DQ: Was the musical genre rock/pop?

Who was that?

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?

Yes! I am Sgt Maj (USMC) and Lt Cdr (USNR) John Philip Sousa.

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!

IQ1: Is your girlfriend a real doll?
IQ2: Did you have a dream?
IQ3: Were you often Mildred Wirt Benson?

I’m not Ken Carson (former boyfriend to Barbara Roberts) of Mattel fame.
I’m not Martin Luther King, Jr.
Take a DQ for #3.
