Rock & Roll Birthdays

1948 Doug Gray, American musician (The Marshall Tucker Band), born in Spartanburg, South Carolina

Back in the day I saw these guys every summer in Dothan Al.

 
1950 Bernie Taupin, British singer and lyricist (writes with Elton John), born in Sleaford, Lincolnshire

Elton wouldn't have the Sir without Bernie.

 
1947 Albert Bouchard

drums and vocals




Albert and brother Joe on co-lead vocals



 
1943 Jessi Colter [Miriam Johnson], American country singer (I'm Not Lisa), born in Phoenix, Arizona

Back in the late 70's my uncle faked his death and lived 12 years on the lamb using the name Jessi Colter. He claimed he was hit on the head in a robbery, lost his memory and saw the name Jessi Colter on a tombstone. But he had always been a Waylon fan.

 
@Amos Otis, sorry I've been AWOL so much of late. We had the first real luncheon at the riverhouse today, and I've been burning the candle on both ends getting it whipped into shape.

No need to apologize for living life....or for not meeting your post quotas. 8-)

Yesterday was Albert;s birthday ! I just grabbed my guitar and played with the man - and so should you.
 
Here I am higher than a senator’s socks. Cruising the randomness of the boards and was all like hey ’I like rock’n’roll’ and who do I find here? Amos friggin Otis and he’s also got good taste in music.
It’s also Stevie’s birthday today
