It’s the end of an era for Vancouver Canucks fans.

April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969 and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

IT WAS APRIL 9th … when Bob Hope made his network TV debut, hosting the 90-minute “Star-Spangled Review” on NBC… When the Ed Sullivan Show’s eclectic playbill on CBS-TV included Zippy the Chimp rollerskating and riding a bike, a comedy routine by vaudeville veterans Smith & Dale, ventriloquist Ricky Layne & Velvel, singers Julie Wilson, Oscar Brown Jr. and Jan Peerce… When The Rolling Stones made their first live TV appearance on ITV’s Friday night music showcase “Ready Steady Go!”… and when CBS radio & MSNBC shock jock Don Imus was suspended (and later fired) after he jokingly referred to members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos”. ALL the milestones for the date INSIDE.

Daryl Hall and John Oates, commonly known as Hall & Oates, are an American pop rock duo formed in Philadelphia in 1970

IT WAS APRIL 8th … when the original radio voice of ‘The Lone Ranger,’ Ontario-born Earl Graser, was killed in an auto accident at age 32 … When country singer Jimmy Dean began a morning show on CBS in what would be a futile effort to defeat NBC’s Today Show … When UK singer Petula Clark starred in her own NBC-TV prime time special, with guest Harry Belafonte (pictured) … and when the last original episode of ‘All in the Family’ aired on CBS-TV. ALL the milestones for the date INSIDE.
