Today, April 10th, is the celebration of my birthday, so I thought I would do something way out of my comfort zone. I found this beautifully sequenced song played by Anne Wallace. I just deleted some of the lead lines and replaced them with some slightly changed lyrics. Hence here is my Bday song. I’ll let you guess how old I am today.

PS – now you know why most all of my songs are instrumentals.

Now that I'm 64? That's only the beginning. It's all downhill from there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIO.

Duh . . . 64???

Hey Mario - Happy Birthday to you -
Do you think the Sabres will finally give you a win this year over the Senators in the game tonight?
Now that I've chided you about it . . . it's in the bag my friend.

Seems to me that you are one who occasionally steps out of his comfort zone - should do it more often - I like this.

Cheers to ya - Ian

Go Sens Go.

Thanx all for the very kind words.

Don – I started downhill about 10 years ago

Ian – I’m watching the game now. I hope your Sens don’t meet the Sabres during the playoffs! If they do my heart will be with Buffalo but my money will be on Ottawa! PS – what’s a comfort zone

Danny – don’t hold your breath

Happy birthday yesterday Mario - sorry I am late.

Like the changes in the lyrics - well done Mario. I did laugh quite a lot. Another 10 years and and you can change the words again.

I enjoyed your performance
Jim

Thanx Jim

I hope I make it another 10 years. Of course the song then would be one from "10 Years After"

Well, you're a whiz at the instrumentals . . . very comfortable with them
but here we seldom hear you sing, brother.
Now you've raised our expectations -

Vanek!!!! - 4 goals - one man wrecking crew - sheesh.

Aren't you lucky . . . we get Pittsburgh.

Thanx all!

Ian, I’m rooting for your Sens in this round. Go get them. If both of us get our wishes we could meet in the Conference finals!

Superbron - plotzie, I just had to change those “old” lyrics
