Rock ‘n’ Roll Trivia
In addition to the 5 artists of this episode’s Triple Down, I’ve been doing a stealth triple down of a particular musician. I’ve played songs by two different bands this person was in, and you’re about to hear a song from a third band this person was in. Who is the person? (“Can’t Find My Way Home” begins to play…)
