Rich day indeed for the birthings.
All 5 are certainly etched upon my memories.
Heck of a day thru time it seems, what happened 9 months earlier I wonder . . *G*
Bo Diddly, you can hear it here.
“Got a cobra snake for a necktie . . . ”
Now take a walk with me and who do you love.
QMS, one Gary Duncan and one John Cipollina, turned THAT one upside down.
Bo Diddly. Beat. End of story.
Grand rockin vibes.
Skeeter, what can I say, teenage angst.
Del . . . Runaway to that eco thing he did.
Monkees, Nesmith, son of the woman who invented and patented white out, made a fortune, and gave her kid a head start in building his own music/video studio, and who went on to produce the first music video’s to ever be played. “RIO”, youtube that one up. Before Madonna, before Michael Jackson, there was Michael Nesmith, doing “Rio”. We studied it, in tv n radio broadcast courses. Analyzed it, from production stand points.
Few folks know this about Michael Nesmith. Less you were in tv or the music industry.
Davy Jones . . . Day Dream Believer. End of story.
Huh, hell of a day for birthdays.
THanks hoss, for sharing.
