Hey...
I played lead guitar in a 60s garage band called the Frantiks...and it's my birthday today. So rock and roll birthday.

It was 1949 and deep winter in North Dakota. My Dad was able to get his 40s vintage 6 volt car started and drove my Mom (in labor) 40 miles through below zero temps to the nearest hospital. And here I am! Still toking!
Cheers,
JD

Happy birthday. Mine was a few days ago, but I was born in 1961.

Of course I put these in the wrong thread. Some one should fire me.
