c) Gerry and the Pacemakers
d) The Rolling Stones

2) Tooned In:
In an animated short called One Froggy Evening:

the talented frog sang many songs including one written for the cartoon. Name this "stately" song. (3 points) All I can think of is Michigan Jay Frog singing "Hello, ma honey," etc.

8 ) Dead or Alive?
Are the following famous drummers dead or alive? (1 point each)
Jim Gordon (Derek and the Dominos) ALIVE
Levon Helm (The Band) DEAD
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) ALIVE
Buddy Miles (Band of Gypsys) DEAD
Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) ALIVE

Wheelhouse bonus: Which of the drummers above has been in prison for over thirty years (3 points) and why (2 points)? All I can guess is it's not Palmer, only because I think I would know, and not Helm, who I'm sure has died recently. The others were complete WAGs, so I will guess Gordon here, and for 30 years in prison, it must be some flavor of murder.
