BS: happy birthday to chanteyranger April 7!

Subject: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANTEYRANGER, April 7!
From: sixtieschick

On April 7, 1953 a star shone in the east and three moderately wise men roamed the highways and biways of Berkeley, California bearing a fiddle, a job offer from the National Park Service, and recipes for 100 ways to cook chicken (the future mainstay of chanteyranger's diet). Meanwhile, his sister Miriam hid the wee babe in ecologically sustainable bullrushes, thus protecting the future chanteyranger from harm so that he would one day rise to fulfil his glorious destiny, filling the air with mariner's songs and Scottish fiddle music.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANTEYRANGER! You are a treasure and a pleasure, and this crazy planet is all the better for your presence. May you be here, making music, for many decades to come.

With love,

sixtieschick and embarrassing older sister, Miriam

Many Happy Returns of the Day, my friend.

I'll be sure we sing all the proper songs when we meet on Saturday.

Cheers,

Happy Birtday, Chanteyranger. Let's drink a glass of wine to celebrate. On second thought, maybe shouldn't.

Thank you, sixtieschick, and to all! Any celebrating will have to wait til the middle of next week, as I'm in the midst of rehearsals and recording (and no day off, PoppaG). But, no complaints. The thread is a very nice birthday celebration in itself, so thanks again.

I take it it's not Martinelli's you're swigging, open mike? :-).

Good Grief! When you casually mentioned your birthday, I thought you were kidding. Oftentimes, behind your serious and innocent demeanor, there lurks a cackling joke-telling demon, arms flailing, spittle flying, feet shuffling fowards and back, forwards and back, forwards and back.

A belated happy birthday to you.

Row On, Whale Boner, Row On.

Radriano, I take great offense at your insulting characterization of me as having a "serious and innocent demeanor." :-).

Thank you, Cllr. Yes, I'll definitely see you in June. Let us bay area 'catters know when you're around and we'll get a singaround going, eh?
