What’s Wacky Today?
Today is International
Jazz Day* and Amnesty Day! Now my research
tells me that International Jazz Day was on (and is on) April 30th;
maybe we just can’t get enough? Don’t ask me; I just work here. Just to be on
the safe side, I think I’ll listen to some good jazz today. Amnesty Day has to
do with protecting people’s rights around the world; that’s a big task. What is
sometimes a bigger task is to know what a “right” really is. Here in America
basic rights include: right to life, to hold property, the right to liberty and
pursue happiness. That’s about it (which is a lot). Much of what is going
around today as “rights” are things that actually infringe on these basic
rights. This weekend we remember who died to defend those rights on Memorial
Day.

quote about blues and jazz below.

What Wacky happened on this date in
the past?
In 585 BC a
battle outside of Sardis in western Turkey ends in a draw as it is interrupted
by a solar eclipse; the Medes and the Lydians must have thought it was a “sign”.
We could use more “signs” of peace like that today! On this date in 1805,
Napoleon Bonaparte is crowned in Milan, Italy. Congress authorizes Indian “removal”
from all states to the western Prairie in 1830. A regiment of African-American
recruits called The 54th Massachusetts, left Boston for Hilton Head,
South Carolina in 1863. Willie Mays In 1953 the first animated
3-D cartoon in Technicolor premiered; named Melody. We celebrate Amnesty Day
today because back in 1953, on today’s date the organization was founded. 1980 First women to graduate from West Point Military Academy
happened back in 1980.

If you were
born today, you probably speak first and then think; and don’t like to be
forced to interact in large groups. People born on this date don’t like to go
to the doctor. They typically are good with their money, loners and hard
workers. They like routine so their marriages are usually those of convenience.
