Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 172 - Time for a Name Change
from Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt · host Tony Nesbitt
Hello and welcome back for another episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. Today brings us aa show I’ve titled: “Time for a Name Change.” Why? Because this was before Ed Mullen filed formal papers with legal to change the name to The Swell Music Quiz. For this one it was called: The Dumb Music Trivia Quiz Game. Ric Duarte was producing. There were only TWO categories on this early incarnation of the SMQ: Rock n Roll and Big Bands But later, Darrell Gould joins in with Doo Wop! So the The Panel consisted of: Norm, Ed, Darrell, Jack Harte and much later, I grace the broadcast booth with my presence because I was working some bizarro shift WBZ created when they shifted hours around. There was a 3 hour shift M-F that ran 2-5am. Yeah, try to get up for that one if you fell asleep at home. Did that sound like I was speaking from experience? Maybe. Of course we begin with Ed explaining the rules and then it’s on the callers: Fred from Medford Sean in Cambridge May in Boston! Bill from Chelsea Brian from Newton Arlene in Braintree Kevin from Providence, RI Oakley from Falmouth Joe in Malden Derek in his car…nope, it’s Rick Jim from Somerville John from Hornell, NY Ken in Randolph Joe in Waltham The prophetic Harry from Milford Steve in Brockton Jodie from NY Beth in Michigan Randy from Norton Jerry in Quincy Jonathan from Salem Sean in Chelsea Joe from Chelsea Phil in Newton Joe from Brookline Geri in Clinton Kathy from Quincy John in Natick Mike in Swampscott David from Chelmsford Andrew in Boston Kevin in Malden Geri from Clinton…wait. Again? Warren on the Mass Pike Bob in Fitchburg And Rob from Needham Ep 172, Time for a Name Change, hums its way to your ears, now. Patreon https://www.patreon.com/normnathanvos
