April 19...
Celebrating the 2nd anniversary of my artificial left hip. The proof of the success is in the fact that I don't think about it much. I feel, if not exactly young, then at least young for my age. Then I came across this, via Bill W., whereby one can look up the song that was #1 on the day she was born. Now I feel old. The McGuire Sisters? And to add insult, I'm finding myself increasingly out of touch with current tunes. The #1 hit on my birthday this year? Low by Flo Rida and T-Pain. I saw that listed on iTunes yesterday. It looked dumb. And it has been #1? O tempora o mores...

To turn the conversation to music of some substance, I must note the passing of Danny Federici of the E Street Band. The accordion. Sandy. The Uptown Theater, Milwaukee, 1975. That is music.
