Blues Trivia: Fitz & The Tantrums, The Dixie Chicks, Sharon Van Etten and Cold Specks

0:05Hey, it's Matt. It's day three here of Blues Fest. We're in the Canadian War Museum in the boutique looking for some more prizes for Blues Trivia. I thought we were gonna switch things up every day, but everyone seems to really be digging the Blues Trivia. And if you've been watching every show, you probably know the answers before the bands do. So today on the show we've got courtyard hounds, which is two of the Dixie chicks. We got Fitz and the Tantrums, Cold Specs, Sharon Venet, and it's gonna be a great day, but we gotta find some prizes. So that's why we're in here. So I'm liking this. That's a little flying jet. Maybe we'll even try and get one of the bands to fly this off the stage. That'd be kind of cool. I don't think it'll hurt. No, it's made of like a rubber. It'll be fun. Let's walk around and find some prizes. So because it's the War Museum that we're on the grounds of, we've got these little airplanes.

This selection has become a collector. There's one more, which I forget what the hell it is. Oh yes, Monty the Moose. I think Monty the Moose, no fans can it up, but I think he's out. He's out. No Monty the Moose. So we got airplane. Maple syrup butter or the horn. You're holding the horn. I feel like you're going for the horn. Well, because my saxophone is and band made, he's kind of a weirdo for these things.

1:49Can you actually play it as an instrument? I believe so. Then I think. Playing for the horn. We'll have to go with that. Alright, so for you to get the horn, you need, we'll go two out of five, correct? So you just, they're pretty easy. Praise me, Jesus.
