"Do not treat me in this fashion. Don't leave me out. Have I not
Always spoken the truth in my books? And now
You treat me like a liar! I order you:
Burn me!"

Creighton Tull Chaney, known as Lon Chaney, Jr., was born on 10 February 1906. I choose to keep some of the lesser films he made at arm's length irrespective of the reasons he appeared in them. I think of "The Wolf Man" and "Of Mice and Men" and a fine supporting role in "The Defiant Ones."

I believe Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell features on a wall display especially dedicated to “Women in Science“ at Armagh Planetarium. 🪐
Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen

"...Drummer Buddy Rich cited Webb's powerful technique and virtuoso performances as heavily influential on his own drumming, and even referred to Webb as 'the daddy of them all'..."

Diminutive in physical stature only, drummer and bandleader Chick Webb was born on 10 February 1905.

June 1965: Bruce McLaren in his Climax-powered Cooper T77 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. He qualified ninth for the Grand Prix of Belgium and finished a very respectable third behind Jackie Stewart (BRM P261) and winner Jim Clark in his Lotus 33.

From 1999, "Get A Move On" in which Mr. Scruff intrigues me by sampling and blending "Bird's Lament" by Moondog, "Hypin' Woman Blues" by T-Bone Walker and "That's The Blues" by Rubberlegs Williams.

This is the shortened 'radio edit' version.
