More of these birthdays today,

Though born a few years apart, who would have known two of the Monkees were indeed born on this day in history? Michael Nesmith and Davey Jones!

So, the story is pretty well known, you know, Nesmith's mother invented "White Out" or "Liquid Paper", that office liquid to correct typing errors.

Del Shannon:


Elias McDaniel aka Bo Didley,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Diddley

So, there are bound to be some more "golden oldies" and "oldies but goodies" on a day like today it seems, we will see what more might turn up.

http://www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/index.php
A few more birthdays at the "hillbilly-music.com" website; Skeeter Davis is mentioned and a number of other artists I am not familiar with, some of these, there is little info on the web about...

Per the song, Skeeter is well-known for, "End of the World", it has also been covered quite a few times, I had a Herman's Hermits greatest hits CD; and they performed it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_World_(Skeeter_Davis_song)

Written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee...

One can read how many folks covered it, the Carpenters and so on.



Also, nice versions by Skeeter are at youtube, I believe she performed it on heehaw.

And another birthday to post, Paul Stockey of Peter, Paul and Mary:

And even a few more that can not be missed today,

Patti Smith, "Because the night" and others:


Jeff Lynne, ELO:


A lot of folks cover "Rock and Roll Is King", it's becoming recognized as a classic. I watched this one before, a Polish group performs it.


And of course, there is much more to Jeff Lynne, ELO, the Traveling Wilburys, the Move, etc.

Also, born on this day, Robert Quine of the Voidoids:


Maybe more to be listed later.

Andy Summers of the Police:


Henry John Deutschendorf, an air force brat, born in Roswell, New Mexico
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Denver You may know him as John Denver, quite a talent, he did then, move around quite a bit, growing up.


He also wrote "Leaving on a jet plane" among many other songs, Peter, Paul and Mary successfully performed that song.

Okay, Peter Quaife is listed again, some Kinks' songs were posted a few days ago.
