Well, it's a big day for birthdays.....

Some seriously notable people were born on October 28th.  Two
of them, Jonas Salk and Bill Gates, changed our world.  But......
today let's celebrate Charlie Daniels's 75th.  It's just more fun.



I should probably tell you that about eight years ago Charlie Daniels played an outdoor concert here in Newark.  A fortuitous set of circumstances led to my two young children (and their dad) being allowed to meet and sit a bit with Charlie on his traveling bus.  He was friendly and kind to them.  Autographed pictures of Charlie adorned the walls of our humble abode for a few years after that.  So we are all pleased to say....... "Happy Birthday Charlie!"

(Ed. note:  This all felt vaguely familiar. Good reason.  A quick search showed that a very similar post appeared a year ago for his 74th birthday.  Oh well.  Not changing it.)
