We remember May 21






We remember May 21:

"The spirit of St. Louis":    We remember that Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris in 1927.     His plane "The spirit of St. Louis" had taken off from Roosevelt Field 33 hours earlier.

"Perry Mason":  We remember Raymond Burr, known to most of us as Perry Mason.  He was born on this day in 1917 and died in 1993.    

Rock history:   On this day in 1955, Chuck Berry recorded "Maybellene" and the rest is history.   Berry went on to have many more hits.   He also influenced The Beatles and The Rolling Stones of the next generation of rock.    It all started for Berry with the wonderful "Maybellene".
