Trivia Challenge
Fun With Numbers
I’d like to congratulate last month’s Trivia Challenge winners: Kevin Law from Indiana and Mark Wright from North Carolina. Your ATPM T-shirts are on the way! This month’s prize of a dynamite ATPM T-shirt goes to the first two correct entries I receive at egoss@atpm.com. Individual readers are eligible to win only once every twelve months.
This month’s Trivia Challenge tests your wits about a number of things. Try to match up the statement on the left with its corresponding number on the right as you take part in:

The Rules
Each question has only one correct answer. The answers are stored in a hermetically sealed envelope guarded by a Standard Poodle named “Jane” who lives in our house.
This Month’s CD Recommendation
“In The Flesh—Live” by Roger Waters. A two CD set documenting Roger Waters’s 1999-2000 live tour, this marvelous compilation includes classics from Pink Floyd along with gems from Roger’s solo works. With a stellar band backing him up, Roger is in fine form as they rip through this two hour set, which includes one new song, “Each Small Candle” from a forthcoming album. I was fortunate enough to catch this show twice—once in a small concert hall and once in a large arena—and can attest that this CD is an excellent example of the energy and involvement that Roger can command. An absolute must for Floyd fans, and a must-own for all fans of well-crafted Rock and Roll.
