On this day back in 1974 The Wings reached No.1 on the US singles chart with their musical effort entitled "Band on the Run". One of my all time favourites.

[The auto checker wants me to spell that as "favorites" the American way. I often will go along with these Americanized spelling corrections just to get rid of the red error line underneath, dropping more u's then I can count in the process. I.E. color vs colour in the process. This time I won't do that as it just looks plan wrong without the u! Canadians spell things straight from their original derivatives from the UK].

Spaghetti & Meatballs

I had a lot of pictures that were blurry or this would look even yummier then it already does. I"m going to need to start using my tripod soon.

David Bowie released "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" on this day in 1972. It was an epic album with more influential hits then I will point to here today. David was on another planet mentally then which is probably why his music was so successful, it was different.

There are other songs of his I'd like to link here but for today I'll post "Starman" from this album.

Chicken Soup

Everything but the kitchen sink in there. Berries and light vanilla ice cream for dessert.

On this day in 2008 the legendary guitarist Bo Diddley died. I don't usually commemorate death but there isn't a lot to talk about today in music history and Bo definitely deserves mention. He's was and still is a big influence to more bands and musicians then I can count. Often with a black woman on bass and a white man on guitar, in a time when that was actually a societal controversy, he was progressive in every sense of the word. Here is a video of him in later years with his famous homemade square guitar.
