This month in history
On November 4, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was crowned as Pope John XXIII.
And then, speaking of muppets, on November 20th puppeteers Jim and Jane Henson establish Muppets, Inc. They had been making films for three years prior, but until 1968 the majority of its work was was in advertising; appearances on late-night talk shows; and short “meeting films” primarily for enterprise use. In 1968 it began working on the new show, “Sesame Street”…
And finally this month the new UNESCO building, World Heritage Centre, was inaugurated in Paris.
What’d Sadie think?
A mixed lot at the top this month. “It’s All In The Game” by Tommy Edwards for a week then “It’s Only Make Believe” by Conway Twitty sandwiches “Tom Dooley” by the Kingston Trio in the 2nd and last week.
