Encore Question of November 13, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing at a table with The Regulars team as none of my teammates at the bar turned up. I thought we were going to just blast through this game but 'too many cooks' even though there were only four of us and we're doing about the same as any other week. My game so far had gone like this:
Tune-Up....3500/5000...3rd/14 in seven way tie...CYCLER and PLBAAB win round. OnBeat...11250/14000...5th/14...MOLSON and VIKING in lead with 12750. JukeBox...16971/20000...5th/11...KELLY wins round. Triviaoke...22426/28000...5th/11...KELLY wins round.
The Encore answers are all music styles. I think my book won't help me tonight! Well safety in numbers, we're all in for 50% and have the leading seven boards at the bar.
Question:...The Bristol Sessions are legendary in the history of __________ music.
Well none of us know this one off the bat. Bristol is in England but I've never heard of any meeting to plan out British Pop music. Irish folks wouldn't like England would they? Cajun may be good. Wouldn't Country be the least likely answer? Yeah then this is probably what it'll be. Well they never have '2' for an answer in a year? I'm talking this out with the team and at the end switch to 'Country' not too confidently.
Correct Answer:...1 Country
[NTN extra fact:...Recorded on location they produced the first recordings of Jimmy Rodgers and The Carters].
I'm right and win with 33639 points. I finish 6th on The Network Top 20 board (20th overall). The bar is 12th in North America with a 15965 average. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeting this week's 15000 standard. We notice Regulars player Joe ENIGMA finished 7th on the Network board playing at Hurricanes in Toronto. I don't jump up and cheer for winning as it's by accident that I've crossed my teammates up. I don't think I'll be invited back!
