23 I get definitely get. And so does Bill D. I'm pretty sure Nancy King and I have heard him sing it accompanying himself on autoharp. And he does a third verse Charlie Poole doesn't do--but it's a great verse. Last Sunday I sang the song at our local farmer's market with a guy called the Banjo Man. After all, the event in question in the song is somewhat local.

And 19 I get. This guy is quite famous--everybody has probably heard of him. And there's quite a controversy as to whether the bones brought back from Paris are his or somebody else's.

I could guess at the instrument in number 18--but not very confidently.

But nothing else.

But the whole quiz sounds just wonderful--just the kind of knowledge it's great fun to know--can hardly wait for the answers.
