50 YEARS AGO TONIGHT

On this night 50 years ago, Alexis Koerner's Blues Incorporated was offered a spot on a BBC radio program, so they offerred their usual Thursday night spot at the Marquee Club to a new blues band that was calling itself "The ROLLIN' Stones", who were playing their first show.  As we know, the rest would be history, as the G on the name, Andrew Loog Oldham, Billy Wyman, and Charlie Watts would come within a year, and the Rolling Stones would be on their way to becoming the "Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World".
