Welcome to Birthday Thursdays! Each week I will feature someone from the world of music whose birthday falls on that day. There won’t be any chit chat from me, no facts and figures – just some great tunes (and an occasional surprise). Check it out right here every Thursday and enjoy the music.

I love hearing all the old songs! Since I was a child of the 80’s, I never knew of any of these!

Yes, I imagine it takes a lot of time to find and prepare. I don’t listen to every song, but often your posts lead me to other places/music that I enjoy. 🙂
