Larryz Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHARLIE, TRAVIS, JAMIE, MELVIN AND JERRY! 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 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 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.

jimmac Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Larry I had the same thought about why most seem to be old guys like us then I thought it usually takes a while to become a noted or respected player and have the media attention to be listed.

jimmac Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Fang thanks for doing this. I look almost every day and get a surprise frequently that names I know are older or younger than I expected. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryz Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 +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...

whitefang Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'd like that too, so I'll keep an eye out. But still, it marches on.... With GUY PERRY of The Motels turning 67 today; Along with JIMMY VAUGHN, also 67, and glad to see HE stuck around; Singer-songwriter MOLY JENSON ids 39 and; NICK WHEELER of The All American Rejects is 36. As young as they get today. 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...
jimmac Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I see my last comment was not complete. It got lost and I had to redo it. Part of the reason they are older is likely because it takes a few years to get noticed and earn the respect to be talked about. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
