Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!

Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "December Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways_at_si_dot_edu by December 31, 2011, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!

December Question: The Smithsonian Folkways collection contains more than just music. It features hundreds of poetry, interview, nature, and sound effects albums. One example, Jean Shepherd Reads Poems of Robert Service, features Jean Shepherd's eminently recognizable voice. In what perennial Christmas movie is Shepherd's voice heard?

Congratulations to last month's winner, Eric from Gardena, CA, who correctly answered "Arthel ?Doc' Watson" to the question: "Smithsonian Folklife Festival co-founder and Smithsonian Folkways producer Ralph Rinzler helped introduce what now-legendary country musician to the world after meeting him as an electric-guitar-playing sideman in 1960?"
