Have YOU heard that February 3rd is the day the music died – I’ll explain what tragedy happened later in the show – but first…
TODAY is National Carrot Cake Day. Speaking of sweet celebrations, here’s a crunchy fact – carrots were first grown for medicine, not food!

And here’s a fact that’ll feed your curiosity – Norman Rockwell, the legendary American artist, was born on this day in 1894. He created over 4,000 original artworks in his lifetime! That’s enough paintings to fill a museum – which, by the way, actually exists in Stockbridge, Massachusetts!

The #1 country song on February 3rd 2010 was The Truth by Jason Aldean.
