Wednesday, August 20, 2008 -- Gentleman Jim Day

http://www.440.com/twtd/today.html

No steel guitar, no fiddle for Jim Reeves. The man who turned country into pop-country, becoming the first big country-crossover artist, and possibly, the most popular, was born on this day in 1923 in Galloway, Panola County, Texas.

In his short life (he died in a plane crash near Nashville in 1964), Jim Reeves played minor-league baseball hoping to pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals (that career was ended by an injury), was a radio announcer and an entertainer (Louisiana Hayride), and had more than forty top-ten country hits and over two dozen in the pop Hot 100.

His second release, Mexican Joe, was #1 and was quickly followed by the #2 hit, Bimbo. He wrote and performed the hits Yonder Comez a $ucker, Am I Losing You, and I’m Getting Better. A slew of #2 hits, including Losing Your Love, Adios Amigo, I’m Gonna Change Everything and Welcome to My World were only slightly overshadowed by the number ones, Billy Bayou, He’ll Have to Go, I Guess I’m Crazy and his biggest pop and country hit, Four Walls.

‘Gentleman’ Jim Reeves was elected posthumously to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967, with his fans continuing to make his songs into #1 hits. From 1964 through 1967, there was This is It, Is It Really Over?, Distant Drums, Blue Side of Lonesome, I Won’t Come in While He’s There. Singers Deborah Allen and Patsy Cline did duets with Reeves through the magic of electronic recording. Deborah sang Take Me in Your Arms and Hold Me with Reeves for a 1980 hit, and Cline sang with Reeves’ voice in the 1981 hit, Have You Ever Been Lonely?

Tonight, if you watch TV, you’ll have a pretty good chance to buy a Jim Reeves record collection from a commercial selling Reeves on CD or cassette.

On this day...August 18, 1834

Mt. Vesuvius erupts

"It is 79 A.D. and Pompeii is a bustling Roman city on the Mediterranean coast blessed with beautiful weather, built on fertile ground and filled with lively people. Towering above the city walls lies Mount Vesuvius whose green slopes and lush mountainside add to the splendor of the landscape. It is the end of August and the summer has been hot and dry, the sea is swelling and the ground is vibrating slightly. Nature is talking, but no one is listening. "

"Suddenly, the mountain explodes and the unthinkable happens as nearby Mount Vesuvius violently erupts. Ash and pumice rain down from the sky and 20,000 people perish. Buried with them are their villas, treasures, pets and loved ones. The people and their city are forgotten for 1,700 years."

"But what nature destroyed, it also preserved."

"Now, you can journey back in time to experience A Day in Pompeii and discover everyday life in the ancient Roman city, marveling at hundreds of exceptional objects including room-size frescoes, marble sculptures, gold coins and exquisite jewelry. "

"A Day in Pompeii offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience! A Day in Pompeii is a collaboration of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompeii and the host American institutions, the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center, the Science Museum of Minnesota, the San Diego Natural History Museum along with Discovery Place. A Day in Pompeii will only be in four US cities; Charlotte being the final destination before leaving the United States."

"A Day in Pompeii is on exhibition from July 11, 2008 through January 4, 2009. "
