King - 2025 NAFTA - Buzzpoints

Packet 2: Bonus 5

One of the longest-running daily radio shows in American history is an Arkansas-based blues program called [This word] Biscuit Time. For 10 points each:

[10m] Give this surname of a guitarist known as “the Velvet Bulldozer,” who used a uniquely tuned Flying V. Joe Oliver, who had this nickname, mentored Louis Armstrong.

ANSWER: King [accept King Biscuit Time; accept Albert King; accept “King” Oliver] (Scholars and players still have not reached consensus on how Albert King tuned his guitar, which King himself kept secret.)

[10e] King Biscuit Time’s first show featured Sonny Boy Williamson I, a virtuoso of this wind instrument. Bob Dylan used a neck rack to play this instrument and guitar at the same time.

ANSWER: harmonica [or mouth organ; or blues harp]

[10h] “King” Oliver inherited the epithet from this trumpeter who was confined to an asylum in 1907. He is credited with developing the “Big Four” rhythm and coining the modern sense of the word “funky” in the song “Funky Butt.”

ANSWER: Buddy Bolden [or Charles Joseph Bolden; accept “King” Bolden] (King Oliver more directly inherited the epithet from Freddie Keppard, who directly inherited it from Bolden.)
