All this week you can win free tickets to the La Vina Wine and Music Festival with the 101 Number One song of the Day.

Here today’s 101 number one song of the day wasn’t actually one song at all – it was more like two halves of two different songs and there was an internal struggle to bring those both halves together. The first part was an introduction piece to a musical and the group that took it to the top saw it performed on stage and immediately wanted to record it. Their producer, Bones Howe, was not impressed saying, “it’s only a half a song.” They said, “You gotta see it on stage.” So he did and it was then he realized that something later on in the show entitled “The Flesh Failures” would be a perfect complement. The group wasn’t convinced but Bones persisted and together they pieced the two parts together for a song that reached number one on April 12, 1969 and became the second biggest single of the year. It was from the Broadway production of “Hair.” The 101 number one song of the day came from the “Fifth Dimension” (Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In)

Glen Este High School varsity coach Tim Gregory and Milford High School coach Christy Foster had been dating more than two years before Wednesday's proposal. Gregory says "softball is really what brought us together." Foster, of course, said yes to the proposal and called it perfect. The ensuing game wasn't, though. Gregory's team won 1 to 0.

Tiger Woods’ return to The Masters created the largest ratings ever for golf on TV. The first round action on ESPN drew over 5-million viewers. And weekend coverage on CBS was up over 50% from previous years. But at the end, Phil Mickelson wound up with the coveted green jacket. Mickelson1-400x248
