Blues Traveler
Blues Traveler was formed by singer/harmonica palyer John Popper in New York in 1988. The group also included guitarist Chan Kinchla, bassist Bobby Sheehan and drummer Brendan Hill. Blues Traveler was part of a revival of the extended jamming style of ’60s and ’70s groups like the Grateful Dead. Signed to A&M, they released their first album, Blues Traveler, in May 1990 and followed it with Travelers & Thieves in September 1991. Popper was in a serious accident in 1992, leaving him unable to perform for a number of months. Fortunately, he recovered, yet he still had to perform in a wheelchair for a period of time. In April 1993, Blues Traveler released its third album, Save His Soul, which became its first to make the Top 100. What kind of accident was John Popper involved in?
A) Car accident
B) Motorcycle accident

Hi Mike,
Not sure where you get your information from but according to “Wikipedia” - “In October 1992 Popper was involved in a traffic accident on a motorcycle while traveling to a studio to record for Blues Traveler’s third album. The accident put him in a wheelchair for several months, but Popper continued touring with the band despite the difficulties it created.”
I’m a little confused as this is not the first time this has happened to me.

Hey Mikey…. I researched the answer to this one after getting it wrong. I think someone’s playing head games with us here… Cause in 1992 he was in a near fatal accident on his Motorcycle was he not? But that answer was a no go.
