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:
