Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a
trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the
subject "May Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways_at_si_dot_edu by May 10,
and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free
CD of his or her choice!
This Month's Question: Louis Armstrong was such a major figure
that he had several nicknames! What are his two most well-known
nicknames?
Congratulations to last
month's winner, Gordon from Alberta, Canada, who correctly answered "the national bird of
Guatemala" to the question "Quetzal and the group's co-founder,
Quetzal Flores, are named for what kind of animal?"
