Weekend Music Twofer

 

May 12 is a big date for The Rolling Stones.  On this day in 1965, they recorded their first number one single, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."  On this day in 1968, guitarist Brian Jones made his last live appearance with the band at the New Musical Express Poll Winners Concert;  he died on July 3, 1968. On this day in 1971, Mick Jagger married Bianca Macias (they were married until 1978).  And on this day in 1972, The Rolling Stones released one of their greatest albums, "Exile on Main Street."  We're reprising two songs from that double album, "Tumbling Dice" and "Happy."  Hope you enjoy.
