I thought for sure your post was going to be about the guy who was in The Quarrymen.

What a great bunch of talent on that stage. I'd have liked being there. Got to meet Skunk at the RIC 75th bash at the Hollywood Hard Rock. Great guy and very approachable.

For either one, you're five days early. They shared the same birthday: Lennon would've been 72, and The Ox would've been 68.

There's trivia I didn't expect and is kind of eerie in this context.

With the OP meaning the Ox and Tommy (and myself) thinking Lennon, to have them share a birthday is a weird twist. :)

Even more weird trivia.. Skunk is now a defense contractor. Self taught about missles and consults DOD regularly. I also read that he's organzied quite a few jams with Politcians.. Congressmen, Senators etc..
