Music Monday - It was today ...

Today in 1939, Woody Herman and his brilliant orchestra recorded "Woodchopper’s Ball."
	In 1954, Bill Haley and the Comets recorded "Rock Around the Clock." The song was released a year later in the movie "Blackboard Jungle."
In 1966, Jan Barry (Jan & Dean) crashed his car at "Dead Man's Curve."
	In 1969, Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" was released. And perhaps the quest for the most perfect song was over for a while.

The Boxer's a wonderful, wonderful song. I especially appreciate the updated set of lyrics toward the end - it kinda brings P&A and all the rest of us full circle.

Thanks. The first time I heard it was in a live performance. I will never forget it.
