play.
[01:08:58] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I remember the play. It had a great musical score, too. Had a jazz. Jazz album came out of the score. Was he mentioned frequently in a comic strip?
[01:09:08] Speaker C: No, I don't believe so.
[01:09:11] Speaker B: I don't remember.
[01:09:12] Speaker C: Jubilation. Tv Corn pole.
[01:09:14] Speaker B: That's right. Yeah, that's right. I should have known that. Jubilation. T. Corn pone. Those are the kind of names Al Capp used to dream up for his characters. Funny, comic strip. Okay, we ask you something now. What category do you want?
[01:09:25] Speaker C: How about musical comedy?
[01:09:27] Speaker B: Okay, we're gonna stick with musical comedy, then. Okay. Is there a rule about that?
I think. I think there is, but we'll do it. We'll go ahead with it anyway. Norma shuffled the same four pages around 400 times tonight. And he hopes to that there's a question that he didn't see before. Okay, here's one that I didn't see before.
Although his main love was classical music, he was successful in the theater with his musical works for on the on the Town, Candide, west side Story, Wonderful Town. Who are we talking about?
[01:10:00] Speaker C: Leonard Bernstein.
[01:10:02] Speaker B: Leonard Bernstein is correct. You win. You win, you devil.
[01:10:05] Speaker C: And I was half concentrating here. I'm redoing all our books because the auditors are coming in tomorrow and I can still win
[01:10:14] Speaker B: if they'll see you on Just. If they came in right this minute, heard you on the phone answering questions. Austin radio station, the IRS is closed at this hour. No, they would exonerate. They would exonerate. Yeah, they would exonerate you. They'd say, this Guy can't be all that bad. Hey, stay tuned and we'll take your name and address and send you some pretty little piece of garbage.
But thanks a lot for calling.
Right now, it is time to check the news, Kids.
Spooky World. Just minutes from Boston in Berlin, Massachusetts. Friday, October 1st. Join us if you dare.
Okay, let's get back to the music quiz, and we'll be around for a little bit longer. Ed Mullen and Tony Nesbitt. I'm afraid Uncle Norman and Jack Hart. That kind of scares you, that whole thing.
Okay, and take a category when you. You call. And be sure to have a question ready for us. Because if you answer the first question correctly, we'll be calling on you to ask us a question. Whether it be rock or a musical comedy or jazz or big bands, whatever. Bob in New Hampshire. Hi, Bob.
[01:11:18] Speaker C: Good morning.
[01:11:19] Speaker B: What category would you like? Big Bob.
[01:11:21] Speaker C: Let's try rock and roll.
[01:11:22] Speaker B: Rock and roll.
[01:11:23] Speaker D: Rock and roll. Coming up in Arlo Guthrie's song called the City of New. The City of New Orleans.
How far does the train go in one day?
[01:11:33] Speaker C: Oh.
[01:11:37] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know.
[01:11:41] Speaker C: Hundred miles?
[01:11:42] Speaker D: No, sorry.
[01:11:43] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:11:44] Speaker D: Okay.
[01:11:44] Speaker B: Thanks for trying, Bob. How about Greg? Oh, in Kentucky. Where in Kentucky are you, Greg?
[01:11:50] Speaker C: I'm in Lancaster.
[01:11:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. We talked a little while ago.
[01:11:54] Speaker C: We did?
[01:11:55] Speaker B: No, we didn't talk a little while ago. Well, that's right. I was thinking we did, but now I remember we didn't.
[01:12:01] Speaker C: I just woke up. We may have. I don't.
[01:12:03] Speaker B: Okay, what category would you like?
[01:12:05] Speaker C: Well, I was gonna say rock, but you had that Arlo Guthrie thing. As long as it's not Arlo Guthrie,
[01:12:09] Speaker B: I'll do the wrong.
[01:12:11] Speaker D: Okay, I'll throw another one at you. Here's another one for you.
Chuck Berry recorded all of his hits on one record label. Can you name that record label?
[01:12:21] Speaker B: All with the same melody?
[01:12:24] Speaker C: I should know this because I work for an oldies station, but sadly, I do not know.
Can I get something for being real far away?
[01:12:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:36] Speaker E: No.
[01:12:36] Speaker B: I tell you what. We'll hold John a little longer. Only from long enough for me to ask what's. What oldies station do you work for? Where is it?
[01:12:43] Speaker C: It's here in Lancaster. It's 105.1 FM. WRNZ.
[01:12:49] Speaker B: WRNZ.
Letters stand for anything. Or did they stand for anything at one time?
[01:12:54] Speaker C: Well, it used to stand for Rock and Easy, but then we changed format, so.
[01:12:58] Speaker B: So now it just kind of hangs there. Were they thinking of changing the call letters?
[01:13:03] Speaker C: Pardon?
[01:13:03] Speaker B: Were they thinking of changing the call letters? Because Stations do that about every other day. Usually. Usually once before lunch and then during the early evening.
[01:13:12] Speaker C: No, not really. Because I work pretty well established with everyone around here and if we changed it, just be too dramatic and everyone die or something.
