Last Week’s Rockucation Question:
The band didn’t know it at the time, but the name they picked for themselves from a key ring they found in their rehearsal space was an actual person. The band, who originated in South Carolina found the key chain and decided to go with it as their name. The actual person was a blind person who tuned pianos at the space they rented. A promoter gave them an hour to come up with a name before they performed and that’s how they found it. They opened for The Allman Brothers on their very first tour, but headlined soon after as their self titled debut charted. Who is the band?
Answer:
The Marshall Tucker Band
Winners:
Debbie Epstein, Sarasota, FL and Nina McCarthy, Westerly, RI.
This week’s Rockucation question is:
This artist had a bad record contract in the sixties. He was obligated to record 36 songs a year. His contract was bought out by Warner Brothers. He still had to fulfill the contract. In order to end the contractual obligation he recorded 30 songs in one day. He did short out of tune tracks on various subjects. Basically useless to the label but it worked and was freed up from it. The record was never released and his fan refer to the album as “Revenge Songs”. Who is the artist?
