HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHARLIE, TRAVIS, JAMIE, MELVIN AND JERRY! :thu:

 

If you go back over this thread Fang, I'll bet you find most (at least most of the last few) artists are in their 50's 60's and 70's. Where have all the young ones gone? :idk

Take care, Larryz

I use a site called "On This Day.com", click on the "music" tab and these are what they offer. And not all get listed as some are found to have died without an acknowledgement of their death in the listing. Often there is, but sometimes not. But if the musician is generally well known, the name will probably be listed on the person's birthday, But too obscure probably won't get mention.

+1 Jimmac, I check in every day too just to keep an eye on who's getting older that me LOL! Fang does a great job of keeping us informed...I was just getting worried that there were very few younger guys/gals on the list and hoping to see more coming up... :cool:
Take care, Larryz
