And it's my birthday today, too...

Just another day really, but I am a year older… 🙁

As to my age, exploring beyond the beard reveals that a three and a six(ty) are involved, if not necessarily in that order.

Try and have a great year Col – and I also wish that on the rest of us! Best Rob

Thank you for keeping us informed and entertained. Keep it up, and many happy returns. Hope the weather is better your way than the vile grim rainy day here in N. Kent

Many Happy Returns, Colin – please continue with your work, which is more valuable than you probably realise. You don’t look a day over 62!

Sixty-three? A mere stripling. Happy birthday, Colin. And a Happy Birthday, whenever that falls, to your estimable column, which, in the best Reithian manner, manages to inform, educate and entertain all at the same time, and is presented, moreoever, with more smiles than that doughty 1922 trailblazer could probably muster!

  Thank-you Phyllis, very kind of you, especially as we have never met, save by electronic means! Colin

Very best birthday wishes, Colin. Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations, Colin. I assume you mean that you’ve now reached 36 years – surely not 63 ? Do carry on your great example of educating and entertaining regarding so many examples of great music, composers, performers and the like. Yours is a unique contribution, without which your many followers and readers would be sadly deprived. Have an enjoyable birthday and a fulfilling, healthy future!

Many thanks to all of the above for their kind words, and also to those who sent me Birthday Greetings via email, text and e-card … and landline. Colin

BELATED GREETINGS, COLIN.

My apologies, I went Webless yesterday, to complement my established state of Witlessness. Happily, on most fronts, your freshly started year year looks promising. Sail on!

Best wishes Ian Michell
