Trivia - Answer then ask new question

This is my question (I typed it up above, too)....

What time does Billy Joel's "Piano Man" start?

Who was BLIND BOY GRUNT?

The pride of Bemidgi, Minnesota, the now 61-year-old son of Mr. & Mrs. Zimmerman. Bobby assumed the psuedonym for a few more or less impromptu recordings on the Broadside label in the early 'Sixties (recordings which included as co-performers The Farinas, Pete Seeger, and numerous other Folk and Blues legends), as his contractual obligations to Columbia prohibited him from recording under his more common psuedonym for any other label. If I recall correctly, there was an album of this material, perhaps two, released around '63, attributed to "Blind Boy Grunt and The Hawks". The music therein was notable primarily for who performed it, not how it was performed. The Production Value was relatively unsophisticated even for the time.

The short answer: Bob Dylan.


When and where did Janis Joplin make her last appearance with Big Brother and The Holding Company?

{Hey Phoenix, you're supposed to ask a question now!}

As far as I can research Monday Morning
Blues, it does seem Mississippi John Hurt
wrote and recorded it. The only other
artist mention WRT this song is Kokomo
Arnold, but that is way later on.
EB I can hardly believe that Gene Autry
did that song. Good job EB!!!

can't hardly wait to see what the next
song will be

I suppose I'm jumping the line here, but, relating to an earlier couple of posts in which it was established "Running Bear" was performed by Johnny Preston ... another well-known singer, a giant of early Rock'n'Roll, wrote, but apparently never performed, that song. Here's a two parter:

1) What was the real name of the author?

2) Under what stage name did the author perform?

BTW ... I happen to think "Running Bear" may well be the worst pop song of The Latter Twentieth Century and as yet unchallenged, though the genre - "Dead Teenager" songs - offers many strong candidates for the position



timber

-Words and Music by J P Richardson (The Big Bopper) -background sounds by Richardson and George Jones

Patsy Cline sang but did not like the song so she did it in one take.

What is the song and who wrote it?

Gots to be CRAZY by Willie Nelson.


Which big hit by Fats Domino did he not want to record? He told the producer, after an argument: "Get it in one take because I'm never singing it again." He plowed through it, getting words wrong, not caring. It sold almost as well as BLUEBERRY HILL and BLUE MONDAY.

maxsdadeo- It was almost 2 in the morning. I love this site, but I was falling asleep at my keyboard!

Anyhow- Next Q-

The colloquial name for policeman was named after a person. In what country was this, what is the colloquial name, and who was the person for whom it was named?

Phoenix, think I found your answer... England, Bobby, Sir Robert Peel.





Edgar, me thinks you should change the title for this topic to "Musical Trivia - Answer then ask new question" or something like that if ya want to keep it clear.

-- What thinkest thou, people, should I post the answer here to my question from yesterday?

Monger- Right yer are! Peel founded the Metropolitan Police Force in 1829!

Okay okay, to keep it moving right along an' all...

Q: Which group has the most consecutive No. 1 singles of all time, in any country?
Answer: Japanese popstar boy band KinKi Kids, acknowledged by the Guinness Book Of Records when they got their 13th consecutive No. 1 single!




I dunno the answers to the others here, but here's one more musical trivia question to add to the mix:

Which world-famous rock band's standard performance contract called for them to be provided with a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed??

I know this one, have been to there concerts, guessing it is either Yes or ELP.

Which R&R band's drummer plays in a renowned symphony when the band is not on tour?

JD, it's neither Yes nor ELP, but you very well may have been to the correct band's concerts.

Hi Monger.... is the answer to the M&M's question..... Van Halen???

Van Halen it is!

Anyone who thinks this is utterly bizarre read this.
