The only U.S.-born driver to win the Formula One international championship, Phil Hill, quiet and introspective, was born on this day in 1927. Gavin and Wyatt seem to believe that Formula One is a herding, rather than a driving event. John does not drive a cool Ferrari coupe on the street though he will play hot carburetor boogie music on the radio and you are invited to celebrate Phil Hill’s birthday on Crosscurrents, 4/20 at 8 a.m.

Drafting the Declaration of Independence, election as US President, and founding the University of Virginia are all part of resume of Thomas Jefferson born on this date in 1743. Gavin and Wyatt take a walk with Mr. Jefferson on the grounds of his estate. You do not need an estate, just tune in a radio, for the Thomas Jefferson birthday on Crosscurrents, 4/13 at 8 a.m.

The opening ceremony for the first Olympiad of the modern era was held April 6th 1896 in Greece.
