Guitarist Link Wray (May 2, 1929 - 2005) was one of the first Native American recording artists to produce a major hit…
Rumble was released in 1958 to immediate acclaim by young people (it is one of the only instrumentals to be banned from airplay, due to its supposed ability to incite rebellion and rioting) - later generations will know it from the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction…
Link played a heavy, distorted lead guitar and his raw sound has influenced power guitarists from Pete Townsend to Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan, Neil Young and Bob Dylan.
Wray lived his last decades in Denmark and is buried in Copenhagen…

May 2, 1611 – The King James Bible is published for the first time in London, England, by printer Robert Barker…
The title page to the 1611 first edition of the Authorized Version Bible, engraved by Cornelis Boel, shows the Apostles Peter and Paul seated centrally above the central text, which is flanked by Moses and Aaron. In the four corners sit Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, authors of the four gospels, with their symbolic animals. The rest of the Apostles (with Judas facing away) stand around Peter and Paul. At the very top is the Tetragrammaton “יהוה”.
