Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14149 Registered: Dec-04 | Welcome agian friends, to the 5th trivia show for Ecoustics. This years event will feature prizes, and possibly links to leggy showgirls, but nothing for you again, but for a charity of your choice. For anyone unfamililiar with the format, please use the search function. This years event is going to ask for some involvement. I would ask you all to send me quality questions to be asked this year, and with a musical context. I will use 5 of the questions, each one worth 50$ to your charity of choice. I can google as well, but I would like some sort of question that has a musical purpose to you each. If you would like to include a quip, quote or link to a musical review, feel free. I will steal it all to post here, no names, just fun. Christmas stories especially welcomed. So please send your queries (and answers!) to me, so I can line up this year's charity game. Jamie |

|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3419 Registered: Feb-07 | I'd suggest a few questions Nuck, but I'm afraid that my musical tastes run a little too far of left field for most members here to be familiar with. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2879 Registered: Jun-07 | Bring it!!! lol |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14157 Registered: Dec-04 | I will accept any input offered, so go ahead, David. Anybody can google an answer, LOL! Be sure to include the answer for me! |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14182 Registered: Dec-04 | Thank you guys for the submissions thus far. I would like a pile of these to add to my own, so please make suggestions. I am counting on some long-timers to help out! Dont make me email you! leo |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14221 Registered: Dec-04 | I am still accepting assistance for questions! The quiz and prizes for charity begin tomorrow at sunrise(somewhere), and will be as spotty as I am able to answer, LOL! |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3448 Registered: Feb-07 | How many questions have you compiled Nuck? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14222 Registered: Dec-04 | If it comes down to Alvin and the chipmunks, then I would say not enough! |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14230 Registered: Dec-04 | Welcome everyone. I would like to thank my friends for helping me when I needed it, and for kicking my rear when I needed that too. It has been a vey good year here in Nuckland, as things normalize into somesort of cohesive operation, and my hifi is juuust about ready to show. In appreciation of my success, I pull a 'hat's off' to my friends and perhaps the Great Pumpkin, who knows? Having been able to satisy my usual charities, here is a chance for you all to get a little help to YOUR charities. Each correct answer will be rewarded 50$ to the charity of your choice. As much as possible, I will post or send confirmation of the donation, barring CC#'s. The charity of your choice can be posted, or emailed to me to fulfill. So, with that said, here we go... What jamming, loose band provided the Chipmunks with their Chipmunk/Christmas voices and sound? |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3452 Registered: Feb-07 | You weren't joking about the Chimpmunks, lol... |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14237 Registered: Dec-04 | No, I am deadly serious when it comes to the Chipmunks, fellas... |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3453 Registered: Feb-07 | Seeing how you're deadly serious about this, I'll take a crack at it. According to my research into this subject, in 1968 Canned Heat teamed up with the 'munks to record a Christmas song. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14239 Registered: Dec-04 | And that would be correct, David. Name your charity. http://www.rufrecords.de/catalogue/1135_canned-heat-christmas-album.html further info... |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3454 Registered: Feb-07 | Cool! I'm going to choose CHEO (Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario) due to the fantastic care my son recently received there. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14240 Registered: Dec-04 | Done, I will send the info along to you, David. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3455 Registered: Feb-07 | Thanks Nuck. You're a good egg. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14241 Registered: Dec-04 | How many Robert Johnson songs have The Rolling Stones covered on studio recorded albums? Name the songs and album(s). Good luck! |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14242 Registered: Dec-04 | And another one to ponder... This song was originally a poem written by singer/songwriter Lori Lieberman, and became a big hit for Roberta Flack. Name the song. Lori was motivated to write the poem after seeing a concert by whom? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2896 Registered: Jun-07 | Nuck- Going to take a stab at the last question there. I am probably wrong, but here it goes: Was it - "Killing Me Softly With His Song" which was written by Lori Lieberman and was a huge hit for Roberta Flack in 1973? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2897 Registered: Jun-07 | The concert she saw was McLean in 1971 |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2898 Registered: Jun-07 | sorry, Don McLean. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14243 Registered: Dec-04 | That is the answer that I was looking for Nick, well done! You are the biggest Flack fan out there...or you Googled, LOL! Name or send me your charity! |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14244 Registered: Dec-04 | Another Q while we wait on the Stones/.Johnson. This is an American-linked music question for the historians out there. What musical instrument, invented by an American founding father, was featured in a Sandra Bullock movie? For 'Extra Credit', name the American and the film! |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2899 Registered: Jun-07 | I am a huge Flack fan Nuck - lol I would like to also have it go to CHEO (Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario) for all their hard work and great service they provided David with. Cheers. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14246 Registered: Dec-04 | I will forward the donation in appreciation of the care that the Hospital will offer to your new family, Nick. God bless that you shall never need their help, but it is always comforting to know that people love the kids as much as you both do. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14247 Registered: Dec-04 | This one goes to neo-natal care. |
|

