MP3 of the Day

President Harry S. Truman officially opened the White House bowling alley on this day in 1947. The West Wing bowling alley had been intended to open as part of Truman’s 63rd birthday celebration on May 8, but construction was completed ahead of schedule. Truman’s favorite pastime was poker and although he had not bowled since he was a teenager, he hoisted the first ball, knocking down 7 out of 10 pins. One of the pins is now on display at the Smithsonian. Today we have The Mayflower Compact by FOXGLOVE HUNT. Happy Friday!
