Born on this day ... - Ruby - 29-05-2015

Mel Gaynor was born on this day in 1959, in London, England. Drummer for the Scottish band Simple Minds since 1982 (with a break from ’92 to ‘97) and associated with some other big acts as a session musician. He’s working on a solo project to be released later this year.

Simple Minds’ best known single from The Breakfast Club soundtrack – “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” (oh - and ‘specially for MH, this is what the all-knowing Google finger found :laugh: – “It is the band's only number-one hit on the U.S. Top Rock Tracks chart, staying atop for three weeks. While only reaching number seven in the UK, it stayed on the charts from 1985 to 1987, one of the longest time spans for any single in the history of the chart.”)

Patrick ‘Pat’ Dalheimer is presently the bassist for The Gracious Few, but prior to that was with Live – is a founding member of the band, in fact, and has appeared on all their albums. He was born on this day in 1971, in York, Pennsylvania, USA.

I might still have Throwing Copper knocking about somewhere – it’s hard to believe that this very popular, post grunge album was released 21 years ago! OMG!!

Ronnie Wood was born on this day in 1947 in Middlesex, England. His is Romany, of the clan ‘water gypsies’ or bargees. Not only is he well known for his involvement in some classic bands – Jeff Beck Group, Faces, The Rolling Stones – he’s also an author and a respected artist. He paints and sketches musicians, amongst other subject matter, and he is nothing short of prolific. I quite like his work – it has a vibrancy and looseness which really seems to capture the essence of his subjects. http://gallery.ronniewood.com/foxy-jimi.html.

All the productivity is somewhat impressive for a person who’s quite openly been plagued by addiction issues, not to mention a hectic touring schedule. However he does it, he miraculously seems to have got a whole lot right! Must be a general positivity, which does seem to beam out of him!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Wood.

Here he is playing the slide on “No Expectations” –
