Birthdays And Anniversaries For April 17th + Bat Appreciation Day

If this is your birthday on this finally Friday, congratulations! Here's a bit of country music history for this date. 1970-Johnny Cash plays the White House with June Carter and The Statler Brothers. Cash declines President Nixon's request to do Merle Haggard's "Okie From Muskogee" but does perform "Folsom Prison Blues," "Peace In The Valley" and "What Is Truth". 2004-The Judds make their Grand Ole Opry debut, performing "Flies On The Butter (You Can't Go Home Again)" and "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout The Good Old Days)". 2009-Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley welcome their second son, Jasper Warren Paisley, at a Nashville hospital.

This Is Bat Appreciation Day!

No, we're not batty, we just think bats should get a little respect today. After all, they won't bother you, if you don't bother them.

Gardeners, should certainly appreciate them, because bat guano is among the best manures you can use, in your home garden.
