November 1967 and The Bee Gees's "Massachusetts"







We continue our series of posts about the wonderful music of 1967. 

Today, we remember "Massachusetts", one of The Bee Gees' greatest songs.

It was always a very popular selection at every Bee Gees' concert, such as the big one in Las Vegas in 1997.

1512: The Sistine Chapel

On this day in 1512, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, one of Italian artist Michelangelo’s finest works, was exhibited to the public for the first time. 

We remember the story in a great book by Irving Stone and a wonderful movie with Charlton Heston as Michelangelo.

1800: President & Mrs Adams moved into the new president's home

We remember John & Abigail Adams as a great couple of the early days of US history.   John was a key player in The Declaration of Independence, served as the first Vice President under President Washington and then was elected directly in 1796.

John and Abigail wrote each other great letters.   Historians regard them as a wonderful window into the tumultuous times, from independence to the creation of the new nation.

On this day in 1800, President & Mrs. Adams moved into what we would eventually call The White House.  It was called The President's House and then The White House.

President Adams lost the 1800 election so they moved back to Massachusetts shortly after.  It was President Jefferson who got to live in the new home.
