April 23, 1564: We believe that William Shakespeare was born on this day

We say happy birthday to the great British author.  

We believe that he was born in Stratford-on-Avon on April 23, 1564.  No one knows for sure because birth records were not always reliable.   

We do know that he died on April 23, 1616 when he was only 52.  Well, let’s wish him a happy birthday anyway!

We remember Henry, or Hank, Aaron today.    He hit # 1 off Vic Raschi of the Cardinals.  

Aaron was the last of the Negro League players to play in the majors.   

He hit # 1 of 755!

April 1967: Remembering "New York Mining Disaster 1941"

We remember the first US release by The Bee Gees.....the song reached # 14 in Billboard......the B-side was "I can't see nobody", a rather good song and lead vocal by Robin Gibb......both songs were released in the band's first LP.
