[SAT-I need more room!!]

Wow, Stills is 60!! Unbelievable.

Didn't realize Patty is a full 10 years older than Martina!

Couple of mistakes here-Nino Tempo of course SANG Deep Purple, was not in them! LOL!

And John Rich WAS in Lonestar, but they should list the duo he's in now, Big and Rich, since they are kinda big now.

And of course, happy 70th to the King.

What ever happened to the Forester sisters? I used to love them.

LOL - you're right! I didn't catch that about Nino Tempo when I copied and pasted from the birthdays website, but I went ahead and fixed it. I can't picture him singing Smoke on the Water or Highway Star! ;D
