Yes Happy Birthday to Brian and, if I'm not mistaken, Happy 50th Anniversary of Splish Splash! According to my sources, 50 years ago today, Bobby Darin wrote (in 12 minutes) and recorded the song! What a great day!!

Now, to me that's an impressive anecdote. Brian's birtday falls on this historic day when BD wrote Splish Splash - in 12 minutes - what a genius he was!

Now I need to dispell some errors in brian's songwriting about his birth year.

The song '59 has the line ' well they took Eddie Cochran'. But he DIDN'T die in'59 Brian. The things you'll do to rhyme a tune - lol.

Happy Birthday Brian! How cool that it's the same day that "Splish Splash was written!" On your birthday, I listened to Rockabilly Riot while I was making delicious chicken fajitas. Thanks for bringing so much awesome music into the world! See you on December 19th!

Ha ha! Now THAT'S waht we wanna hear. What were you last doing to Brian's music. I was just playing along with my Gretsch (badly) whilst watching Massey Hall '83 video. Now, what have you guys all been up to? Let's keep it clean...

And let's not forget the late great Carl Perkins. (Bows Head) April 9th

Well if you're gonna pick nits, "that girl of mine" (well, his) wasn't born in that year, either.

He made a point of explaining that Christine wanted to kill him for aging her at the 68CBS show in Saratoga, CA in 2001.

That 68CBS show was pretty funny.

Last I was doing was listening to Rockability, checking airfares, and emailing Gloria to complement her for Brian's birthday graphic.

it´s never too late to congratulate.
best wishes from bavaria.

Happy birthday Brian, 4/10 is my dad's birthday as well. But he was born in 1935. So happy birthday to both of you guys, you are good men.
