This Day in History, Jan. 7th

301 Years Ago on Jan. 7, 1714 The Typewriter Was Patented
An Englishman named Henry Mill filed a patent for an "artificial machine or method" to impress or transcribe letters. Three centuries later, the idea has evolved to allow the world to communicate through cyberspace and send text messages instantly through cell phones. Though the concept of a typewriter took almost a hundred years to get off the ground, and though the typewriter itself is now a thing of the past, it's fair to say this machine changed the world and helped pave the way for today's technology.
The first workable typewriter was built in 1808, and another was invented in 1870. But the standard was set by Christopher Latham Sholes and Carlos Glidden of Milwaukee. In 1867, an article on typewriters in the journal Scientific American prompted the two inventors to transform the automatic page-numbering machine Sholes was working on into a typewriter. By 1874, the Sholes and Glidden typewriter was being sold by gun-makers Remington & Sons. It introduced the now-familiar QWERTY keyboard but typed only capital letters. In 1878, the shift key provided the ability to type both uppercase and lowercase by shifting either the basket of typebars or the carriage. "Visible" typewriters gave typists the ability to actually see what they typed, unlike previous "blind" models where they had to lift the carriage to view their work.

The Remington typewriter on the left is in my home. I played with it when I was a child in the 40's. It belong to my grandfather (Ferris S. Wright), he used it in his business "Wright's Furniture & Hardware". the store was located on S. Collins St, in the 1920's, 30's & 40's It was across the street from Hagan's Cafe, that is now Snellgroves Restaurant in downtown Plant City.

77 Years Ago On Jan. 7, 1938
Paul Revere was born in Harvard, Nebraska. (Paul Revere & The Raiders)
Sadly Paul Revere passed away last year on Oct. 4th, he was known as the last Mad Man of Rock & Roll.
The Raiders often performed in Revolutionary War-style costumes, and Mr. Revere was known for his tri-corner hats. Its hits, with Mark Lindsay on lead vocals, were upbeat 1960s pop-rock, encompassing the near-garage surliness of “Kicks,” the folk-rock of “Him or Me — What’s It Gonna Be?” and the orchestrated pop of the band’s biggest hit, “Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian),” which reached No. 1 in 1971 and sold over a million copies.
Paul was the band’s organist and was known for his manic energy onstage. In an online tribute, the band remembered him from a fan’s perspective as “a larger-than-life dynamo of high-energy slapstick, outrageous and spontaneous humor and a genuine childlike joy.” CLICK HERE FOR HIS FACEBOOK PAGE CLICK HERE FOR HIS WEBSITE

Neil Richardet I can remember washing my fathers 1967 White Pontiac Parisienne while listening to this song and many other great songs on my AM radio. You know when you would work to get some spending money to be able to go to the local dance. Those days seemed so enchanted or haunted or both.
sherrylynn70 Rest in Peace Paul and thank you for the years...seems like just yesterday.
Tammy Bailey RIP PAUL REVERE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED
Elvira Gallegos One of my fave "Paul Revere and the Raiders" songs.
FA Barragan I am so glad that I had a chance to see him last year. He always gave us 100% even in his ailing condition!

Weekly Horoscope: For Jan. 4, 2015 by Georgia Nicols
This is for the week of Jan. 4th thru Jan. 11th
All Signs: Because this is my first weekly column of the year, here is brief highlight for 2015 (once again) because not everyone read my annual forecasts. And anyhow, it's good to have another review of the year so that you're ready for the snap quiz I'm going to spring on you next Thursday. It's an advantage knowing what the year ahead can bring because you know how to play your hand better. You know when to hold and when to fold; and you also know when to the bet the farm. (That is not a set up for a pig karate pork chop joke.)
