Valentina Tereshkova

I was asked in a triva game "Who was the 1st lady in space"? I answered, I do not know her name but she was Russian. The game answered it was Sally Ride. I suppose Sally is much easier to remember than Valentina.  Here is the correct answer. ...... Jack

Patsy Cline - Arthur Godfrey TV Show (1957)

In 1957 (62 years ago) Jan. 21 Patsy Cline debuted with  Arthur Godfrey's  talent  show.
-------------------------------------------------
I was setting in a club bar having a beer after the day was done when a young couple came in. The male ordered a beer and the girl ordered a coke, it was plane to see the girl was under 21. She strolled back to the back where the juke box was located. She stood infront of it for quite a while, she then retured to the bar and said to the barmaid,"What kind of a bar is this? there is no Patsy Cline songs on that juke box". This incident has always stuck in my mine because this cute little girl was not even 21 years old and Patsy Cline had died some 20+ years before she was born. This just shows that Patsy Cline's music will live forever.
