@ErickPandora I have had these two incidents happen in my life, and yes I was sober, and no one else was with me when they happened. One night while sleeping I woke up because I was pushed, and another time while I was sleeping I woke up because someone screamed my name while standing in my room. I got up both times, of course, I looked in every room of my place and there was no one. I cannot explain it, but I know it happened it was just as real then as it is just as real as I respond to this thread.  Have a great night, take care and stay safe.  ... View more

Good Wednesday morning, and welcome to This Day In The History Of Music. Enjoy the read.   1. On this day in 1858 1st performance of the NY Symphony Orchestra.      (SideNote:) On This Day In Music History has it dated 1858, but This Day In Music makes no mention of it whatsoever, and according to Wikipedia The New York Symphony Orchestra was founded as the New York Symphony Society in New York City by Leopold Damrosch in 1878. For many years it was a fierce rival to the older Philharmonic Symphony Society of New York (New York Philharmonic). It was supported by Andrew Carnegie who built Carnegie Hall (opened in 1891) expressly for the orchestra. (SideNote) Personally, I agree with Wikipedia on this information my reason for agreeing is the simple fact Wikipedia provides a piece of more in-depth information about this event in music history. If you as the reader wish to look further into this conflicting event then please do so, and whatever information you find please share it, but I would also kindly ask that you provide all sources that you obtained your information. I do try my very best to post nothing but true facts in this post. 2. On this day in 1955 The Everly Brothers made their first studio recordings cutting four tracks in 22 minutes, at Nashville's Old Tulane Hotel studios. Family friend Chet Atkins engineered a chance for The Everly Brothers to record for Columbia Records in early 1956. However, their first and only single for the label, 'Keep A' Lovin' Me', was a flop, and they were quickly dropped from Columbia. 3. On this day in 1958  Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel" single became just the third record to sell more than 3 million copies, following Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Gene Autry's " Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer." After writing this song with Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller got married and went on a trip to Europe. 4. On this day in 1966 John Lennon met Yoko Ono for the first time when he visited her art exhibition 'Unfinished Paintings and Objects' at the Indica Gallery in London. 5. On this day in 1968 Joe Cocker's version of The Beatle's song "With A Little Help From My Friends" becomes the No. 1 single in the UK. To this day, six years after his passing, Joe Cocker’s version of the Sgt. Pepper's song ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ remains an integral part of his legacy. The Beatles are likely the most covered artist in the world but very rarely do those covers surpass the original. 6. On this day in 1968 Led Zeppelin played their first ever London show when they appeared at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm on the same bill as John Lee Hooker, Deviants, John James, and Tyres. Zeppelin singer Robert Plant married his girlfriend Maureen in London on this day and held the reception at the gig.  7. On this day in 1969 Simon and Garfunkel recorded what would become their signature tune, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water with a future member of Bread, Larry Knechtel on piano. Art wanted Paul to sing the song, but Paul insisted that Art's voice was better suited for it. It was a decision that Paul would later say he regretted. The song won five awards at the 13th Annual Grammy Awards in 1971, including the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. 8. On this day in 1973 Columbia Records releases "Piano Man", singer-songwriter Billy Joel's second studio album. (SideNote:) This is from On This Day in Music History, according to Wikipedia "Piano Man" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel. His first single in North America was included on Joel's 1973 album of the same name and later released as a single on November 2, 1973. The song is sung from Joel's point of view as a piano player at a bar, reminiscing about his experiences there and the people he encountered. "Piano Man" is based on Joel's real-life experiences as a lounge musician in Los Angeles from 1972 to 1973, which he had decided to pursue in an effort to escape his contracted New York City-based record company at the time, Family Productions, following the poor commercial performance of the album Cold Spring Harbor. Joel describes various characters, including a bartender named John and a "real estate novelist" named Paul, all based on real-life individuals. (Please Feel Free) you can research further if you so choose, but again I kindly ask please provide any additional information with all sources.  9. On this day in 1974 Bachman Turner Overdrive went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet'. Randy Bachman stuttered through the lyrics of the demo recording as a private joke about his brother Gary, who had a speech impediment.

Good Wednesday morning dear friend.    Sometimes this is exactly what you go through in life, climbing a mountain, a mountain of problems, heartache, divorce, a heartbreaking breakup that was a complete shock, financial hardships, or the passing of a close friend or loved one. The list goes on. You feel like you're going to fall, there is no hope, the feeling you will never see another beautiful moment in your life ever again. Dear friend you will, nearing the top of the mountain is the hardest of the climb, you are tired, exhausted, weary, and just about worn out. Your climb is successful when you don't "QUIT".   The view from the top is always worth the climb, this is what quitters miss out on. Life always trades your storms with life's beauty, that is the thing called the circle of life. If you continue you will see what I say is true, I have climbed, and I'm still climbing, so keep climbing with me, and I will with you. Quitting is easy, and continuing on is hard, but it makes you stronger, and wiser, it also gives you the knowledge to help others make the climb that you already made. Keep climbing friend.  Have a great Wednesday friend, take care and stay safe.  ... View more

Good Tuesday morning dear friend.  Dear friend, how many times have we driven by, walked by, or just looked at beautiful breathtaking photos of flower gardens, how some people just poured out their heart's love to such extravagant detail to have their home surrounded with such beauty?  So why is it we can have such a passion to make our homes look so beautiful because of our love for beauty, but yet we make such little effort maintaining our love for the beautiful ones who live in our hearts? Being with the one you love was only the beginning of the love's journey, for that love needs constant planting, trimming, weeding, and watering, it needs constant attention with caring and loving detail, just like a gorgeous, breathtaking, extravagant flower garden. A garden grows my dear friend, and so does love, but for both to grow it needs constant care and GREAT attention to detail. Have a great Tuesday dear friend, take care and stay safe.  ... View more
