Events on This Day
1803 - Over 2,300 meteorite stones, weighing between one quarter ounce and 20 pounds, rained down on the people of L’Aigle in northeastern France. The meteorites poured down along an 8-mile-long strip in this little town, 100 miles west of Paris. No one was hurt; but it was the first time scientists could verify that stones could come from outer space.1819 - The first Odd Fellows lodge in the U.S. was established -- in Baltimore, Maryland. The official name of the organization is the Independent Order (of) Odd Fellows or IOOF. You can see these initials on many buildings in communities throughout the country. These are the Odd Fellows halls where the local, secret fraternal benefit meets. The first Odd Fellows group started in Great Britain in the 18th century.
1921 - Weather broadcasts were heard for the first time on radio when WEW in St. Louis, MO aired weather news. Weather forecasts continue to be the top reason why people listen to radio; rating higher than music, news, sports and commercials! A sunny day to you wherever you may be on the planet...
1931 - KTHS radio in Hot Springs, Arkansas presented Lum and Abner for the first time. The soon-to-become popular program continued for 24 years on all four radio networks of the day: CBS, ABC, Mutual and NBC. Lum and Abner hailed from the fictitious town of Pine Ridge. Fictitious, that is, before 1936, when Waters, Arkansas, changed its name to Pine Ridge.
1932 - Ed Wynn was heard on radio’s Texaco Star Theater for the first time. Wynn, a popular vaudeville performer, demanded a live audience to react to his humor if he was to make the switch to radio. The network consented and Wynn became radio’s first true superstar. He would later make the switch to TV.
1937 - This was a tragic day in history as German planes attacked the town of Guernica in Northern Spain. Without warning, the planes swooped down on the sleepy village, subjecting the citizens to three hours of continuous bombing. Guernica was left in flames; those who survived the bombs and tried to escape to surrounding fields were shot down by machine-gun fire from the air.
1937 - The publisher of LIFE magazine just about passed out when he looked at his just-off-the-press publication and noticed that someone had forgotten to put the word “LIFE” in the upper left-hand corner! It was the only time that LIFE was nameless. Since hundreds of thousands of copies were already printed, the magazine hit the streets with no name on the cover! The reason? A picture of a rooster would have had an obscured comb if the logotype had been used in the upper left-hand corner as usual.
1937 - The initial broadcast of Lorenzo Jones was heard over NBC radio this day. Karl Swenson played the lead role for the entire run of the serial. And quite a run it was. Lorenzo Jones was on the air until 1955.
1941 - The first organ was played at a baseball stadium -- for the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL.
1945 - Henri-Philippe Petain, head of France’s Vichy government, was arrested. He was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death for aiding the German enemy. The sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. Petain died in prison in 1951.

1977 - Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager opened Studio 54 in an old theatre and TV studio in New York. The disco, at 254 W. 54th Street, just off Broadway, became one of the most well-known clubs in the U.S.

1984 - Jazz great Count Basie (William Basie) died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 79. Basie was a popular U.S. bandleader for over 30 years. His orchestra was made up of acclaimed soloists, such as tenor saxophonist Lester Young and vocalist Jimmy Rushing. Basie and his big band had over 32 hit records from 1937 to 1968. The Count Basie Orchestra’s biggest hit was a 1947 novelty song called Open the Door Richard. He is also remembered for swing classics like Jumpin’ at the Woodside and One O’Clock Jump (the band’s theme song).
1986 - It was 1:23 a.m. in Pripyat in the Ukraine when the Chernobyl atomic power station exploded.

1990 - Wesley Rose, a major force in Nashville music publishing for 40 years, died at age 72. In 1945, Rose took over the Acuff-Rose publishing company formed by his father, Fred Rose, and Grand Ole Opry star Roy Acuff. Wesley Rose developed the firm into Nashville’s most powerful music publisher, with operations in 10 foreign countries. He ran the company until 1985 when he and Acuff sold it to Opryland USA for $22 million.
