Beeswax Vinyl Daily Timothy G Beeman II

Non-musical history for today: 1495 – A monk, John Cor, recorded the first known batch of Scotch whisky. The spelling of the term whisky is often debated by journalists and consumers. Scottish, English, Welsh, Australian, and Canadian whiskies use whisky, Irish whiskies use whiskey, while American and other styles vary in their spelling of the term. I spell it D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

Non-musical history for today: 2003 – Air France retired its fleet of Concorde aircraft. There were a multitude of factors that led to Concorde's retirement – both commercial and safety-related. The aircraft was noisy and extremely expensive to operate, which restricted flight availability and meant that fares were often prohibitively high for many consumers. I think there were other environmental factors, as well.



2005 – Vanity Fair revealed that Mark Felt was "Deep Throat". Deep Throat was the pseudonym given to the secret informant who provided information in 1972 to Bob Woodward, who shared it with Carl Bernstein, which led to the event known as "The Watergate Scandal."

Non-musical history for today: 1830 – U.S. President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which denies Native Americans their land rights and forcibly relocates them. Some claim that Jackson was a good man. Everything that I read makes him out to be an arsehole.

Non-musical history for today: 1199 – John was crowned King of England. Yes, this is the brother of Richard III. Yes, this is the notorious "Prince John" in Robin Hood folklore. Sing it with me, "Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest, laughing back and forth at what the other'n has to say."
