Yesterday's Answer:
The three accomplishments that Thomas Jefferson selected to be carved on his tombstone were: authoring the Declaration of Independence, authoring the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Fathering the University of Virginia.
Today's Question:
Who was the first jazz artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for music?
I wouldn't know because as Bruce McCulloch said, "I hate jazz." (Actually, "hate" is a bit strong but I don't care for it.)