|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14250 Registered: Dec-04 | You have the receipt, CM. Nobody going to google the Stones/Johnson? Well we will let that one ride and heres the next one. JV should know the metalhead answers. Who played bass on the SexPistols "Never Mind the Bollocks" album? This is a tricky one, with the usual SexPistols drama inluded, so research carefully, as the correct answer may be a bit convoluted. Good luck! |
|
Silver Member Username: MagfanUSA Post Number: 709 Registered: Oct-07 | Christopher:: That was TOO easy! I didn't think anyone would answer. Well done on the charity, too. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14251 Registered: Dec-04 | What a wonderful instrument it is! Just ethereal in the sound. Thanks for the question, Leo, and a reason to look at it sommore. |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyFort Hamilton, NY United States Post Number: 3127 Registered: Oct-04 | I actually knew the instrument & Franklin, had to Google the rest. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14253 Registered: Dec-04 | I am never surprised at the knowledge and abilities of the forum. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14254 Registered: Dec-04 | Jeez guys, Robert Johnson only had 29 songs.... |

|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14260 Registered: Dec-04 | The Bullocks question remains, but lemme see if I can dig up an un-google-able question here. Send em to me! Mind busters! for extra charity! |
|
Gold Member Username: Jazzman71Phoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1031 Registered: Dec-07 | OK, assuming I'm not ineligible, On "Never Mind the Bollocks-Here's the Sex Pistols", bass duties were performed by Steve Jones, with the exception of "An@rchy in the U.K." where Glen Matlock played bass. Although Sid Vicious was rumored to have played in the mix on "Bodies", he is not credited with being on the album. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14261 Registered: Dec-04 | Gotta spread it around Neil, I never did the fine print, hehe. You have the answer, for sure, and what a cluster for that recording that turned out so well! I will find one more... |
|
Gold Member Username: Jazzman71Phoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1032 Registered: Dec-07 | That's cool. I'll watch and enjoy. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14262 Registered: Dec-04 | The drummer for Bon Jovi has played for years in a band with a classic 50's artist, and still does. Name all involved. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3458 Registered: Feb-07 | Good job Nick. Thanks for choosing CHEO, and thanks again Nuck. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2900 Registered: Jun-07 | Thanks Nuck!! Your a good guy. No problem David, no brain'r as my unborn child may need services one day as well. You just never know. Cheers. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14263 Registered: Dec-04 | Y'all wanna put this to bed so I can do the same? Bon Jovi drummer and drummer for a huge 50's bandleader? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14266 Registered: Dec-04 | Beulher? Beuhler? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2901 Registered: Jun-07 | I already got one Nuck and can only check the internet for a few minutes as I at my Dads all week in Cordova (boonies) and only have Dial up here.LOL Dial up man....dial up!!!! Do you want me to answer this one people? Art? Wodek? Get that Google bar warmed up. Come on!!lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 2262 Registered: May-06 | I guess I am just slow on the uptake. It is a no brainer that Torres is the Bon Jovi drummer but the 50's Bandleader is a different Tito and there is no reference to Torres playing with anyone other than Phantom's Opera whom he is no longer listed as a current member of. I suppose you need to be related to him to be able to figure this one out. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 14282 Registered: May-04 | . This is my busy time of year so I can give this one shot. According to DrummerWorld Tico Torres plays on occasion with Chuck Berry; "His studio and live experience with Frankie and the Knockouts, Pat Benatar, Chuck Berry, Cher, Alice Cooper, and Stevie Nicks helped to establish him as a first call player." http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Tico_Torres.html . |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14268 Registered: Dec-04 | Thats what I was looking for JV. Perhaps a stretch as a regular with CB, but there he is nontheless. A very talented musician, so I wanted to get him in there as a finale. Post or send me your charity, JV. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 14283 Registered: May-04 | . Too many needy organizations to choose from in this economy. Normally I would choose an animal related group but this year the dollars just aren't coming in fast enough for the North Texas Food Bank; http://www.ntfb.org/ People of all ages are going hungry, send them my share. And thank you for doing so, Nuck. . |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 2263 Registered: May-06 | A hearty congrats and thank you to Jamie for another year of giving to so many and allowing us to have fun with it at the same time. Cheers! |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14271 Registered: Dec-04 | Thank you all for playing along, and for contributing to this years effort. My wishes to all for a very good new year. Jamie |
