My birthday present to you ...
9/25/2009 at 10:10 PM
As I had mentioned on another thread I used to make a habit of giving other people gifts on my birthday ... not sure why, but it has been something I have done for a long time. I thought I would like to do that here too, but of course it is going to have to be a virtual gift ... I wish it could be a little more, especially for those very special friends I have made here ... but if nothing more, I hope I can give you a smile
.
I was born in 1956 so I did some searching to see what happened in that year ... here are some songs that I am sure you will recognise:
