Happy June 19 Birthdays

We start off with a double. Happy bday to to both James I of England, and James VI of Scotland, both born on this date in 1566. In the same bed, I'm told. To the same mother. Whoa, that's really weird!

Happy 1897 birthday to Moses Harry Horwitz, or as some know him, Moe Howard. Yup, the leader of the Stooges. Older brother Shemp and younger brother Jerome joined him at various times, along with otherwise unconnected Larry Fine.

Hum a chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" to commemorate the 1902 birth of Guy Lombardo, if you please.

Or you could play it on the mandolin (or guitar) to celebrate 1914 birthday boy Lester Flatt.

Hot Mess Paula Abdul turns 50 today! Easy on the eyes, but madder than a hatter! Or just a little too fond of her chemical and liquid refreshments. (Allegedly).

Eh, the rest of the list is pretty dull, so we'll end it there.
