Question: Which member of Mission Mountain Wood Band, abbreviated M2Wb, was appointed to the Montana Arts Council by Governor Brian Schweitzer?
Context: The 2008 Montana gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2008 to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Montana.  Incumbent governor Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who was elected to his first four-year term in 2004, was elected to a second term with 65.5 per cent of the vote.  John Bohlinger, a Republican and the incumbent lieutenant governor, was once again Schweitzer's running mate, and was re-elected to a second term.  The Republican nominee was Roy Brown, a member of the Montana Senate.  Brown's running mate was businessman, and future U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator, Steve Daines. The 2012 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2012, to elect the Governor of Montana.  Incumbent Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer was term-limited and could not run for re-election to a third term. The Mission Mountain Wood Band, abbreviated M2WB, is an American bluegrass and country rock band formed in Missoula, Montana, US in 1971.  They were noted for their vocal harmonies, multi-instrumental talent, and charismatic stage presence, particularly at Woodstock style regional concerts of the era such as the University of Montana's Aber Day Kegger.  They spent time in New York City to further build their career, appeared on national television and toured 47 of the lower 48 states in a unique 1955 Greyhound Scenicruiser, performing up to 320 times a year both solo and as an opening act for other bands.  The original five members were Rob Quist, Steve Riddle, Christian Johnson, Greg Reichenberg, and the late Terry Robinson, all of whom were UM students and born in Montana.  Johnson was replaced with Kurt Bergeron by the time the band released their first album, "In Without Knocking", in 1977.  The band recorded two studio albums in their heyday, a third album after the band revamped as ‘’Montana’’, released a compilation of their older work in 2005, and put out two albums with new content in 2011 and 2014.

The Arts Council (sometimes called the Arts Council of Ireland; legally Irish: An Chomhairle Ealaíon ) is the arts council of Ireland.  It was established in 1951 by the Government of Ireland, to encourage interest in Irish art (including visual art, music, performance, and literature) and to channel funding from the state to Irish artists and arts organisations.  This includes encouragement of traditional Irish arts, support for contemporary Irish arts, and finance for international arts events in Ireland.  The council was modeled on the Arts Council of Great Britain, founded in 1946, and works closely with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, formed by the British government in Northern Ireland in 1962 to fulfil a similar role. Mission Ridge, also known as Mission Mountain, is a ridge in the Bridge River-Lillooet Country of the South-Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, extending westward from the town of Lillooet along the north side of Seton Lake to Mission Pass, which is immediately above and to the north of the lakeside community of Shalalth.  The road over the pass is also known as Mission Mountain, which is short for "Mission Mountain Road".  Mission Creek lies on the north side of the pass, and is a tributary of the Bridge River, the lower reaches of which lie on the north side of the ridge, and which was the only road access into the upper Bridge River Country before the construction of a road through the Bridge River Canyon in the mid-1950s opened that region up to road access from the lower Bridge River valley and the town of Lillooet via the community or Moha.  Most, or virtually all, of the ridge, is Indian Reserves, notably Slosh 1, under the administration of the Seton Lake Indian Band, and Bridge River 1, which is under the administration of the Bridge River Indian Band.  Parts of the ridge's eastern end are in reserves controlled by the Lillooet Indian Band, including its final spires above Lillooet, which were dubbed St. Mary's Mount by the Reverend Lundin Brown in the 1860s, though that name never stuck and is ungazetted. John Bohlinger, Jr. (born April 21, 1936) is an American politician.  He was the 29th Lieutenant Governor of Montana, having served from January 2005 to January 2013.

Schweitzer and Bohlinger were elected governor and lieutenant governor in the 2004 election and both were reelected in the 2008 election.  Due to term limits, they were unable to run in the 2012 election.  While he began his political career as a member of the Republican Party, he is currently a member of the Democratic Party.

The Arts Council of Great Britain was a non-departmental public body dedicated to the promotion of the fine arts in Great Britain.  The Arts Council of Great Britain was divided in 1994 to form the Arts Council of England (now Arts Council England), the Scottish Arts Council, and the Arts Council of Wales.  At the same time the National Lottery was established and these three arts councils, plus the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, became distribution bodies.
