Later than usual, the annual Kings X Trivia Tournament will be held at WPLJ’s in Walnut Creek on June 27 from 11AM to 7PM. It is still called Kings X Tournament as a tribute to the long time home of Trivia in the Bay Area, “Kings X” Restaurant in Oakland. Drop by if you would like to see grown people get very competitive over worthless information. If you would like to play, let us know. The moderator will be Rich Berkery, last year’s champion and one of the games’ superstars. June is later than usual, but June is a great month. Speaking of that:
- “June is Busting Out All Over” is a song from, to my mind, Rogers and Hammerstein’s greatest musical. What was that show?
- A former NFL quarterback with the first name June coached University of Hawaii to great football fame a few years back. Who is he?
- She passed away recently, but was made famous in the show “Gypsy” as Gypsy Rose Lee’s sister. Who was she?
- One of the most beloved children of 1950’s TV had a mother named June. Who was the little boy and what was the show?
- She played the “girl next door” in the movies of the 40’s and 50’s. She was Mrs. Glenn Miller in the “Glenn Miller Story.” Who was she?
- “I like New York in June” is the first line in a great Burton Lane standard. What is the song?
