1782 – The first American commercial bank, the Bank of North America, opens.
1894 – W.K. Dickson receives a patent for motion picture film.
1927 – The first transatlantic telephone call is made – from New York City to London.

Births
1800 – Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the United States (d. 1874)
1948 – Kenny Loggins, American singer

Some pretty decent birthdays here with a U.S. president, some baseball players, a news lady and Nic Cage. But I'll highlight the King of the 80's Soundtrack Kenny Loggins and what better way to honor him than with a man covering one of his songs before a bus crash.
