It is his 109th birthday? My first guitar was Fender, and I am loving guitars ever sing. Happy Birthday, Fender!

For a fleeting time I used to wonder if country singer FREDDIE FENDER was related.  But "Fender" wasn't the singer's real last name.  Whitefang

Today is the 101st anniversary of JOHN LEE HOOKER's birth. A LOT of guys' earliest known bluesman, I joyously enjoyed seeing him included in that all-star cast that showed up in THE BLUES BROTHERS movie.  Whitefang

That question was RHETORICAL anyway, Larry. Nobody could really answer it with any accuracy.  Anyway.... Today marks what would ahve been CHARLES "BUDDY" HOLLY's 82nd birthday, had the weather been better, or the pilot.  Whitefang

Here's a cool one!  Both RILEY B.(B. B.) KING and CHARLIE BYRD were born this day in 1925!  How often does THAT sort of thing happen? Whitefang

Well, often enough for HANK WILLIAMS and BILL BLACK to share Sept. 17!  But a couple of years apart. Whitefang

We used to think(for a very short spell) that maybe Chuck's legend was more that than fact, as it seemed( and you'll notice from that clip) that he wasn't really playing when we saw him on TV and such. But it was WAY before we really knew anything about "lip-syncing" an d pantomiming to pre recorded playback. But when he showed up at The Grande Ballroom in '68, he showed he really COULD play and do those acrobatics at the same time. Of course at that time, he was but a mere 42 years old.  Whitefang

That clip with Springsteen tickles me in that in Chuck's autobiography, Bruce wrote the preface and mentions back when his band was still a bunch of just local New Jersey kids, and Chuck was still known to have promoters come up with a backing band for his performance dates, Bruce's band got the gig. He mentioned they were all scared as hell and asked Chuck, "what songs are we going to play?" and Chuck answered "We doin' Chuck Berry songs." and left it at that. But after it was over, Chuck told them they did OK, and they settled down after about a week.  Whitefang

OK, today marks what WOULD have been JIMI HENDRIX's 76th birthday.  But like some say.... "Don't cry because it's gone, but be happy that it happened!" And notice "JIMI" spelled "JIMY" https://youtu.be/C_sx_nDDEuEWhitefang

I did not get to this yesterday but I am a Hendrix fan. Same for Chuck Berry. I do appreciate reading about the birthdays but I barely keep track of my own birthday. Jim
