A little bird tells me Michael (singer, multi-instrumentalist, writer & critic) is 80 years young today.
Happy Birthday & many more of them.

I wished Michael a Happy Birthday on another thread, and the ol' fart isn't getting two for the same year.

Well, ok then, but JUST two. Happy Birthday, Michael.

Are you aware that "Michael" comes from the Hebrew and means "Who is like God?" If you aren't so aware, it's true.

Your friend,
Michael

Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns to you Michael! (You should have been born on MY Birthday, which is actually St Michael's Day!) Have very much enjoyed our exchanges on literature and many other topics. Enjoy your evening!

So,Michael, it has taken you Eighty years to accumulate the perspicacities and insights that you so graciously share with us!

Let me offer my congratulations, not so much for the years themselves, but for the caring,literate,and frequently witty manner in which you have transcended their challenges.

I must've hit a wrong button, earlier. I KNOW I posted a version of this earlier:

I just heard a man of 101, play a violin concerto on NPR. He is the father of Nina Tottenberg, one of their correspondents. So, here's my wish for you and us: may you be here long enough to beat that in whatever way best suits you!

I hope you have had a wonderful day and may you receive all that you need and desire through the year to come.

Oh, and I second what Stim had to say!

I really want to post here Michael but I can't. Joe Offer hates birthday threads because they're all the same.....a bunch of birthday wishes. So I have to say something outlandish to make them different such as KISS MY ASS M-BOY!!! While that makes it different it is also insulting as is GO MOLEST A COLLIE MIKEY!!!

I wouldn't say anything like that about or to you and I guess in reality you couldn't give a good shit about any of this. Of course at your age you might really want and need to give a good shit, especially since word on the street says you haven't done so since 1989. So I am going out on limb here and saying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!!!!

If Joe doesn't like it, HE can go and molest the Collie.

You do still have that Collie don't you?

Ship it to Joe............

My thanks are belated too ~~ I spent the weekend away at my sister's in Devon who is 87!

But thanks to all of your wonderfully kind wishes. I am quite overwhelmed.

And to all the other Michaels, who have added special namesake wishes ~~ who is like God, indeed?

MtheGM, in case you missed it Mudcat's FB page, imagine Charley Brown and Snoopy hugging each other. The caption is,
