It’s also Greasy Spoon Day, a time to remember your favorite place to eat back in the "good old days." Is it still in business?

Music History 101:  October 19th, 1966 this British group named after the English slang term for hobos arrived in the U. S. for their first American tour. It didn’t go as well as everybody would have liked. After only two shows, Jeff Beck quit the band – the Yardbirds

On this day in 1987, the worst Stock Market crash since 1929 as the Dow slipped five-hundred and eight points (a loss of nearly twenty-three percent).

- What goes up…

The 101 number one song of the day was recorded by a super group that had just lost its lead singer who had decided to go solo. They responded with unique approach to the problem which gave them their latest charttopper. David Ruffin had decided to go it on his own and Motown producer Norman Whitfield made a drastic change in the direction of the group which made it even more successful than it had before. Dennis Edwards had been signed to the label but his career seemed to be going nowhere so he asked to be released from his contract. A few days later he was called to the Executive Offices expecting to get the go ahead. Instead, he was asked to join the group you’re about to hear. After a few “socially conscious” songs they returned to affairs of the heart and today’s 101 number one song of the day which was on top October 19, 1969 gave all five members a turn at singing lead – Here are the Temptations with “I Can’t Get Next to You”

Now to those mysterious lights that were spotted over East El Paso last Friday night.  Some are saying it was the Amigo Air Show but what about those lights spotted recently over New York City?  What do you think?

and look for the 101 Gold Camaro at a Live Drive near you.  It’s another way to become a finalist to win it.  KC was at Ceramic Plus last Saturday and a lot of people got a close up look -
