[SAT-I need more room!!]

Weird that Rod and Aynsley share a birthday as both played with Jeff Beck Group. Although Mike and Davey of the Monkees shared a birthday.

I knew about many of the artists that shared my birthday, but I don't know that I realized The Big Man did!

And Dave Grohl's only 3 years older than me!
