From the archives. The contestant this week is Kate Kreger of Geneseo, New York. I was pretty sure that I had the hidden song – but I was wrong, it was something else that I like a lot, but…man, there’s a lot of overlap with what I thought. But not enough, and I could hear it easily once I knew the answer. It’s just it’s one of those things when you hear a song in your head, you can’t get it out. (In fact, host Peter Child pretty much said exactly that when referencing the hidden song once it got replayed.) As for the composer style, I never would have gotten it. Impressively, after a bit of trial and error, the contestant did.

From the archives. This week's contestants are Nancy Parton and Ron Morebello from San Diego, California. At least I got the composer style, but didn't have a clue on the hidden song -- which is really deeply hidden. I was even listening in the right place for it, but couldn't hear it. I even listening closely when pianist Bruce Adolph said where to listen, and I had been listening there, and he slowed to down to be more clear. Zero idea. Even when he gave the answer and I listened again, I had a hard time picking it out. But...it's guessable, because the contestants got it on the second time around. Not me...
We have a new one this week, and the contestants are father and son Scott and Nicholas Meyer from Portland, Oregon. At first I thought I got the hidden song, but then it didn’t track. It’s hard to put a song out of your mind when you think you have it…but I did my best and happily was able to pick out another song, and was sure I was right. And was. (I’m a bit surprised that the contestants had some trouble with it – particularly having recognized the tune but struggling with the name, because once you hear the tune, it seems almost improbable you wouldn’t know the title of this particular song, though they did eventually guess it by the end.) As for the composer style, I actually got that right and quickly, which is a rare treat. So, it’s an even more rare daily double. O huzzah!
From the archives. This week's contestant is Kevin Shaw from Charlotte, North Carolina. I was pretty sure that I had the hidden song -- but I didn't. There were quite a few passages that overlap, but alas not enough. Which is why I was wrong. And the composer style is one that just isn't in my ballpark -- though my guess was the same as the contestant's, and he was told that he was close. But close or not, I don't think it's one I could likely have done. So, in the end, I was 0-for 2... But that means there's nowhere to go but up!!
From the archives. This week's contestant is Richard Baum from Houston, Texas. On the positive side, I was able to get the composer style. On the other side of the coin, I had trouble with the hidden song, and I think most people will have trouble, too. However, I'm almost ready to give myself a win on it, or at the very least bonus points. I guessed the composer of the hidden song, and even had a strong feeling of what it's from (and was right) -- and though I couldn't think of the song's proper name, my thought was, "It sort of sounds like that song whose title is something like..." And that's what it was.
It's not a totally unknown song -- and its composer is renowned, and so is the encompassing work. But this isn't one of its better-known tunes. From the archives. This week's contestant is Sarah Painting from South Hadley, Massachusetts. I got the hidden song pretty quickly, which is a good thing because it gets pretty well-hidden further on. As for the composer style, I could make out a particular quote but just couldn't put the name to the music -- which is a shame because he was the first name I came up with and then veered away to someone else. Silly me.
