2024 – Got A Pair Of 7s Hung On Me Today

………………………………………(ignore April 30, 2017 publish date – this was published on August 17, 2024)
For some reason, this post isn’t letting me put spaces between paragraphs. They show up on the edit page, but not here where it counts. And YouTube picture links aren’t popping right up, so be sure to click all the links. Let me know if something doesn’t work (I don’t trust these bugs).
I’ve now officially lived longer than my parents and anyone else in my family that I can think of (but I’m prepared for a barrage of emails from various cousins who know of a great-great Aunt Sadie, who lived to be 104).
I prefer to think of today as the 55th anniversary of me turning 22 at Woodstock at the exact moment The Who hit the stage (5:00am) – by far my favorite birthday moment (aside from the original one).
I hope I don’t jinx myself by saying this, but I feel fine, still rockin’ out and feel nowhere close to my new number……….and the only thing in my life that I can recall with that number was from this 1958-1964 TV show that I liked:
Believe it or not, a hit single came out of this detective series, featuring one of the shows stars – Edd “Kookie” Byrnes and actress/singer Connie Stevens. Here they are performing on The Dick Clark Show, which ran on Saturday nights from 1958-1960:
And in case you’re a lyrics freak for this 1959 hit: 
SO………….while we’re on the subject of handsome singers (Connie Stevens was “handsome”?), I’m gonna do something I’ve done before on my birthday: imitate a song…………or try to (notice that I said “imitate” – NOT “sing”…………..consider yourself warned):
Try imitating this song! And post the result in Comments! (I’m not holding my breath)
And thank you Laura Kaye – the only professional singer here that I’m aware of – for asking for more the last time I did this two years ago (your check’s in the mail).
