[Dixielandjazz] Happy Birthday

[J McClernan]

And...
20 July is the 709th anniversary of the fall of Stirling Castle, the last rebel stronghold in the Scottish Wars for Independence from England, where OKOM is now more popular than in the USA.

20 July 1773, the first large contingent of Scots arrive in Pictou, Nova Scotia ("new Scotland") to establish the first permanent communities, a country that produced Bucky Adams, B.B. King's favorite saxophonist.

20 July, 142 years ago, British Columbia joined the confederation of Canada, birth-land of Guy and Carmen Lombardo.

20 July 1917, the World War I National Draft Lottery was held in Washington DC, hometown for the likes of Duke Ellington, Shirley Horn and Billy Taylor.

My 2¢.
Cheers,
John
