Actually, there's no 100% guarantee that that's correct: I originally got that date out of the All Music Guide so - we're trusting them. As for where the radio station got their date, well - either their math was WAY wrong or who knows what. At least they got the day right... Plus, I'm sure you old folk get pretty ticked when people add three years to your already long list of celebrated birthdays. ;) Toodles!

By the time 40 got here, it was just another b-day. A friend in San Antonio was almost manic when she hit the "Big 4-0". I guess it was just a difference in upbringing. My wife and I were taught to respect age, not fear it. Anyway, getting older sure beats the alternative. - ---- Don Leuty dleuty@onramp.net dleuty@aol.com 96º8'W 34º11'N ------------------------------ From: Phil Hall Date: Thu, 3 Oct 1996 00:23:11 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: basia-digest V1 #244 On Wed, 2 Oct 1996, J.S.
