Well, I should have known all the answers but on two questions my old age refused to let me remember them. That's CRS, right? So, yep, I'm old - just getting forgetful :)

I missed two. I thought Red Skelton's hobo was Clem Kadittlehopper, and I said Dizzy Gilespy instead of Louis Armstrong.

Only missed one - Buddy Holly, but I think that still qualifies me as old.
