thebes Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 got me on that one. I resisted the temptation to google for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 That guy looks a bit like Nipsy Russell, but I don't think he was a musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 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!".

thebes Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thebes says; "I was there (Woodstock) and it was something else to wake up to." That sure explains A LOT! Did you take the little blue pill? They were bad you know? Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
