Lets take KenT and Karyobin's idea and work with it. Trivia rules are easy. Answer the question correctly(confirmed by the person who asked the question) and you get to ask the next question.
Kind Of a roundrobin

Cool idea but your first question sure is a tough one!

How about a hint. For example, a key bandmember of this punk band?

[kenT]

Screwtop, please excuse my ignorance, but I was wondering what a punk band is... Is it a band where they wear certain kind of hair style and/or play certain kind of music.

kenT

[Screwtop Wine]

KenT, in this case, a punk band would be for style and era of music. late '70's, earlier '80's
punk/new wave band along the lines of Elvis Costello, Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc.

Hint... The only band that matters

[kenT]

Thank you for the kind explanation Screwtop. I now look forward to knowing the answer to your trivia!

Here's a shot at your trivia question:

Are you referring to The Clash's cover of the song "Junco Partner" from the "Sandinista!" album? Though Longhair did record this song, he definitely wasn't the first as it is an old New Orleans standard. Champion Jack Dupree also covered this song on his landmark recording "Blues From The Gutter" and Tuts Washington was playing this long before 'Fess got a hold of it. In fact, I believe that Tuts claims he taught the song to Longhair in the film "Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together."

Argh! you stole my guess before I had a chance to post it Slim, hehehe. Actually, I thought that the Clash cover was Police on my back from that Sandinista! album,... but I think you do indeed have the right answer.

Oh well...

Cheers,

p.s. looking forward to a trivia question from Slim! :-)

[Slim Lively]

Okay, I'll assume that this was the right answer since 'Fess did record that same song. My mind is a little blank at the moment to come up with a trivia question, but here's a shot, hope it's not too simple:

Cornelius Green got an early boost in his performing career playing guitar alongside Phillip Walker in the zydeco band led by Clifton Chenier. Green went on to become an extremely productive songwriter/performer in his own right. What is the better known name that he recorded under?

Slim

[Karyobin]

Slim I think you're looking for Lonsome Sundown who recorded 'My Home Is A Prison' & 'Lonsome Lonely Blues'

Lonesome Sundown, as Karyobin said (minus the "e" in Lonesome hehehe...

[Muddy Lives]

Lonesome Sundown is a fine underrated blues artist. In fact, as much as I like Lightnin' Slim, Slim Harpo, and Silas Hogan, I think that I listen to Lonesome Sundown more often than any other Excello blues artist. There is something about the mood of his performances that really sits well with me.

We are fortunate that Ace records has finally issued a definitive disk of his recordings "I'm a Mojo Man." For many years, all that were available of these sides were often inferior outtakes on Flyright records.

Lonesome Sundown's comeback LP for Alligator is also smokin'.

Next trivia question:

One of the blues numbers that Eric Clapton loves to play is "Worried Life Blues." This song is usually associated with the great Chicago pianist, Big Maceo Merriweather. In fact, Clapton introduces the song at concerts as written by Big Maceo. But he is not really correct. Big Maceo got the music and most of the lyrics of this song from whom?

I think Sleepy John Estes from 'Crying the blues'.

Here's a great piece of trivia I picked up a couple of days ago.

What is the inscription on Blind Willie McTell's gravestone and what is so wrong about it?
