Name That Tune Trivia – May 17
Music Trivia Night
7:30 pm
30 Songs thru 30 Years
From 1950 to 1979
It’s more than music trivia… It’s more than “Name That Tune”…
You’ll be taking a fantastic journey through musical history and each of the thirty stops along the way will broaden your knowledge, delight you eardrums and some will even have your toes tapping. For each of the tunes presented during the show, you’ll be given the artist and the year the song came out and asked to give the song title. Many of the choices will be quite familiar others perhaps not. In either case, the song will be played through and there will be a number of clues given. A blank answer sheet will be provided, and you’ll be asked to fill in your selections. After all thirty tunes are presented we’ll tally the results. A perfect score would be 30 points. The night’s winner will receive a $75.00 gift packet for the P. Buckley Moss Museum. There will also be other prizes throughout the evening.
The major goal of the show will be to HAVE FUN! and enjoy the evening’s entertainment. The hope is that you’ll come away with having learned some songs and/or artists that you’ll now really enjoy. You’ll also be reminded of tunes out of your past that you’ve perhaps not heard since they were originally aired.
Background
My name is Paul Sanders, born in Waynesboro, Va. I bought my first 45 rpm record in 1956 at the age of 14. The difference between then and now is that I now get my music from the iTunes store and play them on my smart iphone. I started DJing in 1968 and still have a gig every once and a while. My passion is music and I listen to just about every genre that’s out there. Tonight’s show will highlight that diversity, so sit back, open your ears and your mind and ENJOY!
