whitefang Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 OK. So..... MANFRED MANN. Remember him? Anyway...turns 77 today. Was YEARS before I discovered he was singing the word "Deuce" instead of "Douche" in "Blinded By The Light". But that's because I never heard the Springsteen original until many a year later.

jimmac Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Surprised Yoakam is that old. Heard his songs and name quite a bit but have not follow country for many years. Happy birthday to all above. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 DY is cool but as was often the case Pete Anderson (master guitarist & producer) upstages him, before even starting the tune, in this clip. DY does dance well, though ! & dig Will Lee's bass parts ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8-lHMzSmV8 [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8-lHMzSmV8 Quote d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 And let's "give it up" for BILL WYMAN, founder and former bassist for The Rolling Stones who is 81 today! He was the oldest and probably the more musically well rounded member of that band. Have a good 'un, Gramps! Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Larryz Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 DY does dance well, though ! He also did a great job of acting in the movie Sling Blade written, directed and starred in by Billy Bob Thornton. Dwight did such a great job, I really hated the character he played. He's a great country singer! Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the oldest and probably the more musically well rounded member of that band. Have a good 'un, Gramps! Well, yer right abt that (along w/ the less stable Brian Jones). He also produced records for several other acts. What's most interesting in one way is that Bill Perks (real name) was many years older than the others but remains the youngest looking of any of them, even Ron Wood, a decade his junior.

whitefang Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Today, it's LYLE LOVETT who turns 60. Funny, but I always figured he was older. I never knew who he was until a big deal was made over him and Julia Roberts getting married. Then after hearing some of his stuff I figured he was OK as a musician and much more than just another country dude. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
