Since this day in history, the last day of February

offers nothing historically exciting

I am going to go ahead and make up a bunch

of stuff for fun of course

On this day in History-,..people-,..:)..

The Sony Walkman was invented! :)

Forever changing the the way we view and see the world.

An evolutionary improvement!

Kate Bush began her first, and only: tour. Becoming the worlds

first artist to use a wireless microphone

on stage allowing her to sing and dance at the same time.

Forever changing the way we view and see the world!

A concert stage performance improvement!

Rod Stewart married Alana Hamilton. That lucky guy!

PS Some guys really do have all the luck!

The Eurovision Song Contest chooses "Hallelujah" sung by Gali Atari as its winning song

A few months after winning the song is translated into more than 82 languages, breaking the previous Guiness record as

most translated song in the world.

So of course none of these otherwise very true life events ever actually transpired on this

d8 in history circa February 28th. But they all do have one other thing in common; regardless :

They all happened in the year 1979!

Just like the death of disco, which may not have an actual date of occurence.

But there was a "Disco Demolition Night", an anti-disco promotional event for a Chicago rock station involving exploding disco records with a bomb.

It caused a near-riot between games during a baseball major league doubleheader, forcing the cancellation of the second game.

But sorry it was not actually that the Walkman was "invented"

in the year 1979. That just happens to be the year it went on sale. In Japan.:)

So well thanks for playing along its been fun. So more on this trivial sideshow of actual trivia: do you know which song was the very first song to be converted and

played in MP3 format.?
