Happy Birthday!

Singer-songwriter & incidental propagandist

Tom Paine

was born 1/29/1737
(d. June 8, 1809)

          In a chariot of light from the regions of day
          The Goddess of Liberty came;
          Ten thousand celestials directed the way
          And thither conducted the Dame.
          This fair budding branch, from the garden above,
          Where millions with millions agree,
          She bro't in her hand, as a pledge of her love
          The plant she call'd Liberty Tree.
  
                          "The Liberty Tree," Thomas Paine

ALSO:
1/29 in 2006 Chinese New Year (Hsin Nien) 4704, (or Republic year 95) the Dog, as well as Tet, etc.

          I was strolling down Sand Street one fine summer night
          And I spied a fair damsel as she hove in sight.
          I ran up my number, to which she replied,
          "I'm a Chinatown bumboat going out with the tide,
          "I'm a Chinatown bumboat going out with the tide."
  
                  "The Chinatown Bumboat" from Salty Dick's Uncensored Sailor Songs,
                  collected, researched and performed by Richard Docker, Ph.D
