On March 1, 1993, furry artist Simonov was born. There's not much of a TDiH for today as I've been a bit busy today spending today hitting a few antique and junk stores at Muskogee and Tahlequah with my parents. My apologies for the lack of content today and we will return to our normal posts with next week's installment of This Day in History. In the meantime, here are a few notable March 1 birthdays:

Frédéric Chopin, composer and virtuoso pianist (1810)
Glenn Miller, trombonist and bandleader (1904)
