Is music ok for this thread?

Hope so;

April 17th

1960: At age 21, Eddie Cochran was killed, in the UK, when a taxi he was riding in struck a lamp post on Rowden Hill, Chippenham, Wiltshire -- the taxi driver was convicted of "dangerous driving", fined £50, disqualified from driving for 15 years and imprisoned for six months

Plus, in a way of introduction (and proof that I am not a BOT/Spammer), my name is Randall, from Fort Worth TX.

Have a great day!
