To sum up: An American musician, male, first name doesn’t start with P, died between 1900-1950, born east of the Mississippi, didn’t win a top award, associated with the military. So, can’t be rock. Maybe early pop, maybe classical, maybe jazz, maybe folk. IQ: Did you compose _The Stars and Stripes Forever_? ---

D’oh! I was working up to that, really! Sousa’s birthday’s in just a few weeks, too. Way to go, once again, **Prof. P**.! My previous IQs: Are you a star who dated another star with a similar name for awhile? - Penelope Cruz dated Tom Cruise. Were you a noted chef in your particular regional cuisine? - Paul Prudhomme, best known for Cajun cuisine. Were you berated by a very, very, very old person? - Peregrin “Pippin” Took, chewed out for clumsiness by Gandalf. ---

Okay. Thanks to all! SCAdian tried to get sneaky with using a middle name, but then, when do you ever just say John P. Sousa? This time around, I am K! ---
