Gomer and the Pres



Most notable birthdays today are Gomer and the Pres

But others are also celebrating their special day's rest

A compatriot of Mel Torme - singer Vic Damone

And a couple of others who have, in the past - shone



Including Reg Presley of The Troggs

(The sixties British rock group mobbed)

And Brad Delp of the US group Boston

Bun E. Carlos, a Cheap Trick musician



Rocky Burnette - a singer-songwriter

Bobby Sheehan of Blues Traveler

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, another blueser

And a country musician/singer - Brown, Junior



And then there are a few actors who also cut cake

Topping the list is Timothy Busfield - 30 Something's rake

And Jennilee Harrison and youngster Wil Horneff

Along with movie producer Samuel Z. Arkoff



And then there's John Linnell of They Might Be Giants

And Marv Albert ... who recently was a media event

And then there's young singer Robyn

And David Rockefeller also gets in ...



All of them share this special day ...

Adding one more year to their stay

And so we acknowledge their work

With a certain pleasure not shirked



- Tristram
