Random On This Day in Music History Update

As I have mentioned before I tried an RSS feed for this site but it doesn't work very well. Nevertheless I try to read it daily and the history on certain days can be astounding - This Day in Music.

• Robert Zimmerman graduated high school.
• The Stones played their first ever US date.
• Jim Hodder (Steely Dan, Sammy Hagar), Conway Twitty, Ronnie Lane, Dee Dee Ramone & Mel Torme all killed by death.

And this little tidbit:

"1975, During recording sessions for Wish You Were Here at Abbey Road Studios, London, England, Syd Barrett turned up out of the blue as Pink Floyd were listening to playbacks of Shine On You Crazy Diamond — a song that happened to be about Barrett. By that time, the 29-year-old Barrett had shaved off all of his hair (including his eyebrows), become overweight, and his ex-bandmates did not at first recognize him. Barrett eventually left without saying goodbye, and none of the band members ever saw him again."
