Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "November Trivia" to smithsonianfolkways_at_si_dot_edu by Sunday, November 30 and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!

November Question: This Grammy-winning Iroquois singer/guitarist has won more Native American Music awards (11) than any other artist and appears on two Smithsonian Folkways albums - Beautiful Beyond: Christian Songs in Native Languages and Heartbeat: Voices of First Nations Women

Congratulations to last month's winner, Peter from Maitland, FL who correctly answered "Mary Lou Williams" to this question: Which jazz pianist once quipped, "If you only burped, [Folkways] recorded it."
