Shoutout to the Great Beyond for swing trumpeter Bunny Berigan, born on this date in 1908... for Cadillacs lead singer Earl Carroll, who would have been 76 today... for legendary soprano Jenny 'The Swedish Nightingale' Lind, who died today in 1887... for bluesman Mississippi John Hurt, who passed away in 1966... and for singer Eva Cassidy, who died of melanoma at the age of 33 today in 1996.
Also on November 2: Peter, Paul & Mary hit no. 1 on the US singles chart with their cover of Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind' (1963)...
