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?"
