Over the hills and far away


From last night's concert, the first annual Follies concert. Great, great stuff, wow! If you're reading this, and you were in the show: GOOD JOB, dayum! Pictured are Russel and Taylor, playing Over the Hills and Far Away. Guys, you rocked!

Henry Purcell and Maurice Ravel were both born on this day (1659 and 1875).

In 1935, New York City revoked all organ-grinder monkey licenses.

And in 1976, a block of ice the size of a basketball smashed into the roof of a house in Timberville, Virginia, and surprised three people who were watching television. Neighbours who rushed to find out what the noise had been, saw another ice bomb land 50 yards away 20 seconds later.
