Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history. In fact,
2
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:36.960
dud it's about today today, September the seventeenth legend. That
3
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.399
is the only song we could find that even mentions
4
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.320
apple dumplings. Today is National Apple Dumpling Day. A tasty
5
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.920
little dessert. They go back to the seventeen forties. They're
6
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.000
created up in the northeast, so New England. They're pretty
7
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.119
easy to make. You just peel and course some apple,
8
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.000
sprinkle alma, some cinnamon and sugar yep, wrap them in
9
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.679
little pastries and baked. Yeah, it tastes like little apple pies.
10
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:05.599
Today is also International Country Music Day. I know country music.
11
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.359
It is popular world wide. It is global and international.
12
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.680
It really wasn't until the nineteen nineties. That's when Garth
13
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.079
Brooks and Shania Twain and that whole crowd they got
14
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.319
the worldwide attention to it. It's more popular every year now.
15
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.400
As you've heard me talk about. We have an internet
16
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.959
radio station called Country Underground Radio. We play independent and
17
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.359
up and coming country radio country's artists. Now we don't
18
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.000
mention listeners though we have listeners from all over the world.
19
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.480
Every month we have over eighty countries that listen to
20
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.319
us now most popular in Europe and South America. Yeah,
21
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.560
we're really big in Brazil and don't know why, but
22
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.760
for some reason we're like the number one internet country
23
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.879
radio station over in Denmark. But we have listeners all

00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.519
been blacklisted, stars Woody Allen, Zero, Maustrel and Hershey Bernardi.
53
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.680
All right, what happened on September the seventeenth, sixteen eighty three.
54
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.680
A Dutch scientist, his name is Antone van Leemanwook. He
55
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.639
made his own type microscope and he's looking at some
56
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.079
pond water and he saw these little animals in there,
57
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.759
so he called them animal kules. Now now we call
58
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.000
them bacteria now. The guy I had studied a lot
59
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.920
after today, he actually the one who figured out protozoa
60
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.240
and a whole bunch of other single cell organisms. Seventeen
61
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.879
eighty seven in Congress, they sent the Constitution of the
62
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.560
United States to the States. Yes, so they could be ratified,
63
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.720
and they take two years or come back to Congress
64
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.680
in seventeen eighty nine. Now I've told you about some
65
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.920
of the great things that he had Tubman had done
66
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.839
over the years. What all started today eighteen forty nine
67
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.560
in Maryland. Now, her and two of her brothers, they
68
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.600
actually escaped slavery nineteen oh eight, Orvile and Woverwright. They
69
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.920
were at the U. S. Army base in Fort Myers, Virginia. Now,
70
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.560
the Army was kind of interested on buying some of
71
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.879
them airplanes, so it was Orval's job. He had to
72
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.680
show the army how safe and practical the planes would
73
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.399
actually be. So he took twenty six year old Lieutenant
74
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.839
Thomas Selfridge on a test flight. Over two thousand people
75
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.439
had gathered to watch them. They owed and odd as
76
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.839
they flew over the parade grounds and everything. Then the
77
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.199
propeller broke off, so they were about one hundred and
78
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.920
fifty feet high, hit nose first rid into the ground.
79
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.519
Now they didn't have seat belts, so Orville and Thomas
80
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.759
they were both thrown from the plane. Thomas he hit
81
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.360
his head fractures a skull, and he died orvill He
82
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.360
had just spent a month and a half in a hospital,
83
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.800
had broken leg and hips and ribs and all kinds
84
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.319
of things like that. So Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, he was
85
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.800
buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. He has the
86
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.600
honor of being the first person ever killed in an
87
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.279
airplane crash. I guess it's kind of an honor. Now.
88
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.639
When the Army did the autopsy on Thomas, they realized
89
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.360
that had he not hit his head, he would have lived,
90
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.399
ye had None of his other injuries were life threatening.
91
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.720
So the army they did buy some planes from the
92
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.959
Wright brothers, but they made all their pilots for helmets.
93
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.199
Now do you remember, not too long ago I told
94
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.600
you about how Germany had invaded Poland from the west,
95
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.120
and that's basically what started World War One? Both today
96
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.959
in nineteen thirty nine, just a couple of weeks later,
97
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.959
Soviet Union they invaded Poland from the east. Now they
98
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.199
were not trying to help Poland out. No, the Soviets
99
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.079
wanted Eastern Poland, so they wanted to get it before
100
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.079
Germany got to it. On CBS, the TV State Network.
101
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.600
Nineteen sixty seven, both The Doors and The Who made
102
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.639
their first appearances on American TV. The Doors they went
103
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.720
on the Ed Sullivan Show. I think you might have
104
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.120
heard about that. That's what Jim Morrison. He sang a
105
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.959
song and he did not change the lyrics like he
106
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.920
said he was going to. So he was really evnsive
107
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.720
and they banned him from CBS after that. On the
108
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.639
smother Brothers Comedy Hour. You know, the Smothers Brothers were big.
109
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.680
They had their own TV show. Well, they had The
110
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.680
Who and The Who. They rocked out their song My Generation.
111
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.720
Then towards the end of the song, Who's drummer Keith
112
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.040
Moon blew up his drum kit, made Pete de Townsend
113
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.240
deafinite one ear now The Who. They were banned from CBS.
114
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:14.079

by one name. She sold her fifty million records all
200
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.200
in Europe, Nope, in the United States. She hadn't sold
201
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.240
squad out nothing. And she's an American. She was born
202
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.039

00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:11.679
Now.
206
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.960
Besides Europe, she's also really big in Australia. She won
207
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.919
their third season of the Mass Singer, so that's really big.
208
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.000
But yeah, she never has had to hit song in
209
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.480
the United States. Fifty million oh worldwide. None in the
210
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.320
United States. Now, they don't even really release her songs
211
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.120
here in the United States anymore because it's not worth
212
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.519
her time. I don't know, she's pretty and she can sing.
213
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.000
I guess we just don't want to listen to her.
214
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.639
She's actually on tour in the UK right now. So
215
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.840
when she's done, she'll come back to the United States.
216
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.600
She'll record an album, they'll ship it over to Europe
217
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.960
and then she'll go over there and to Europe to
218
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.039
sport it next year. She's a tough, tough lady. At thirteen,
219
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.840
she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. At thirty four, she
220
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.279
beat breast cancer at thirty nine, she beat breast cancer again.
221
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.200
So she's been happy and healthy for about eighteen years now.
222
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.320
She married one time for only three years. Alright here
223
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.000
quote of the day. It comes from comedian Red Skelton.
224
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.679
He died today in nineteen ninety seven and eighty four
225
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.240
