Summer Doldrums Music Trivia Thread

Recommended Posts

Yes this joint is quiet, too quiet. Time to wake it up with a mindless little trivia contest. This contest features our favorite pastime when not talking about gear, no not women, music!

Don't be afraid to pose a stumper of your own. I can't do all the thinking around here.

I'll start if off with:

Question: What charachter in the movie "Blazing Saddles" is named after this musician?

I thought his name was Levon....?something

Thebes I never forgot your CD, there sitting right in front of me, I know, it's hard to play from 1000 miles away, they will leave here very soon.

Nope. He was large though.


Mongo?



Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!



Mongo SantaMaria, a gifted percussionist of cuban, latin, jazz beats.
The movie Mongo is named after him, and indeed at one point somebody says
"Mongo's coming" and some fellow shouts out "Santa
Maria!".

Yes indeedie, Richie Havens. Hendrix finished the concert starting his set about 9 in the morning. I was there and it was something else to wake up to.

I've heard this one before, but am just guessing with Bungalow Bill.
