We remember First Lady Nancy Reagan (1921-2016)


We remember Nancy Reagan who was born in New York on this day in 1921.    She died in 2016.

Most of us remember her as our First Lady, 1981-89.

1965: “Beatles VI” was # 1 this week


beatles-vi-vinyl-front  
As we’ve posted before, every  pre-Sgt Pepper LP had different tracks or even titles in the US and the rest of the world.   We call them the American LP’s and were released  in a box set.    
It was always interesting to chat about The Beatles with someone from the UK.     We associated different songs with different LP’s!
Beatles VI” released in June 1965 is another example.    It included the single “Eight days a week” and the B-side “I don’t want to spoil the party“.    
It also included several other tunes found in “Beatles for sale“, such as “Every little thing” and “What you’re doing“.
Like everything else released by the group, “Beatles VI” hit # 1 this week in 1965.    However, it was not one of their best LP’s.

Happy # 78 President George W Bush


We say happy birthday to President Bush today.

As I've said many times, we were very fortunate that Mr. Bush was president on 9-11.  His leadership was essential after that terrible day.

President Bush has kept a very low profile since leaving office, except for those trips to watch the Rangers play baseball.   He's written two very interesting books since leaving office and created the Bush Freedom Center at SMU.   

Happy birthday and enjoy your day.
