HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Frank Allen (The Searchers), Jane Birkin, Dave Brubeck Quartetâs 1952 TIME OUT album, Patty Duke, Felix the Cat, Spike Jones, Abbe Lane, John Lurie, Jackie McAuley (Them), Natascha McElhone, Nostradamus, Christopher Parkening, Cecil Payne, Lee Remick, Respighiâs âPines of Rome,â Charlie Rich, Joaquin Zamacois Soler, Maria Szymanowska, choreographer June Taylor, Clark Terry, Peter âSpiderâ Tracy, guitar hero Dick Wagner, Viola Wells, Leo Wright, and singer-songwriter/frontman for The Waterboys, Mike Scott. The band got their name from a Lou Reed song, and theyâre obviously inspired by Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Celtic music. I discovered The Waterboys in the early 80s wave of music that gave us The Alarm and U2, as they have similar literary and spiritual themes. Iâve performed Scottâs âWhole of the Moonâ solo acoustic, and hereâs a band demo we did of his song âSpirit.â We took it into a Talking Heads retro-pop style, with me playing a funky Vox teardrop electric 12-string guitar. HB Mike.
