Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we’ll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "April Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways@si.edu by May 1, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!
April Question: Louis Armstrong was such a major figure that he had two nicknames! What are they?
Congratulations to last month's winner, Gordon from Alberta, Canada, who correctly answered "the national bird of Guatemala" to the question "Quetzal and the group's co-founder, Quetzal Flores, are named for what kind of animal?" |
