Good Sunday afternoon, I hope your weekend has been treating you great thus far. I would also like for you to know, I will be using both sources for this post. They are the best for all that I have read, however, they are also very different as far as information about the history of music. By me combining the two we will have a greater insight into the history of music. Completing the post will be a long process, as will the reading of all the information that each post will have. In the end, I believe it will be a better read. At least that is my hope. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.    1931: "There Ought To Be A Moonlight Saving Time" by Guy Lombardo hits #1 1960: " TV Personality, Comedian and Composer Steve Allen and the Steve Allen Show" last airs on NBC-TV. 1962: The Beatles meet their producer George Martin for the first time and record "Besame Mucho" with Pete Best on drums. 1962: The Beatles The first Beatles recording session took place at Abbey Road Studios.
