You are welcome for the ping. :-)
I love that poem too. Even though most all of us here honor our military daily and keep our troops high on our prayer list, still, it never hurts to be reminded that while we go about our lives in relative safety, there are men and women putting their lives on the line so we can do just that.
Have a great day, SheLion.

Good clowns are getting hard to find, since so many have gone into politics or journalism. But here's a few. And BTW, do y'all know what other notable event occurred on this date?

This is the day Rock-and-Roll music really began, with the recording of Bill Haley and the Comets
Rock around the ClockTrue, "Rock Around the Clock" wasn't the first Rock and Roll record. It wasn't even the first Rock and Roll record to become a national hit -- Bill Haley's own "Crazy Man Crazy" had hit the charts in 1953, and he scored a major worldwide hit with "Shake Rattle and Roll" in 1954, months after recording "Rock Around the Clock" which was at first considered a commercial disappointment. Meanwhile, an obscure truck driver in Memphis named Elvis Presley started to generate some buzz in the summer of 1954 with his own brand of rockabilly recordings out of Sun Records in Memphis. But it was "Rock Around the Clock" that finally opened the floodgates.
Bill Haley and the Comets' seminal version of "Rock Around the Clock" celebrates its 50th anniversary on April 12th, 2004. Over the years, many writers have tried to downplay its impact on popular music, just as revisionists continually try to reduce if not eliminate Haley's place in the history of Rock and Roll. Several recent major publications and documentaries on the so-called 50th Anniversary of Rock and Roll omit Haley and "Rock Around the Clock" completely.
But there was at least one even more spectacular event, if maybe one with less widespread impact, more focused on one individual. But what that individual might have gone on to accomplish....

What's this?
A post that's NOT about Jan Berry?
GOOD!
Pinging WKB and speedy to the anniversary of Rock n' Roll.
I remember the song well,
but not from 1953.
Even I was very YOUNG in '53.