[01:13:19] Speaker B: Do you like the new format?
Have you adjusted to it?
[01:13:23] Speaker C: Yeah, pretty much. It was changed, you know, two or three years ago, but.
[01:13:27] Speaker B: Oh, I see. It's been. Been the new format, so it's not really a brand new.
Can you give us an exam? You're.
[01:13:33] Speaker C: You're on the air, apparently on Saturday nights. Yeah.
[01:13:37] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:13:37] Speaker C: Request.
[01:13:37] Speaker B: Can you give us. Can you give us an example of your call letters? The station break.
[01:13:44] Speaker C: Well, just not really. I don't know. What. What do you want now?
[01:13:48] Speaker B: What do you say when you're giving a station break? Is there any special way you do it? Like, hey, we're right here in Lancaster, the elastic stocking capital of the world. Broadcasting the only station for your Lancaster High School football games at WRNZ 105.1. Hey, you do anything, you know, exotic like that?
[01:14:07] Speaker C: Well, usually I just. Come on, you know. This is Greg, your request man. Hero 1051, WRNZ, your good times and great oldie station.
[01:14:14] Speaker B: You sound very good.
[01:14:15] Speaker D: The request man.
[01:14:17] Speaker C: Thank you. I am the request man. Request and dedication. Yeah, it's.
[01:14:21] Speaker E: We're.
[01:14:21] Speaker C: We're Lancaster, Danville. So I don't know if you've heard of either.
[01:14:24] Speaker B: Of course, it's Saturday night. Of course it's dedication. Yeah. Lancaster and. Yeah, and Danville. You're right. In Amish country.
Well, you get a lot of. You get a lot of calls from people with. With big broad hats and long sideburns. I think that's Ohio or Pennsylvania. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm thinking of the wrong.
[01:14:39] Speaker C: Pennsylvania. One of the two. No.
[01:14:40] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. You're in Kentucky. Excuse me?
[01:14:43] Speaker C: Yeah, we're just the middle of nowhere. Well, we're not really the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here.
[01:14:50] Speaker B: Hey, Greg, thanks a lot for the call. Good luck to you.
[01:14:52] Speaker C: Thanks a lot.
[01:14:52] Speaker B: Take care. Bye.
[01:14:53] Speaker C: Bye.
[01:14:54] Speaker B: Sounds like a nice man. Dan in Metford. Hi, Dan.
[01:14:57] Speaker C: Hi. How you know? How you doing?
[01:14:58] Speaker B: Good, thanks.
[01:15:00] Speaker C: I'd like to pick rock and roll.
Very general category, but no. Allo.
[01:15:05] Speaker B: Got three, please.
[01:15:07] Speaker C: Fine. I mean, how about Massachusetts for Boston Rock?
[01:15:11] Speaker D: Well, I can't be that specific, but I do have another question for you.
[01:15:14] Speaker C: All right.
[01:15:16] Speaker D: You're familiar with that song by Anne Murray called Could I have this Dance for the Rest of My Life?
Okay.
[01:15:26] Speaker C: Are you Going.
[01:15:27] Speaker D: You can send the audition tapes to the station.
[01:15:29] Speaker E: We'll.
[01:15:30] Speaker D: We'll look at all the contestants.
[01:15:31] Speaker B: Jack Hart is our chief judge.
[01:15:33] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[01:15:35] Speaker B: By the way, he's just smiling just so broadly there.
[01:15:38] Speaker D: Well, that song had come from a big hit movie in 1980. Can you name the movie?
[01:15:43] Speaker C: Oh, terrible with movies. Can I have this? Can I just pass you on this all the rest of the. From the movie. Oh, God.
I thought the category was rock, but
[01:15:59] Speaker B: I suppose it's a rock song from a movie.
[01:16:02] Speaker C: From a movie.
[01:16:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I think. You know what the trouble is, Dan? I think. I think Ed hates you. Oh, no, I never met the man.
[01:16:10] Speaker C: I have no reason to do that. Okay, if you're better. Me? Never.
[01:16:16] Speaker D: Another one.
[01:16:18] Speaker B: Want to do another one then? Because that's a movie. You're asking for a movie tower rather than a song or a performer. I just made up that rule. I keep changing rules as we go along. Okay, another question.
[01:16:28] Speaker D: Okay. This is in molecular biology.
[01:16:30] Speaker C: All right.
I don't think I saw a lot of movies that year.
[01:16:37] Speaker B: Yeah, no, this is a slide film called the Romance of Molecular Biology. But it had a great love scene.
[01:16:44] Speaker C: Yeah. All right.
But I know 80 was a bad year for me in movies. Wow.
[01:16:49] Speaker D: Okay, here we go.
Name two out of three if you can. I'm gonna name the title and you tell me who is the singer, who's a group.
Here we go. The first one. The Stray Cat Strut.

[01:17:03] Speaker D: Okay. Nashville Cats.
[01:17:05] Speaker C: Nashville Cats.
