Non-musical history for today: 1608 – Québec City was founded by Samuel de Champlain. I have always been fascinated with Québec City and hope to someday go there. Québec (as we Americans call it) is the last walled city in the Americas north of Mexico. The massive Château Frontenac adorns the city's skyline and was one of the first "Railroad Hôtels" built by, or championed by, the various railroad companies in Canada. I would like to stay at all the remaining "Railroad Hôtels" at least once.

Non-musical history for today: 1374 – A sudden outbreak of "St. John's Dance" caused people in the streets of Aachen, Germany, to experience hallucinations and begin to jump and twitch uncontrollably until they collapsed from exhaustion and, in some cases, died. There is no modern-day consensus as to why this happened. There are theories that it was stress relief or mass psychogenic illness, in which physical symptoms with no known physical cause are observed to affect a group of people as a form of social influence. I'm thinking, hmmm, this area was probably rural. They probably burned things. I wonder if there were poppies or shrooms or something around there? I really don't know. Boogie on, Alsatians, boogie on.

Non-musical history for today: 1611 – The mutinous crew of Henry Hudson's fourth voyage set Henry, his son, and seven loyal crew members adrift in an open boat in what is now Hudson Bay; they were never heard from again. The story goes that Hudson and his small group broke out of oars and tried to keep up, but the mutineers dropped sails and left the small boat, literally, in its wake. There aren't any known accounts other than the side of the story from the mutineers, being they're the ones that survived.
