These questions were posed in the Live Shows calendars (the associated date in parenthesis). I don't try to ask extremely obscure questions, rather I stick to more significant connection and/or "historical" type questions - trivia doesn't have to be trivial. At this point no prizes are offered - other than the sense of pride in knowing the correct answers :-)

If ya can donate prizes (recordings, discounts, tickets, free/reduced admission, food, equipment, whatever) out of the goodness of yer heart or in support of any support Cringe, Live Shows and their readers give you (Politican - off Businessman - off), let me know. If ya have some local music related trivia, I could use that too. - Joel

3. What is Don B's favorite song and on what record is his mug featured? (May 24, 1996)
   ANSWER: Don B. is the 54 year young guy you've probably seen do "Batman" with tons of bands. He also does "Gabba Gabba Hey" and "Louie Louie." Then there's the time he did "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" at a Bernie's Karoake night years ago ... Oh, he was on the cover of Shave the Baby - a comp of Datapanik (a local label) 7 inchers.

4. What members of Honk, Wail & Moan (past & present) were/are in Mary Adam 12 (past & present)? (May 27, 1996)
   ANSWER: The Mary Adam 12-Honk, Wail & Moan connections are so numerous that it would probably be easier to list the not-connected. Anyway, MA12's drummer John, guitarist John, sax/flute man Kris and trombonist Brian were all regular members of HW&M at one time or another. MA12 keyboardist Michelle has done some guest vocals. I've seen 'em share a second percussionist recently too. Gus, MA12's one time manager, says all the members have played with HW&M at some point.
