Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 TIL In 1929 hockey player Eddie Shore, after missing his train, drove 350 miles through a blizzard to a game. The car's chains broke twice, the wipers broke, he removed the top half of the windshield, and crashed into a ditch. He still made it and scored the game's only goal.

I looked up rock singers with Contraito voices and I am surprised at how many female singers I like have this. I think the only two missing from my favorite female voices are Sandy Denny and Judith Dunham. https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=List of contraltos in non-classical music The original search was inspired my the Uncle Sam's pics.
