OK...Happy Birthday to...

One of my favorites too although I must say I rather preferred the first incarnation. The "reload" only produced a couple/few songs I liked. But sure, a good band through the many years. :cool:

JOHN MAYALL, who had several of our "heroes" pass though his Bluesbreakers is 84 today. :)

FELIX CAVALIERE of Rascals fame is 75

and former BOSTON guitarist BARRY GOUDREAU is 66.

 

I wish them ALL the best today. :)

 

But, on a sad note, RONNIE MONTROSE would have reached 70 if all went well. :(

Moving on....

SHUGGIE OTIS is 64 today, and

BILLY IDOL is 62. followed by

JOHN ASHTON(psychedelic Furs) who is 60 this morning.

 

Of them all, I'm 'specially fond of Shuggie, whose music the local "underground" FM station used to play a lot of back in "the day". ;)

And joining the "shuffle" parade is RICHARD PENNIMAN, known and loved as LITTLE RICHARD who's 85 today. Good golly!

 

But, some "youngsters" are following up :D

KIM SIMMONDS of Savoy Brown is 70.

JIM MESSINA is also 70 today,

With BOBBY BARTH of AXE just reaching 65.

and JACK RUSSELL of Great White hitting 57 and JOHNNY RZEZNIK of The Goo Goo Dolls turns a youthful 52.

 

But, had he lived, J.J. CALE would be 79 today. In fact, he would have reached that age just AFTER MIDNIGHT. ;)

All I got for today is TOM WAITS having his 68th birthday.

 

A most unique and versatile individual and performer. And a fairly good actor too. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOM! :)

I look at these almost every day but most are folks I do not know about or have never followed. I wish all a great birthday and glad they are part of the music world. I need to comment more often. I was on vacation about 3 weeks but back to normal now. Jim

It's your thread Fang, but I would keep the RIP threads separate from the BD threads. The RIP's get into a little more detail as is respectful and historical. BD's come around every 365 days so we hit the same artists over and over again. Then we could have a 3rd category for acknowledging the RIP BD's on guys and gals like Elvis, Jimi, SRV, Django, Dela, Lester, etc. (guitarist or not). Just a thought... :cool:
Take care, Larryz

And a good one that I'll consider.

 

But to continue....

DENNIS DUNAWAY, Alice Cooper's long time bassist is 69 today...

and JOAN ARMITRADING is 67.

 

Happy birthday to both. :)
