Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One group that performs in the concert is The Folksmen. How many singers are in the The Folksmen?

Answer: 3

The Folksmen are played by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, who, in 1984, performed as a rock band in the movie "This Is Spinal Tap".
2. What were the names of the singers in the musical duo played by Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara?

Answer: Mitch and Mickey

Levy and O'Hara appeared as Mitch and Mickey at the Academy Awards in 2004 to perform one of the songs nominated for best song.
3. Another group in the movie was called The New Main Street Singers. How many people performed in this group?

Answer: 9

Based upon the real life group, The New Christy Minstrels, this color-coordinated, harmonizing group called themselves a "neuftet."
4. The three folk music groups reunite to honor their late former manager, Irving. Irving's son organizes and is the emcee at the concert. What is Irving's last name.

Answer: Steinbloom

According to Irving Steinbloom's son, wherever Irving went, he would make people happy by humming, so while toasting the memory of his father, he asked everyone at a party to hum.
5. What does the bass player of The Folksmen decide to do shortly after the tribute concert?

Answer: dress as a woman

The bass player is played by Harry Shearer (the voice of several characters on "The Simpsons"). His character was bald and had a very deep voice. He explained that he always felt like a blonde female folk singer, so at the end of the film he is seen wearing a blonde wig and a dress, singing with his deep voice, one of the funniest moments in the film.
6. What instrument did Catherine O'Hara's character play?

Answer: autoharp

Mitch played guitar while Mikey played the autoharp. After the concert, Mickey continues performing solo, promoting her husband's medical supply business.
7. The New Main Street Singers are lead by a couple whose last name is Bohner. What job did Laurie Bohner have before joining The New Main Street Singers?

Answer: adult film actress

Her brief career in the adult film industry peaked with her role in the film "Not So Tiny Tim." As an adult film actress, she was highly sought after because she was able to do things that the other actresses were not willing to do.
8. In what city did the concert take place?

Answer: New York

The concert took place in New York City's Town Hall.
9. Who directed "A Mighty Wind?"

Answer: Christopher Guest

This is the third "mockumentary" directed by Chistopher Guest. He also directed "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show".
10. What song from "A Mighty Wind" received an Academy Award nomination for best song?

Answer: A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow

At the Academy Awards held in 2004, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara performed the song in character. They even kissed at the end of the song like Mitch and Mickey did in the film. It's too bad it lost to "Into the West" from "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".
