Re: Rock & Roll History Dept. Jan 1st & more...

Your book isn't the only thing that's got goofy dates, t.  I had a
couple this morning on the site I use that were way out.  Evidently,
they think January 23, 1889 is "Hurrdi" Ledbetter's birthday (wrong
name, wrong date, wrong year!).  Also, it said that January 23, 1950,
was the birthday of guitarist for The Doobie Brothers, Pat Simmons,
when his birthday is really October 19, 1948!  Wow!  So, the
misinformation is rampant.  One nice thing is that if we continue this
all year, we will have a pretty correct and definitive "on this day in
music history" collection.  I'm planning on cutting and pasting all
the info and put it into its own file.  After everything is logged and
corrected, maybe we can sell that to Maxell.
