THE PUZZLE CORNER: SEPTEMBER 17, 2011

This weekend's Puzzle Corner centers around one person. If you can guess who, you might be able to solve the other conundrum. Ready?

WHO AM I?
Can you guess the identity of our mystery guest from the clue below?
"I am still very active in the music industry and believe it or not, am an accomplished keyboardist with a couple of Grammys to my credit, although you couldn't tell that right off between my choice of instrument and music genre."

TRIVIA TIME
What are our mystery guest's Grammy wins?
Hint: The last nomination (to date) was in 2009 while the last win was in 2003.

Hmmm... Tricky little devil, ain't I?
But we'll reveal all next weekend.
Meanwhile, let's boldly go where no Puzzle Corner has gone before and peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX for the results of our 45th Anniversary of the original Star Trek series themed enigmas from September 10.

TRIVIA TIME
While working wherever they could within the early days of television before being cast in the original Star Trek series; DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Leonard Nimoy, and William Shatner all found work amongst episodes of The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and other WESTERN programs.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Amongst the letters in the title STAR TREK, you can find the following words: A, are, ark(s), arrest, art(s), as, at, ate, ear(s), east, eat, era(s), rake(s), rare, rat(s), rate(s), rear(s), rest, sea, sear, seat, skate, stake, stark, start, steak, streak, take(s), tart(s), tea(s), tear(s), test, AND treat(s).
Although the two words that comprise the title do not count, TREKS could, which brings our word count to 47, but other words might be possible.
