Walk on Stilts Day

Also, Take the Plants for a Walk Day.  Proud plant owners all around the world will stroll through the streets and parks with their precious plants by their sides, conversing with other plant owners, sharing plant stories and antidotes.  Strolling with ones plants allows them to enjoy the world about them that they don't enjoy throughout the year.

Music History: 1959 - Two Brooklyn brothers named Farina released their one and only major hit record, an instrumental.  It was “Sleep Walk” which would reach number one. Their next song, Tear Drop, only made it to number 23 on the pop charts. Such is life in the pop music biz. Their first names were Santo and Johnny.

The 101 number one song of the day was written on a ski lift in less than 10 minutes and it brought the writer back to his college sweetheart.

They actually had married several years before but they had grown apart and they separated.  He flew to Switzerland, but after six days – which according to the couple felt like three months – a tearful long distance call made them realize how important their relationship was and before he returned to the states he was inspired to write the song which rose to number one on July 27, 1974. It’s John Denver and “Annie’s Song”
