The first two came out of what Kate calls my "magpie mind" - i heard the third on NPR a couple weeks back, and now it's filed away in there too.
Here's another {not music}:
Paul Winchell, the ventriloquist and voice actor {Tigger, among others} was also an inventor. What did he invent that is still in use in medicine {well, its improved descendants}?

From Wikipedia:
Winchell, who had medical training, was also an inventor, becoming the first person to build and patent a mechanical artificial heart, implantable in the chest cavity (US Patent #3097366 of 1963).
Further:
Winchell established more medical patents while working on projects for the Leukemia Society (now known as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) and the American Red Cross. Other devices that he invented and patented included a disposable razor, a blood plasma defroster, a flameless cigarette lighter, a garter belt with no outwardly visible lines, a fountain pen with a retractable tip, and battery-heated gloves

Good quiz! I didn't get any of them.
But now I've got Nestles Qwik commercials from the '60s stuck in my head because of Winchell.
I can remember TV commercials from 1957, but not what I read last week , , , .

Of course, that wasn't Winchell doing those Nestle commercials...

Ummm ... lemme think ... Jimmy Bennett?
Nope -
Jimmy Nelson.
WInchell's primary dummy was Jerry Mahoney, with Knucklehead Smif, a character he probably couldn't get away with on network TV like he did in the 50s/60s...
