This Day in Music

The folks from the website www.thisdayinmusic.com have released a book about; yep you guessed it, musical facts, album/song chart positions, births and deaths of musicians on each day of the year. It is quite large for the rock music buff, with over 10,000 facts about music for the last 50 years, I knew when I saw it I could not resist. Here is a fun fact for today, in 1969, Peter Tork quit the Monkees, buying himself out of his contract for $ 160,000, which left him broke. There are a whole lot of facts like this in the book and it is well worth a purchase.
