Blues Trivia
Hi! Blues fans. This is the first edition of Blues Trivia. I decided that this set of questions would feature performers who played the area this year. I’ll start easy and mix some tougher ones. See how you do. Don
Johnny Winter played his slide guitar to a large cheering crowd at Heritage Blues Fest this year. What is his brother’s name and what instrument does he play?
This Pittsburgh favorite came to Moondog’s this summer. He was lead guitarist for Canned Heat in the 70’s and played guitar for John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers in the 80’s. Who is he?
Speaking of Canned Heat-This performer at Heritage fest this year was the roommate of Henry Vestine, the original guitarist from Canned Heat. They both drank more than their share but he able to finish his master’s degree at the same time. He is also a member of MENSA because of his high IQ. Who is he?
Tommy Castro played at the Rex and also at Pittsburgh Blues Fest. He was kind enough to stop and visit us (BSWPA) both times. He has won several awards. An important one was being named “__-American” man of the year. The Blank represents his heritage. What is it? (Ex. African-American)
This Chicago blues great who played at Moondog’s this year, got his name from his Indian heritage and a take-off on Muddy Waters’ name. Who is he?
Another famous visitor to Moondog’s this year was Jimi Hendrix’s brother-in-law. Who was he?
Tinsley Ellis, a favorite of mine, visited Moondog’s and Heritage fest. His bass player has an unusual moniker. What strange name does he go by?
Coco Montoya visited Pittsburgh’s Rex Theater. Known for his bouncy blues guitar licks, he got his start in the blues circuit as a drummer for what blues legend?
Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, legendary blues harp player, who played Moondog’s also got his break as a drummer for a blues great. Who was it?
Pittsburgh Blues Fest featured a trio of siblings from Mississippi called Homemade Jamz. The two brothers played unusual homemade guitar and bass. What were they made from?
Good luck! I hope that you learned a thing or two. Don Vecchio
