The First No. 1 Hit To Feature A Sitar-The Genius Melody Of Brian Jones 1966
"Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones was No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart 50 years ago today.
In the mid-60s, bands like the Stones and the Beatles were looking to expand their musical horizons with new instruments.
For this song Brian Jones learned to play the sitar, an instrument with about 20 strings that is heard primarily in Indian classical music. This is the first song featuring a sitar to top the U.S. pop chart.

Romance - Edgar Allan Poe
Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
With drowsy head and folded wing,
Among the green leaves as they shake
Far down within some shadowy lake,
To me a painted paroquet
Hath been- a most familiar bird-
Taught me my alphabet to say-
To lisp my very earliest word
While in the wild wood I did lie,
A child- with a most knowing eye.
Of late, eternal Condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky.
And when an hour with calmer wings
Its down upon my spirit flings-
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away- forbidden things!
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.

6 Flag Day Wedding Celebration Ideas
For the Flag is a celebration of liberty in love for country, love for the freedom to love, the love of preserving marriage, the love for self-protection, the love for standing on principle and the love for faith.
Today, Flag Day here in America, remember.
Just remember the moments of your love bannered by the cost and courage of our founding fathers.
In relation to wedding. it is a perfect match. Here are some ideas to celebrate Flag Day for your wedding. Perhaps today you are already getting married and I say CONGRATULATIONS! For others, here are my suggestions:
Number 1. The wedding and the love for country could easily be as simple as a donation at the ceremony or afterwards to your favorite U.S. historical foundation or museum. Or it can incorporate the colors of red, white and blue in your wedding.
Number 2. The wedding and the love for the freedom to love speaks of independence. This independence can be chronicled with the couples favorite literature or perhaps a patriotic song lyric. Each of you chose one another. Independent minded yet in union with purpose formed.
Number 3. The wedding and the preservation of union is your wedding. Our founding fathers brought in union the love of liberty with their declaration of life, love and pursuit of happiness. Your wedding should celebrate that. You are now one mind, one love, one heart, one faith. Bring together different elements to your wedding that when joined together creates a brand new element. From flowers to table cloths and drapery to foods and drinks. Their, your union is symbolized.
Number 4. The wedding and the love for self-protection gives both of you the covenant to always be there for one another through all of life's struggles and joys. Protecting one another in marriage is related to the protection our flag symbolizes. Express it with your wedding bands, or even a wedding portrait or perhaps a his and her monogram set of self defense items. Anything that reminds you of protection is great
Number 5. The wedding and the love for standing on principle is synonymous with the Pledge of Allegiance to one another or the wedding vow. Make your vow a vow of rock solid principle, for instance, like "our marriage, under God, indivisible, her liberty and the love of each others justice in all." Just a suggestion, but you know what I mean. Make your principle a special one for the two of you.
Number 6. The wedding and the love for faith is the Wedding. Yes, believe it or not, your wedding is a love of faith in each other. It is the public proclamation of your faith in each other, before God, that is remembered on Flag Day and should be remembered as your faith toward one another. Our faith for our Republic is the same as your faith for her, and her faith for you. Its unshakeable. Its lacking nothing. Its forever.
Your wedding will be forever.
As we remember our Flag Day here in America, keep to heart how your wedding will be remembered.

By Arianne Brown, KSL.com Contributor | Posted Jun 9th, 2016 @ 9:11am
WOODLAND HILLS — Toilet paper is one of life’s necessities, but it serves another purpose for one Utah woman. She uses it to make beautiful wedding dresses.Judy Henry, a 68-year-old grandmother from Woodland Hills, is a top 10 finalist out of 1,500 entrants nationwide for the annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest Presented By Cheap Chic Weddings and Charmin Toilet Paper.
Henry said she has been sewing since she was old enough to tether a sewing machine. She has also been using toilet paper, including tearing out pages of old Sears or Penneys catalogs to use as toilet paper in an outhouse in her backyard farm in southern Utah, for many years as well. So, when the link for the contest popped up on her computer last summer, she said she just couldn’t get the idea out of her head.

To Have And To Hold: Businesses Prep For Summer Wedding Season
TWIN FALLS • Vampire romance, country chic or a Hawaiian beach.
While
Pinterest and other social media have driven the rustic and shabby-chic
themes for the area’s top wedding trends, business owners say, couples
are finding ways to make their big day truly their own.
“They’re
choosing things that reflect their own personalities,” said Tacie
Wright, owner and photographer at T Wright Photography.
Bride-to-be Jayleen Ichokowan is
originally from Hawaii and wanted to incorporate her origins into her
rustic theme. She plans an evening wedding at the Risk Barn in Jerome,
with beach and country related décor, much of which is rented.
“That way, you don’t have to deal with it later,” Ichokowan said.
She’ll
be making wine bottle torches herself — an idea she discovered on
Pinterest. Some business owners say Pinterest and wedding-themed
television shows have surpassed the traditional wedding magazine in
popularity for brides seeking ideas.
Catrina
Gurule of Heyburn found her inspiration from another source: the
“Twilight” films based on Stephanie Meyer’s vampire romance book series.
The flowers, cake, décor and the date itself — Aug. 13 — were chosen to
mirror the wedding of main characters Bella and Edward.

By
VINCENT M. MALLOZZI
Cecily
Koppuzha’s parents were introduced to Lionel Sotomayor in October 2008,
when he tried to contact them by cellphone from a Boston hospital.
“Hi,
this is Lionel, I’m a student at M.I.T. and I’m calling to tell you
that Cecily was in an ice skating accident,” Mr. Sotomayor said
nervously before his call was lost to poor reception.

call, made from the emergency room, marked the beginning of a painfully
secret relationship forged by Ms. Koppuzha and Mr. Sotomayor,
