(Yes, that's really my wife.)
Hooray! Another year of birthday songs successfully deployed! I honestly was sure this year I was going to run out. I am officially calling on every great musician to write some sort of birthday song. One each. Comedians, also! Come up with some funny birthday routines! I know there's not the money in such things as there is in Christmas music, but boy, if you could write the next "Happy Birthday To You," you'd clean up! & I could play it on my show.
I had just enough songs for this year, but I kind of thought I would. As I wrote last year in this space, "Check back with me in 2016. I should be pretty desperate then." We'll see.
I'm happy to report my wife had a lovely birthday. The show seemed incidental to her overall birthday happiness. That shouldn't have been a surprise to me - I did it for her! Oh well.
Please have a listen on your birthday at the Self Help Radio website. Password is on the page, please pay attention. Songs I played are below. Best enjoyed after lighting candles on a cake, then blowing them out.
Happy birthday!
