On March 13, 1580, Sir Francis Drake [c. 1540-January 27, 1595] visited the Raja Donan of the Indonesian island of Java. He had brought a viol consort on his 'round-the-world journeys. And he had the players perform for the king. In return, on March 21, his ship was visited by the king, who brought along performers of the island's Gamelan music, as played on such instruments as drums and gongs. Drake described the result as strange, but delightful and pleasant music.

Why did they stop making Drake and Josh episodes?
Quoted from Dan Schneider (Creator of Drake and Josh)"Drake & Josh was never canceled. The term "canceled" usually applies to a network ending a TV show due to poor ratings. That never happened with Drake & Josh. In fact, Drake & Josh got its highest ratings during its final season. And the last episode "Really Big Shrimp" was the most-watched episode of the entire series' run.Drake & Josh ended because we all felt it was time to say goodbye. Both Drake Bell and Josh Peck had been with Nickelodeon for nearly 8 years (I first hired them for The Amanda Show). They were ready to move on and try new things. Also, the network already had plenty of episodes of Drake & Josh for reruns, and they were excited about the idea of me creating a new TV series for Miranda Cosgrove (which I did: iCarly).So, Drake & Josh ended because of a mutual decision by the stars, the network, and me. We were all very sad to say goodbye to the show, but we had a lot of fun two years later making "Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh.""

Why did queen Elizabeth send drake on a voyage?
Francis Drake was well known for his skill as a pirate, and Elizabeth I privately hired him on trips under Sir John Hawkins to raid Spanish ships in the New World. Eventually she sponsored his own voyages, which were so successful it brought England out of foreign debt. On his voyages a significant amount of map making was done in the California area, as well as along the coast of South America. Sir Francis Drake was the first Englishman to travel entirely around the world by sea, but no evidence shows that Elizabeth and Drake actually planned that in advance. Some say Drake decided that was a better way to get back, since they had difficulty going around the tip of South America on their trip.
