10 year anniversary of Wrong Hands by John Atkinson
Today is the birthday, in 1940, of Johnny Nash. A highly successful singer and song-writer, Nash also appeared in a number of movies. He is probably the first American to become a successful reggae artist in Jamaica. His 1972 hit, I Can See Clearly Now, shows a definite reggae influence.

Two friends, an Italian boy, and a Jewish boy come of age at the same time. The Italian boy’s father presents him with a brand-new pistol. On the other side of town, at his Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish boy receives a beautiful gold watch.
The next day in school, the two boys are showing each other what they got. It turns out that each boy likes the other’s present better, and so they trade.
That night, when the Italian boy is at home, his father sees him looking at the watch.“Where did you getta thatta watch?” asks the man.The boy explains that he and Sammy had traded.
The father blows his top.“Whatta you? Stupidda boy? Whatsa matta you? Somma day, you maybe gonna getta married. Then maybe somma day you gonna comma home and finda you wife inna bed with another man. Whatta you gonna do then? Looka atta you watch and ask, ‘How longa you gonna be?’”
Another ‘one hit wonder’ today. This garage band from Bay City and Saginaw, Michigan based their name on an image from the 1957 Japanese science fiction movie ‘The Mysterians’. The band members were children of migrant farmers who settled in Michigan and the lead singer was Rudy Martinez. This song became a number one hit in 1966
