This week's contestant is Doug Griggs from Georgetown, Kentucky. (I believe this is from their archives, which they seem to be doing a bit lately. I don't know if they're no longer doing the Puzzlers, or if any of the principles are on vacation.) I was able to get the hidden song within about eight seconds from the intro. Even if others don't get it there, I think it would be very recognizable once the songs itself actually starts. I'm a bit shocked that the contestant didn't know it right off, since I don't think the song is all that hidden. In fact, he didn't even get it when Fred Child played it a second time -- and then began to sing along. Only when he simply played the song straight on, did Mr. Griggs "guess" it. As for the composer style, there were a few who I thought possible, but one stood out -- and that's who it was. Happily, Mr. Griggs got that without any help.
