The Band Christmas Quiz 2009

The following was posted at The Band web site on November 29th 2009:

Wishing for a rare (and unused) '90s Rick Danko t-shirt for Christmas? Your wish may come true if you know the answer to the following question:
The singer is familiar(?), but what is it that we are listening to here?:

  • xmas_quiz_2009.mp3
  • [Details about how to answer the quiz deleted]

    We received more than 100 e-mails with quiz answers over the next four weeks, most of these had the correct answer:

    "World on Fire" performed by Sarah McLachlan and Robbie Robertson, from Into the West, 2005.
    A little C-program using random numbers, written by yours truly, was used to select one of the contestans with the correct answer. And the lucky winner of a '90s Rick Danko t-shirt is (drum roll):
    Davy Gallagher
    Thanks to all the contestants for participating, we'll be back next year with a new quiz and a new price! And a big thank-you to Jonathan Katz for creating this year's quiz.
