Hey old man - hope you get what you want for your birthday - 65 is one of the big ones!
Hope this day is a goodern for ya - and all the days to come.
Thank you Poppa Willis…
I vaguely remember my 50th Birthday…
I thought that was quite the mile-stone…
It was a surprise get-together…
Most of my musician friends came over (that wasn’t away working)… We had
quite the get-together…
I know, there’s photos around…
My Mother made sure of that…
They are in the mailer that she worked on all her days, for me…
I still can’t find it…
…sigh…
There are a few of us left…
Many are not with us anymore…
Bill…
[EDIT]
I should go over and get a set of strings for my '65 Precison Bass and my Washburn Bantom BX-500 Bass… Then learn how to play them… again…
Hey Bill! Do we share a birthday Sept. 6?
I knew this was a “special” day!
Happy Birthday you ol’ Newfie!

September 06 1943…
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Canada…
My Parents are Lunenburger’s
They lived along the Lahave River…
South (side) Shore Bank…
I don’t remember any of what remained of the Second World War…
However, my Father served as a Munitions Barge Captain supplying munitions to the War Effort…
AND…
Freighter Convoys were formed here in the Harbour before leaving for Great Britain and Europe…
That Mailer has all of the paper clippings of the day in it…
That my Mother saved for me…
She’ll be 92 this coming January…
Bill…

That's awesome Bill. I'm a '63 model...
Yep. There's a lot of history up your way. I'd like to see it someday but the only travel I get to do is with the day job...

Hi Again:
By '63 I was Bar Room Playing… What a great time it was for all of us… We were gonna live forever, nothing was gonna separate us… We could do anything… within reason, of course… we could go for 29 hours a day… The first bunch I worked with smoked tobacco but was not on anything else… but, through the years that changed… hence moving from stage-to-stage… We were all still young… then we got married and all…
Bill…
Happy Birthday Bill,
I’ve seldom heard from anyone with such a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing for the past few years. Thanks also for pointing me towards Sweetwater for the H2. Both the machine and the service from them was awesome.
Take Care,
Ian
HBD Bill and Tim G. 
And a Belated HBD to Poppa W. 
thanx Yaz - good to know someone 'round here loves me…

Thanks D - You are closing in on “Old Fartdom” your own se’f.
Thank you Gents, for your Greetings and Wishes…
That was quite the Day…
The mail started coming in on the 5th…
and…
it’s still coming in…
However, it’s slowing down…
I worked till 3am this morning then I took a break and I’m still replying to it…
Am I conplaining…?
NO…
We used to have Get-Togethers/Kitchen Parties… Now we get-together on the internet and chinwag…
and all…
Some of these guys are not very good with words-and-typing and all…
But we are improving…
The cost of fuel is hurting us all…
Maybe, one day there’ll be a better way to get together…
Is that why I’m delaying getting a Hi-Speed Connection…
?
Bill…
65? I used to think that was ancient, but I’m beginning to re-think that. Happy Birthday, Bill. And a Happy Belated Birthday to you, Tommy.
Your birthday reminds me of an old song -
a very, very old song !!
Happy birthday Bill.
Dang, I’m a day late, but hope you guys had great birthdays!
65 ain’t nothing. Just getting warmed up. I had a progenitor (sorry about that big lie-burl word, D) who lived a full C-note.
