    Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with this thread, but hope everyone I missed had very Happy Birthdays!

    And wow - Les Paul is 95 years young! I had no idea. Hope he has many more!

    Willie, it wouldn't let me watch the .38 Special one, however, I know Hold On Loosely by heart. I love it! When I get to karaoke, which isn't often anymore, that is my song - I always do it! I know it's a boys song but it's in my range and I can really rock it!

    Hugh Laurie ("House") is celebrating a birthday today. You Brits are SO lucky........

    And Sunday (6/14) Boy George will be 47! I need to send my daughter an email about that and see what she has to say. I spent a lot of time listening to his music when my kids were teens, although my daughter was a Duran Duran devotee.
    I just need a little downtime.........

    And as far as I know, Mr. Paul is still kickin' it on those slabs of mahogany he is so famous for!

    I played Blackjack with Billy Gibons and Dusty Hill at Ameristar in Kansas City a few years ago. Sort of funny. You'd thing "Rock Stars" would be high rollers. These guys were playing at a $5 table and betting minimums....but they did seem to know how to play the game!

    They had just finished performing there and I guess were winding down.

    LOL. No, no bowing. They are "just people". Freakin' talented people, but still, just people and they were out doing their thing and relaxing after work. There were just the three of us at the table not counting the dealer. The dealer had no clue as to who they were and either the rest of the gamblers there that night didn't know who they were are were too star struck to approach the table.

    I was at the table first just playing one-on-one with the dealer when they came up and asked if they could play a few hands. Common Courtesy. We didn't talk much so I said nothing other than I'd been listening to their music for decades. Gibbons said "Thanks man, do you hit a soft 18 when the dealer's showin' that face card?" That was the extent of it. Good folks, but didn't seem to be in the mood for a lot of fans fauning over them. I respected that.

    Too funny! Those two would be very easily recognizable, I would think!

    But maybe unapproachable.(I would be too chicken to approach any celebrity, unless it was in the form of a meet and greet.)
