Non-musical history for today: 1960 – The United States Navy submarine USS Triton completed the first submerged circumnavigation of the globe. It remained entirely submerged for 60 days, 21 hours, only rising to periscope depth for navigation/ventilation and once to pass a sick sailor to the USS Macon, without breaking the “submerged” status. Impressive, but man, I bet those sailors were in dire want of sunlight.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for April

Non-musical history for today: 1985 – Coca-Cola changed its formula and released New Coke.

Non-musical history for today: 1865 – U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was shot in Ford’s Theatre by John Wilkes Booth; Lincoln died the following day.

Non-musical history for today: 1820 – The Venus de Milo was discovered on the Aegean island of Milos. Think about that. Discovered in 1820, but was most likely sculptured sometime between 165-110 BC.

The most speculated is attributed to Alexandros from Antioch on the Maeander, but again, there’s no true
