Happy Birthday Chanteyranger

The ol' Chanteyranger turns......39 more or less this weekend. He's a fine fellow, fiddler, and folksinger. What he lacks in hair me makes up for in heart. He develops talent, encourages people to make music for the fun of it, and is always there to lend an ear or a hand.

Which explains why he has only one ear and one hand.

I'm proud to call him my pal. Please join me in wishing him Many Happy Returns of the Day.

Happy birthday, Chanteyranger!

Here's my hope that you have a wonderful day, full of lots of groat cakes and 30 weight. (...and don't forget your entrenching tool!)

Wow. First the daffodils, then Opening Day (it's early yet, so I can give my Giants 'huzzah' somewhat unashamedly!), and now Chantey's birthday? Spring has truly sprung. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I step to the pole and grasp it firmly, the fringe carefully in place across my "instrument" and then with a glee born of good feelings and cabbage, and with a slight bend to my knees and slight lift and arching of the back.............

CR, my friend, I salute you!!!!! Happy Birthday!

PM sent.

Didn't want anyone else of catch wind of a "secret insider" ranger clan in the mudcat.

Oh. That was Spaw's wind.

Dave and everyone, THANK YOU for the good wishes! Was off the Mudcat for a few days, so I just found this thread. Dave Swan and I both lost track of which annual 39th birthday this is, but I can safely say that I'm still in my forties...barely. I really appreciate what's been said here. Spaw - looks like you've thrown the gauntlet down to Chantey Boomer, and the challenge will be taken up in a PM, right after I finish going through the three-bean salad bar for thirds. :-). Great to hear from Shellbacks I met in Yorkshire at Cookfest and Morticia, yes - next trip to England (whenever that can be). Carol - thanks for the memories of More Science High. Remember our founder, Ukipa Heep, who pressed the first stone. Everyone - thanks for your good words.

A Mudcat Ranger clique in the making! Woo-hoo!

Quite a community we have here.
