Mystery Tunes Trivia Contest

We have a winner in Mystery Tunes Trivia!

The Breeze Loyal Listener Loretta Purpura of St. Petersburg, FL, was the first to correctly identify Tommy Shepard as the trombonist/orchestra leader, and "Chili-O, Katie-O", as the song!

Congratulations, Loretta! She wins the jackpot of $155!

Here are the hints we had provided:

  1. The song wasn't a huge hit - as you might expect. It was only recorded as a 45 and believe it or not, that single was sold not long ago on eBay - if that helps!
  2. The song was written by Frank "Porky" Panico, one of about two dozen songs he's published.
  3. The University of Arizona is now home to the thousands of behind-the-scenes photographs taken by the artist,and it's quite a collection, including artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Darin.
  4. Our trombonist/photographer artist played with Stan Kenton for awhile and was a member of the house band for a popular TV talk show back in the late 60s.
  5. Our artist had another love, in addition to his trombone - his camera! And he actually may be best known for his photographs rather than his recordings!
  6. The artist's "instrument of choice" was the trombone.
  7. The song was released as a 45 single by the artist "and his orchestra", but he didn't write the tune.
  8. The artist is better known as a member of studio and TV show house bands, than as a recording artist, under his own name.

We're getting ready for Round 11 of Mystery Tunes Trivia so check back with us often!
