Win Acoustic CD "30" - have fun
musea/Tom Hendricks
our last contest question of:
But first:
NOW featured on the Musea website -
on our contents page, "A Year Of Quizzes",
yes 52 of the most recent contest questions
and their answers - check them out!
The heyday, of the 'dime novel' (billed
as 'books for the million') was
from 1860-1910. "Never before or
since has book publishing held a larger
share of the gross national product. The first
mass-produced entertainment industry of
importance, it stood in the same
relation to the average young American
as TV does today... Beadle and Adams alone,
during the 35 years or so of its existence,
published more than 7,500 novels, and its
competitors were not fair behind."
("Eight Dime Novels" intro by E. F. Bleiler)
One author by himself sold
250,000,000 copies. Name him.
WAS: Horatio Alger Jr. (But collectors
beware, old copies from around the turn
of the century are appetizing food for bugs!
I've learned the hard way that they'll destroy
your book spines for the glue!)
I had one correct ineligible response
but no winner.
The rest of you showed NO PLUCK AT ALL!
I don't
dumb down,
so please
wise up.
Now on to a new Q.:
Win a copy of my NEW CD
CALLED '30'!!!!!! -
(NEW PRIZE!!!)
if you
are the first to e-mail me at
tomhend...@cs.com
with the correct answer
to this art question*:
Willard Metcalf was one of the great
American Impressionists.
And like many other US artists he went to
Paris to study. In March 1888 he submitted a work to
the Fr. Salon jury. You've heard of them in reading about
the beginning of Impressionism and how those painting
pioneers had to fight the conservative Salon.
Anyway Metcalf was not ony accepted for exhibition,
but he won an Honorable Mention, a rare distinction fot
the work of an American Painter, AND his painting was
hung "ON THE LINE". What does the term "ON THE LINE"
mean?
Good luck puzzlers!
*Fine print. If you post your answer on a
newsgroup instead of sending it to me,
you are disqualified from all contests
for spoiling the fun for others. Please play
fair - and have fun.

I would have, but I've been messing with alternate tunings.
Maybe later I'll bone up on a subject about which I have no
interest.
