@AlyssaPandora you hit the nail on the head with your explanation about music, for me there was a time I couldn't listen to sad music, but today it has no effect on me. Now I just enjoy all music 🎶 🎵 (except for rap). I also have a Playlist just for reading 📚, it is all instrumental, well, all but 2 songs, Nessum Dorma ( Jackie Evancho, Opera) and Saturn (Sleeping At Last). Both are beautiful songs.  Take care, and stay safe. ... View more

Good Monday morning. and welcome to This Day In The History Of Music. Enjoy the read. 1). On this day in 1847, Macbeth is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi, with an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave and additions by Andrea Maffei, based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name. Written for the Teatro della Pergola in Florence, it was Verdi's tenth opera. Macbeth was the first Shakespeare play that Verdi adapted for the operatic stage. Almost twenty years later, Macbeth was revised and expanded in a French version and given in Paris on 19 April 1865. 2). On this day in 1971, The Rolling Stones chose to abandon their home country of England to avoid the amount of taxes the British government expected the band to pay.

On this day in 1972, Muddy Waters won his first Grammy Award for his 1971 album They Call Me Muddy Waters.

Metallica formed in Los Angeles, California, in late 1981 when Danish-born drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper, The Recycler, which read, "Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head, and Iron Maiden." Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement. 6). On this day in 1983, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Alec John Such formed Bon Jovi. Their fourth album, New Jersey, released in 1988, is notable for producing five Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, the most top-ten hits to date from a hard rock album. 7).

The lineup at the time consisted of guitarist Dave Matthews, drummer Carter Beauford, bassist Stefan Lessard, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore.

Born on this day 1727, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, Goldberg was born in Danzig (Gdańsk), Royal Prussia (a part of the Crown of Poland), and was baptized there on March 14, 1727, at St. Mary's Church, Gdańsk. Little is known for certain about his childhood, other than that he was an exceptionally talented performer, attracting the attention of Hermann Karl von Keyserling, the Russian ambassador to Saxony, around 1737. Goldberg was reported to have studied with both J. S. Bach and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Bach's eldest son, though the periods of study are not known; Goldberg may have studied with J. S. Bach as early as 1737, shortly after Keyserling recognized his talent in Danzig, and Goldberg may have studied with W. F. Bach at any time before 1745 since W. F. Bach was in Dresden throughout Keyserling's tenure there as ambassador. The most famous part of Goldberg's life is the portion, probably in 1741, recounted by J. S. Bach's biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, which involved the composition of a set of variations by Bach to help the insomniac Count Keyserling pass sleepless nights. Keyserling's favorite chamber harpsichordist was the 14-year-old Goldberg, whose technical accomplishments were so spectacular that they made it possible for him to perform a work of such extraordinary difficulty. According to Forkel, writing in 1802, sixty years after the event: 15). Born on this day in 1922, Les Baxter, American musician and composer Les Baxter who had the 1956 US No.1 single 'Poor People Of Paris'. In the 1960s, he formed The Balladeers, a conservative folk group in suits that at one time featured a young David Crosby. He died on 15 January 1996. 16). Born on this day in 1933, Quincy Jones, American record producer, composer, and musician Quincy Jones. He is known for his 1962 tune 'Soul Bossa Nova' and later scored the 1978 US No.1 single 'Stuff Like That'. Jones has a record 79 Grammy Award nominations and was the producer of three albums by Michael Jackson, Off The Wall, Bad, and Thriller which has now sold more than 65 million copies worldwide. 17). Born on this day in 1945, American saxophonist Walter Parazaider with Chicago, who had the 1976 UK & US No.1 single 'If You Leave Me Now. The band was formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois as The Chicago Transit Authority before shortening the name in 1970. Chicago has had five consecutive No.1 albums on the Billboard chart and 20 top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100. 18). Born on this day in 1989, Colby O'Donis Colón is an American singer. He is perhaps best known as the featured artist in the Lady Gaga single "Just Dance", which spent more than eleven months on the Billboard Hot 100. He is also well known for his lead single on his debut album Colby O titled "What You Got" featuring Akon, which peaked at number 14 on the Hot 100 and being featured on Akon's song "Beautiful", which peaked at number 19 on the Hot 100.

He has widely been recognized as an influence on several contemporary hip hop and alternative acts. His lyrics are often autobiographical and describe his childhood hardships of depression, loneliness, and alienation, his struggle with alcohol and drugs into adulthood, as well as themes of spirituality, heartbreak, dissipation, and celebration. Cudi began to gain major recognition following the release of his first official full-length project, a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi, which caught the attention of American musician Kanye West, who subsequently signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label imprint by late 2008. Pop Rock//Alternative Rock: Gotta Be Somebody by Nickleback. Gotta Be Somebody  "Gotta Be Somebody" is the first official single released from Nickelback's sixth studio album, Dark  Horse. Originally, the lead single from the album was set to be "If Today Was Your Last Day" but was changed instead to "Gotta Be Somebody".
