Encore Question of October 6th, 2001.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight our team was a nice big group so we could control the JukeBox category. I had two boards going with ROCKET and LITBOX. Richard BERGIE, Ray MAC, Dave COITIS, Doug CRANKY, Kimmo KAV, Bill MADDOG and Marla ZIGGY were playing.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp....ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/15 in three way tie with MRPINK and ZIGGY. ...........LITBOX...4000/5000...6th/15. OnBeat...ROCKET...9250/14000...2nd/15. MRPINK is in lead by winning round. ...........LITBOX...8250/14000...3rd/15...5 right, 3 wrong, 1 not answered. Jukebox...ROCKET...15250/20000...1st/15...ROCKET and LITBOX wins with perfect round. ...........LITBOX...14250/20000...2nd/15. Triviaoke...ROCKET...21584/28000...1st/15...MAC wins round. ..........LITBOX...20861/28000...2nd/15.
So this question would be about Record Labels. Well I can't bookmark anything but if it's any artist I can flip right to their album listing and find the Label. Something looked familiar about these answers.
Encore Question:...What famous record label was cofounded in the late 1940s by Ahmat Ertegum?

This does look very familiar but I can't think about it right away. [It turned out that this was the same question as the May 5th, 2001 game]. I couldn't think about that while the question was on but I used the same logic as I did in that game to guess it. (ie. Motown =Barry Gordy, the wrong conclusion about Columbia). I was frozen from shouting out the answer but just said what I was picking because I wasn't sure and some friends went down for the count.
Correct Answer:...1. Atlantic
[NTN Extra Fact:...Among his many achievements, Ertegum was credited with finding Ray Charles.]
