February 18th - Give the Drummer Some

The No Wave Hookers win again.

The 4 Topics were:
1. Nights on Broadway (show tunes)
2. Handout Round - Give the Drummer Some (a quiz about drummers)
3. Audio Round - Mamas and the Papas (all the songs referenced mothers and fathers)
4. Events in Music History

We had 2 guest contributors: my wife, who did the Broadway round, and Jon Wurster, who did the Drummer round.

Here are a few of the questions:

1. In a recent episode of Reno 911, Lt. Dangle stated that Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics to West Side Story. Was he correct or incorrect?

3. Who not only invented multitrack recording, but also played on the first commercial release of a multitrack recording in 1947?
4. Thomas Edison’s reading of what nursery rhyme was the first successful phonograph recording?
5. Tone-Loc’s 1989 hit “Wild Thing” contains a drum sample taken from what classic hard rock song?
