On This Day in 1959

Posted on September 12, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Bonanza Premieres (September 12, 1959) For the first two years, I never watched Bonanza on a consistent basis. Why? Because it aired at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, and as any Canadian knows, that’s Hockey Night in Canada. But, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 8, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Michelangelo’s David is Unveiled (September 8, 1504 [OS]) It’s not often that one looks at the unveiling of a statue as its birth, since few statues take on a life of its own. However, with this one, I’m going to … Continue reading →
