The Number One Song From the Day You Were Born

[walkin jack]

June 17th 1944: "I'll Get By" Harry James Orchestra.

BTW If you were born in America and were issued a birth certificate in the last 100 year, ever had a drivers license, Social Security Account, been in the military, been arrested, voted, been employed by a company of any size, been on jury duty, been admitted to a hospital, registered a fire arm or automobile or been issued a credit card or have ever had a bank account (and probably a hundred ways I can't think of) "THEY" have always had your birth date and a lot more.

It's a little late in this day and time to be lookin' over your shoulder.

Rumors Are Flying by Frankie Carle and His Orchestra.

I also am 35,933,694 minutes old.
Cold numbers, sounds like light years to the next galaxy.

Where have all the minutes gone?

OK, some of you pups were born under the songs I partied, danced, drank and dated to. So don't show up at my door saying, Dad?

"I've Been Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart"







Really. Had I been born 2 months sooner it would have been "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". One month later and it would have been "Rock Around The Clock". Instead I got "Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White) By Perez Prado and His Orchestra which I have never heard of. I missed out on getting a cool one. I has no words except for "Uh!"
