Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "March Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways@si.edu by March 31, 2011, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!
March Question: Before becoming a jazz legend, this saxophonist first worked as a dishwasher at “Jimmie’s Chicken Shack” so that he could hear pianist Art Tatum perform. Hint: Both Tatum and this month’s answer appear on disc 2 of JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology.
Congratulations to last month's winner, Stephanie from Bethesda, Md, who correctly answered "I’ll Sing a Song and You’ll Sing a Song" to the question: "What is the name of Ella Jenkins’ most widely recognized song, which was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2007?"
