from Audio Escape Almanac · host Brian W. Smith
It's Baron Bliss Day in Belize. The Baron is the kind of tourist any country would love to have. We'll start there and bring you a few notes from a Verdi opera first performed on this date. And then it's to other anniversary audio... including the film debuts of Bob Hope and James Dean, Edward R. Murrow's McCarthy episode of See It Now, and a Dan Rather first -- and last. And yes, that's more CBS programming than usual for any one Almanac. We'll close with the guitar of Robin Trower, born this day in 1945.
