#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #February2 #BirthdayCohort with #ChristieBrinkley @SeaBrinkley & @Shakira & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #PlayYourUkuleleDay | @HolidaysCalendr @TaimaineGardner @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains a bit about the #Ukulele in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to teach you about that word. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The word “Ukulele” is built on ancient words that mean |Flying-, Leaping-, Jumping-|Louse or -|Flea (as the #Uke-player's |Fingers fly like lice over the Strings).
I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark 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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Aquarius ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Farrah Fawcett, Shakira, Duane Chapman (a.k.a. Dog the Bounty Hunter), Ayn Rand, Christie Brinkley, Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills & Nash), Brent Spiner (Data on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), Tom Smothers (of THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS), James Joyce
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!
