Good Thursday morning, welcome to This Day In The History Of Music. Enjoy the read.    1. On this day in 1877 Franz Schubert's 2nd Symphony in B premieres. Franz Schubert was only 31 when he died, yet had composed over 600 works, a fraction of which were published within his lifetime. The son of a school teacher, he lived most of his life in obscurity in Vienna. It was only after his death in 1828 from typhoid fever and probably syphilis that the extent of his composition was discovered, published, and performed. 2. On this day in 1955  Harry Belafonte recorded "Day-O" (Banana Boat Song), "Day-O" is a traditional Jamaican folk song. The song has mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better-known calypso music. It is a call-and-response work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The song gained popularity in the 1988 film Beetlejuice.  3. On this day in 1956  "Love Me Tender," Elvis Presley's adaptation of "Aura Lee," a folk tune dating back to the 1860s, entered the pop singles chart at No. 2. 4: On this day in 1962  Peter, Paul, and Mary's debut folk album "Peter, Paul, and Mary" reaches No. 1 on the US album charts. The trio released their first album "Peter, Paul and Mary" in 1962 and continued to release albums until their breakup in 1970. Some of their most famous songs include "Puff the Magic Dragon", Bob Dylan's "Blowin in the Wind" and their version of John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" Although the group never stopped meeting to play together they reformed in 1981 and continued recording and touring until Travers death from the effects of Leukemia in 2009. 5. On this day in 1962  Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers started a two-week run at No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart with "Monster Mash." 6: On this day in 1969  Against the other Beatles' wishes, John Lennon released the harrowing single about his heroin withdrawal, "Cold Turkey," under the name of the Plastic Ono Band. It didn't crack the Top 20 in the U.S. and barely did so in the U.K. 7. On this day in 1973 The Rolling Stones had their first No. 1 hit in the U.S. with "Angie." The song came off of the album Goats Head Soup, the band's 11th British and 13th American studio album. This acoustic-guitar-driven ballad is credited (as most Stones songs are) to both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards but is said to be mostly written by Richards. The song was also a No. 1 hit in both Canada and Australia and topped the charts in many countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Because of the song's length, some radio stations made edits to shorten it to 3 minutes, omitting the longer coda and the second instrumental section of the song. 8. On this day in 1973 After 15 years of construction, the Sydney Opera House is dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II on October 20, 1973. The $80 million structure, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and funded by the profits of the Opera House Lotteries, was built on Bennelong Point, in Sydney, Australia. Famous for its geometric roof shells, the structure contains several large auditoriums and presents an average of 3,000 events a year to an estimated two million people. The first performance in the complex was the Australian Opera’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s War and Peace, which was held in the 1,547-seat Opera Theatre. Today, the Opera House remains Sydney’s best-known landmark and is recognizable the world over.  9. On this day in 1977 Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines from Lynyrd Skynyrd, along with manager Dean Kilpatrick, were all killed when their rented plane ran out of fuel and crashed into a densely wooded thicket in the middle of a swamp in Gillsburg, Miss. The crash seriously injured the rest of the band and crew, who were due to play at Louisiana University that evening. 10. On this day in 1978  The Police made their U.S. debut at CBGB in New York. 11. On this day in 2001 Top figures of the film and political world, along with musicians such as The Who, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi, James Taylor, Jay-Z, and many other big names, performed for VH1's Concert For New York City to benefit the victims and families of the 9/11 attack. More than $35 million in donations were raised during the broadcast. 12. On this day in 2003  Amy Winehouse released her debut album Frank in the UK, (named after Frank Sinatra).

Good Thursday morning dear friend. 9 out of 10 times you tried to achieve your goal, 19 out of 20 times you have tried to achieve your goal or even 99 out of 100 times you have tried to achieve your goal. My dear friend let me ask you, what do these numbers all have in common? Well, if you are looking at the number of times you failed then all you see is a failure, if you're looking at that one time that was not a failure, then my friend you see what I see.   I see not only a person who never quits, or gives in to failure, but a person who was determined to achieve the goal that was worth achieving. I see someone with determination as well as self-confidence, I see you as someone who doesn't quit. It only takes one time to be successful for you to succeed.  Have a great day dear friend, take care and stay safe.  ... View more
