From Quiz 10,000 Maniacs: 40 Years of Mania

Answer: Still Life

The closest "major" city to Jamestown is the Lake Erie port city of Erie, Pennsylvania, about 45 miles away, with Buffalo (NY) about 70 miles distant and Cleveland (OH) and Pittsburgh (PA) about 150 miles. Despite Jamestown's and the region's ties to the Chautauqua movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area has become better known in recent years as Lucy's hometown, and the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum is located in Jamestown. But another big tourist attraction is the infamous and bizarre "Scary Lucy" statue in the neighboring town of Celeron (where Lucy grew up) in 2009. Although a replacement statue that looked much more like Lucy was commissioned and installed in 2016, the original statue had become such a tourist attraction that it was also retained, although relocated 75 yards away from its replacement.

From Quiz Robin Trower. One Of The Greats

Answer: The Paramounts

The Paramounts were a UK beat group primarily known as being the fore-runner to Procol Harum. The beginnings of the band are not very clear. They were either a band originating as "The Raiders" in 1959 (which included future Procol Harum band members Chris Copping & Robin Trower) that was formed while the members were at secondary school OR they were one of rock music's first "manufactured" bands formed by the organizers of a band competition who formed a band using the best musicians participating in the contest and called "The Paramounts". The first line up of the actual Paramounts included Chris Copping, Robin Trower & Gary Brooker. Gigs were difficult for them to get as Gary Brooker was only 14 years old at the time, so shows first occurred at Robin Trower's father's cafe, which eventually became "The Shades Club". BJ Wilson eventually joined the band as their drummer and their musical direction changed from R&B to soul. By 1963 they were playing London more frequently, where they were eventually signed to the Parlophone label who released the band's first single - a cover of the classic "Poison Ivy". The single actually charted, reaching Number 35 on the UK Singles Chart which in turn led to TV appearances (notably 'Ready Steady Go'). While their second and third singles failed to chart, the B side of their third single featured a track entitled "It Won't Be Long". This song was the first song written by Trower & Brooker to be released. The band disbanded in 1966.
