A Very Happy Unbirthday

Who shares your birthday?

I share mine with:

Kevin Bacon
Marty Feldman
Angelica Huston
Steve Lawrence
John D Rockefeller
Nelson Rockefeller
and Jerry Vale.

Neat part is, I know all but one of those people, too (who the hell is Jerry Vale?).

Thanks to Motherdear for giving Callie the idea...and Callie for mentioning it.

C'mon people, easy blog post for everyone!

Oooh! I love Kevin Bacon and Angelica Huston! Two fantastic actors.

I don't know who Jerry Vale is, either. However, after a trip to Wikipedia, I know that he's some old guy who sings.

:-P

Me again! Just watched the video of your kids. That was AWESOME! They're absolutely gorgeous (as are you and Mossy).

(((HUGS)))

Wow - I just tried to look up who I share a birthday with, and I only know of two of the folks listed:

John Ritter and Anne Bancroft.

Not bad, but both deceased...RIP.

Nov 1 is World Vegan Day.

And, in 1512 the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was open to the public for the first time on November 1st.

Jerry Vale was VERY big in the 50s and early 60s (when most of you guys weren't even a glint in your parents' eyes!) He was a 'crooner', much like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como. All four were Italian singers with beautiful voices. He was very handsome, too - looked a lot like Jerry Ohrbach (Law and Order, Dr. Houseman in Dirty Dancing), with distinguished silver streaks in his hair. We had a few of his albums (yes, Motherdear grew up in the Vinyl Age)and used to play them on the stereo and sing along. He had a very strong baritone voice, more operatic-sounding than Frank, less mellow than Perry, very much on a par with Tony Bennett. (Who STILL has it at almost 90!) So that, kids, is your hands-on history lesson in music from Motherdear. He was pretty good...but I guess you had to be there! (I think his real last name was Valentino.)
