BS: Steve's well-kept secret

From: Steve Parkes

Once again I've managed to sneak past another birthday without anyone spotting it! While I was opening my cards and looking back over fifty (count 'em!) glorious years, I was having a good-natured laugh at my Mudcat buddies who never suspected a thing. I fooled ya! I fooled ya! Hey, that's got tha makings of a pretty good chorus--I must work on it ...

Ah well, maybe see you in 2011,
Steve

Well, young Steve,I don't always respond to the birthday threads and have given up on my own, but I just hope the candles didn't burn the house down, the Black Country is a smokeless zone now!
Hope you had a bostin' time...an' many on 'em
RtS(but don't expect me to remember next year!)

Steve,

Welcome to Fifty! I have been here for about six months, and I am finding that, offsetting the surreal sense of no longer being even close to young, I am excited about having survived so much, for so long-- I am also delighted by the fact that the world has changed a lot, and instead of being full of older people telling me what I should do, it is full of younger people, some who actually ask me what they should do--

On the musical side, when I was younger, people tended to dismiss me as just another kid with a guitar, without having any idea whether I was any good or not, now, I find that everyone takes me seriously, without having any idea whether I am any good or not--

Anyway, nothing really changed when I turned Fifty, which was the big surprised--I hope it's good for you, too!!

Three years running! Is this a record? (Four, actually -- I've been coming here since '99)

I don't mind, it saves me buying drinks; and, besides, I think it's time I gave up birthdays and made romm for the youngsters.

you are just blatantly sucking up to Joe Offer, who does not care for birthday threads , as is well known.
