Well all-right Mr. Sparty-Pants Khing Khernoodle. Let's try a REAL quiz this time! Hah! Let the battle of the kwizzes begin! No more "Hotel California" questions allowed!


1. Name at least three songs from the late 60's/early 70's whose titles refer to street names for LSD. ("Lucy in the Sky" ain't one of 'em.)

2. Two well-known acoustic guitar models were made by rival companies as the signature guitars for two well-known singing cowboys. What are the guitars and who were the cowboys? For extra credit, what was the more famous of the two cowboys biggest hit and who wrote it? Surprise!

3. For many years, rock guitarist Ted Nugent played a guitar model more commonly associated with jazz players. What was it?

4. What has been an item of English bluesman John Mayall's onstage attire since the 60's. (Don't be a smart-ass and answer "pants".)

5. Two late 60's/early 70's Florida garage bands of note were "The Second Coming" and "The One Percent". What did they change their names to.

6. True or false?   Eric Clapton is the only member of Derek and the Dominoes who is still alive, and not in a prison or a mental institution.

7. Frank Zappa's father was A) a symphony conductor B) a high school teacher C) a policeman D) Zappa never knew his father.

8. What noted guitarist auditioned for Linda Ronstadt's band and was told that the audition was over when he put a capo on his guitar?

9. John Hartford was well-known for dancing on an amplified stomp-box while playing the fiddle. What electronic device, more commonly associated with rock guitarists, did he incorporate into the amplification to give the stomp-box its unique sound?

10. Where and on what date was the largest assembled crowd to ever see and hear Jimi Hendrix perform live. (Hint: It wasn't Woodstock. Lots of people had already left Woodstock before Jimi ever got on stage.)

I ain't gonna play no "first person to get 'em all right gets a crappy little demo tape of my song about th' night I picked up Jesus while he was hitchin' down Interstate 10" games. Anybody get's 'em all right gets a free weekend at the Sandy Landing Yacht and Racquet Club! (Transportation and meals not included. Bring your own tent.)
