Feelin' Thankful for the Small Things Today

  On this date in 1944 Roger Daltry, vocalist for the Who was born in London, England. Even though Roger is an old man I still would watch out when he's birthday punching.





  On the same date in the village of Betchworth, Surrey, England,  Mike D'abo ,Manfred Mann singer songwriter was also born.


  At their advanced age (> 57) I'm sure they're feeling thankful for the small things today.

  Other notable musicians and vocalist that share this birthday are
Frederic Chopin 1810
Glenn Miller 1904
Harry Belafonte 1927
Jerry Fischer 1942
Tony Ashton 1946
Burning Spear 1948
Bill Ding 1958
Dafydd Leuan 1969
and unfortunately Justin Beiber 1994.

  On this date in 1967 the Beatles recorded ' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'

日本の友人たちへ

Editor's note : I translated this from American English to Japanese.  When I tried to translate back into English it came out like it was written by Sarah Palin (you know, where you understand each word, just not in the order that they're written or spoken). So just enjoy the music. 
90年代半ばでは私が大工だったら「カーペンターズのトリビュートアルバムに少年ナイフの貢献「世界の上に「聞きました。


私は全体つまずい日本のバンドを介して濾過アメリカンクラシックの別のカバーは、エディ・コクランのサマータイム・ブルース」のギターウルフのバージョンでした。
