#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #March11 #BirthdayCohort with @Alex_Kingston_ (or a celebrity with the same name) & @JohnBarrowman & ... You?) on #LawrenceWelk Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

You can make some money remembering what was special about famous band-leader Lawrence #Welk in a discussion that's linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The surname “Welk (with #Wilkenshoff #Wilkens #Wilkenhoff #Wielkens #Weilkenshoff #Welkenshoff)” is built on ancient words that mean Soft & Mild.

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Pisces ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: (other than Lawrence Welk, there's) Lisa Loeb, Anton Yelchin (Chekov in J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK), Rupert Murdoch, Johnny Knoxville, Terrance Howard, guitarist Benji Madden, singer Joel Madden, Alex Kingston (the female The Master On DOCTOR WHO), John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness on DOCTOR WHO), Douglas Adams (writer of the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'-books), Shemp Howard (the third of THE THREE STOOGES), Joey Buttafuoco (big legal problem ... I forget if he was the victim or the assailant), Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Bobby McFerrin, Pope Innocent I ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)

(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
 about them) in the comments, thanks)

I don't have a Heart of the Nation-calendar for this day yet; but the recent one says that we (Catholics) celebrated with the clergy wearing Violet Vestments for the day
