Happy Birthday To Me.
OK - I wrote this - I think it was in 2003 and recorded it with the Geronimo Cowboys. Mike wrote the lyrics, sang, played bass guitar and did the production work. Earl played one of the guitars - I played everything else. I wrote this to myself for my 50th birthday - and yea - I'll be 60 on Monday. Alright - here it is - I've never posted this here before - Happy Birthday to Me. https://soundcloud.com/macdaddy/happy-birthday-to-me Thanks for taking a listen.

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY MARK ! I turned 60 last year in Nov and after I had my first heart attack a month later . Then the following year after Knee started breaking down on me and stills hurt today but what the heck I'm 60 .
When I go to the doctor they look at me like I'm a Bull frog hoping for a leap of faith but what the hell I'm 60 and I'm still hopping around .
I bought my first cane a month ago and you know what that means at 60 , its just the next step when I get to slide into my first conforable wheel chair and get pushed around by sexy old ladys on a sunday afternoon during my first Bingo game .
But what the hell look at the bright side , at 60 all the sexy old 90 year old ladies will consider me the town playboy so thats the good news about turning 60 .
HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY MARK ! LOL

Ahhh the cowboys. Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis, And each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young, He'll prob'ly just ride away. I like the song, but I wasn't a huge fan of the vocal performance. It wasn't bad? Just not what I dig.

Happy Birthday Mark! Like the beat and the vibe. I like the vocal treatment, although I'd like a little more "air".

Terrific song. To me this definitely has a Lou Reed feel to it -- including the vocals. Of course your guitar tones were stellar. I hear that 60 is now the new 50 --- so, you're not as old as you might think you are. ;>)
Happy birthday Mark!!!

Nice one Mark. Just happened to catch this while trying to play catch up after the big vacation. So, your having to write your own B Day song. That's kind of sad, but at least you know what you'd like to hear for your special day, and I liked it. Has a bit of a different kind of vibe, but speaks volumes of you. Happy Belated Birthday!
Peace and Blessings, John
