Double the Birthday
Double the fun.
First up is one of my favorite human subjects. Today is Papa John's 92nd birthday. And I bet if he were still around he would be fiddling the day away. He was one cool dude.
How about a little Hot Tuna to get your day going?
Second up, the incredible and ageless Rick Nelson. Today is Ricky's 69th birthday. I'm guessing he would look exactly like he did when these pictures were taken.

And it wouldn't be much of a party if Rick didn't play this...
Happy Birthday, Papa and Rick!!

Birth and Death
On this day 64 years ago, the world welcomed singer, songwriter, environmentalist, advocate and pilot, John Denver. A happy day indeed.
John Denver
12/31/43 - 10/12/97
This song is usually attributed to Peter, Paul and Mary but it was actually written by Denver.
Sadly, on this same day 22 years ago, the world lost the very talented singer, songwriter and actor, Rick Nelson in a tragic plane crash.

While this song became a huge hit for Rick Nelson, it was written by Gene Pitney, another one of the musicians honored in Everybody I Shot Is Dead.

I Feel Bad
Two weeks ago it was New Year's Eve. December 31, 2006.
December was when I faithfully started paying tribute to my dearly departed musicians on their birthdays and deathdays. In order to remember (don't forget, my brain is made of Swiss cheese), I mark them on my calendar a month in advance. Just like I put EISID as a to do item on every day. Here's what February looks like:
Even with all this, I still missed two tributes. One birthday and one deathday. On December 31st. And the only reason I realized my faux pas was because I was working on the book today so I could check off today's "Write on Everybody." I dipped into my 'To Scan' file and pulled out a set of negs. As I finished scanning all 34 photos, I had this haunting feeling. I looked him up on my list and kicked myself. He died on New Year's Eve. How did I miss putting that on my calendar?
I looked at my calendar. I didn't forget. His name was there, along with another musician - for his birthday. I don't know how I missed it. I'd like to say it was because I was out partying, but that would be a lie. I was here. On my computer. Just like I am now. Working.
Time to rectify my lapse. Two weeks late to the day. Better late than never? I hope so.
Both died in plane crashes. One on the other's birthday.

A moment of silence for Rick and a Happy Birthday to John. Albeit, belated.
I miss you both.
