History 101: 1937 The Hindenburg crashes in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 35 of the 97 people onboard.

Until this disaster, Zeppelin travel was an increasingly popular and luxurious was to cross the Atlantic.  Below is a photo from inside the Hindenburg from the Promenade Deck

Music History 101: 1973: In Boston, one half of a famous duo began his first tour without the other half. It was Paul Simon without Art Garfunkel.

Now – meet Ruby -

She’s as poised as she is beautiful.  And she needs a home.  She wandered into the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley a couple of months ago and she will make someone (or family) a wonderful companion.  The ASCMV is open seven days a week at Noon and is at 3551 Bataan Memorial West Las Cruces, NM.  The telephone number is (575) 382-0018.

And here’s a look at our new companion, Mr. Peepers.

Whoops, that’s the original Mr. Peepers.  Here’s the new Mr. Peepers -

This guy (or maybe it’s Ms. Peepers) comes and peeps into our studio every morning.  Frankly, it’s a little freaky.

The 101 number one song of the day had a rough road to the top – nobody in the group wanted to record it except its writer and he had no idea what it meant.

Producer Lou Adler didn’t like the song either but this group of four was heavily influenced by their de-facto leader John who insisted they record the song before they put their new album to bed. He said to his dying day that he had no idea what the song was all about but he liked it none the less. Although the other three in the group didn’t like it, the public did and radio stations started playing it off the album since it was never intended to be a single. By the time it finally was released as a single, it was so popular that more than 150,000 were sold on the first day. And during this week in 1966 it reached the number one spot in America – for the Mamas and the Papas (Monday, Monday)
