Happy # 89 Shirley Jones

 We say happy birthday to Shirley Jones who was born in Pennsylvania on this day in 1934.   

 She appeared in lots of films, from "Oklahoma" to "The music man".    I guess that most of us remember her as the mom in "The Partridge Family".

Happy # 89 Herb Alpert


Image result for herb alpert images
We say happy birthday to Herb Alpert, who was born in Los Angeles on this day in 1935.

 In the early 1960's, Herb Alpert hit the charts with The Tijuana Brass.  His career included number one hits & many albums that charted on Billboard. They also won 8 Grammy's and sold 70 million albums around the world.

 Alpert is also the only artist to hit # 1 with an instrumental "Rise" in 1979 and as a vocalist with “This guy's in love with you" in 1968.

 Not bad for a guy whose first hit was "The lonely bull"!

Happy # 79 Eric Clapton


Image result for eric clapton images
Eric Clapton is one of the best "rock guitarists" ever!    He was born on this day in 1945.

 Clapton's career goes back to The Yardbirds, Cream, and his own solo work.

 My favorite Clapton guitar performance is "White Room" recorded by Cream, i.e. Clapton, Ginger Baker & Jack Bruce.  According to Songfacts, Eric Clapton used a Wah-Wah pedal on his guitar.  It was great.

Happy # 80 Diana Ross




We remember Diana Ross who was born in Detroit on this day in 1944.

Question: Is that possible? I guess that time really does fly by!

We have followed Diana Ross from The Supremes to her solo career.

The Supremes had a bunch of # 1 singles.   In the late 1960's, they were one of the most consistent hit makers along with The Beatles.   In the 1970's, Diana went solo and the hits kept on coming.

She is a great performer and artist!

Do any of you remember "Semana Santa" in Cuba?

 As I recall, it was a very solemn week, from Monday to Easter Sunday.    I recall that Good Friday ("Viernes Santo") was a very quiet day with lots of time for mediation and prayer.

We remember Lee May (1943-2017)

Related image
We remember Lee May who was born in Alabama on this day in 1943.   He died in 2017.  

 May was a quiet power hitter of the 1970s.    Overall, Lee hit 354 HR  with 1,244 RBI and a .267 batting average.

 He started with the Reds and hit behind Johnny Bench in that power lineup:   111 HR & 302 RBI over a 3-year stretch!

 Then he went to Baltimore and hit behind Ken Singleton:  387 RBI over 4 years.

 He played for the Reds in the 1970 World Series and for the Orioles in 1979.

Lee May played with lots of class.   He let the bat do the talking and it did a lot of that!

1775: Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech




We remember another anniversary of Patrick Henry's speech:
"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
It became a rallying cry for the colonists.

 A year later, they met to sign The Declaration of Independence.

We remember George "Boomer" Scott (1944-2013)

George Scott was born on this day in 1944 and died in 2013 at age 69. 

 In 1972, George Scott was traded to Milwaukee and he became the team's first big star.  He hit long home runs.  I recall seeing him hit a line drive to the left field seats that left park in a second.

 My first memory is that he was fun to watch.  He hit "taters" and play great defense at first base.  He was a big man but he could move around first base.

 My second memory is running into Scott in Mexico City in 1981.  He was out of major league baseball and playing for the Mexican League.

 I was waiting for a light change and crossing a street.  I noticed this man next to me and said:  "Are you George Scott"?

 He said yes and we shared a few Brewers' stories.  He was a really nice guy and invited me to go to watch a game.

 Unfortunately, I did not make the game and Scott was out of baseball soon after that.

 Thanks for those "taters"!   He hit 271 of them when hitting 25 Hrs in a season was having a pretty good season!
