Larryz Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYLE LOVETT! You're one luck guy to have been with Julie for awhile, and your country tunes are pretty cool too! Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 And so... If we're also including those that have passed, I'll note that had he lived, IKE TURNER would be 86 today. Beats ART GARFUNKEL by 10 years, who's 76 today. It's also the 70th birthday of PETER NOONE, "Herman" of Herman's Hermits. Plus GRAM PARSONS reaches 71. Also BRYAN ADAMS gets to 58, and RYAN ADAMS(no relation) hits 43. THAT'S a lotta candles! Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

whitefang Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 And they keep on comin'.....let's hope, anyway.... JOHNNY RIVERS is 75 today, and my gal JONI MITCHELL is 74. Happy birthday to a couple of people I've liked from first note I heard from them to now. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Larryz Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONI MITCHELL! A SPECIAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOHNNY RIVERS! I really like a lot of Johnny's music. I like playing his version of Memphis even though it's Chuck's song LOL! Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Gram Parsons died in 1973, so I'm pretty sure he didn't celebrate his 71st birthday. Quote I rock; therefore, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks, good call Sharkman! My apologies to Gram Parson and his friends and family. May he rest in peace... Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Well, remember.... There was some agreement to include acknowledging the birthdays of those who have passed on too. Note too, that I also mentioned Ike Turner's birthday. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Larryz, I knew that Gram Parsons was dead from reading the Keith Richards autobiography Life. I knew that Gram Parsons died from a drug overdose, but what happened to him after he died is one of the most bizarre stories in rock/country/popular music. Quote I rock; therefore, I am.

Larryz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 @ Fang, you could have said he would have been 71 like you did with Ike...as opposed to he reaches 71, I didn't know he was deceased. @ Sharkman, so what happened to him after he died? I'm not familiar with his story... OK, I think I found it...two of his buds stole his coffin and cremated his ashes at the Joshua Tree monument per his wishes...

whitefang Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 EEeeewwww That's weird. But life goes on.... Particularly for BONNIE RAITT, who's 68 today, and Joni Mitchell wannabe RICKIE LEE JONES, who hits 63. Some might recall that Jones, in her debut on SNL, was looking like Joni from the cover of the "Hejira" LP. Beret and all.

Larryz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RICKIE LEE JONES! and a special HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BONNIE RAITT! She's still young at 68 and one of my favorite slide players. She's always great on stage and puts out some great music. Let's give them something to talk about!

whitefang Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've also mentioned in "Forgotten guitarists" that today is the birthdays of... JOHN HAMMOND--75 ROGER STEEN--68 (and was a TUBES co-founder) TERRY REID--also 68 and followed by... ALDO NOVA--just 61. And will mention that many don't and didn't know Nova IS a guitar player. Some just know him from that cheezy Mtv video from the '80's. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
