I learned something new yesterday when I was watching Music & The Spoken Word. They were celebrating 84 years of the broadcast saying that they started the radio program the summer of 1929. My mom (seen here on the right) was born that same summer of 1929. Music & The Spoken Word is the longest running broadcast of its kind. My mom is still "running" too! She and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are starting their 85th year.
Other happenings in the year 1929: the wall street crash ushering in the Great Depression; the 1st Academy Awards for film was held in LA; books published that year included two WWI novels "All quiet on the western front" and "A Farewell to Arms"; In NY the Museum of Modern Art opened; the price of gas was .21/gal;
