I was EXACTLY 1 month old when the U2 spy pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down by the Russians on May 1, 1960.

My due date was April 1st and my mother won a free year of diaper cleaning service for guessing my birth date.

Actually, my name was Glenn for about 2 weeks before my parents decided to change it to Gary. It had to start with the letter "G" after my recently deceased Aunt Gus (yes, AUNT Gus). Jewish tradition. Jews cannot be named after living relatives and the first initial is all that's required.

1960 was a great year indeed.2.gif

So far I got a dozen golf balls from my daughter and my wife's upstairs cooking me a killer dinner. I'm in the dungeon listening to John Jenkins and Kenny Burrell while the smell of the baked ziti cooking upstairs is making my mouth water.3.gif

They've given up trying to get me audio related gifts. I'm guessing it's because I carry in stacks of LPs at least 3 days a week and occasionally a big item will just "show up."11.gif

Cool! I got a free Blue Note LP today in your honor (no joke, bad shape, and the seller kept the jacket. Volume 1, Miles Davis, BLP 1501). No, I ain't sending it to you2.gif !

Happy Birthday!!
