Eckhartz Everyday

 


*Today is Peter Frampton's birthday. He is featured in Bobby Skafish's Eckhartz Press book We Have Company: Four Decades of Rock and Roll Encounters  (Photo: Frampton and Bobby in the Loop studios)


*On this day in 1954, Joseph Nye Welch made his famous retort to Senator Joseph McCarthy, "At long last sir, have you no decency!" John Records Landecker talks about that day in his book Records Truly Is My Middle Name, because his first wife Judy was Joseph Nye Welch's granddaughter. You can read the excerpt here.



*On this day in 2018, Beth Jacobellis' book Cameo became available for purchase in the French Quarter of New Orleans (photo of the book in the storefront window)


*Also on this day in 2018, Cubsessions authors Randy Richardson and Becky Sarwate Maxwell went down to Orland Park to sell their book.
