Happy Birthday to the irrepressible Cesar Zuiderwijk who turns 67 today – born in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1948.

He's been the drummer with Golden Earring since 1970, joining the three other founding members. They’re still together and still friends! Legends in their native Holland - not so much elsewhere which is a mystery since they made some good music.

It looks like all of them really love to perform – not least Cesar who used to catapult himself over his kit at the end of a solo. Can’t seem to find any videos of that, more’s the pity! This example of some of his drumnastics will have to do! … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wNixe5ldNw

And of course, a clip of their best known single, complete with audience shipped in from Stepford (well that’s the only explanation I can think of). LOL! Freaky …

Brian Harold May CBE was born on this day in 1947. Rockstar and rocket scientist – a claim not many can make! He’s also a champion of animal welfare and reputedly an allround nice, humble guy – a superhero!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May

A track from Queen’s Day at the Races – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-P0VznfK_E

And one from his cathartic first solo album Back to the Light - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy6dq-4jDgA

And this, where he talks about how his Red Special guitar was ‘born’ –

Carlos Santana is 68 today. Happy Birthday to him! From that very first appearance at Woodstock, he made a considerable impact and has since reinvented himself a couple of times, experiencing a resurgence in popularity in the latter half of his career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Santana

I’ve been lucky enough to see him in concert – he and his band were great. A brilliant congas guy, two crazy drummers, stalwart brass section, an incredible keys man. Quite a show it was, and Carlos is the king of cool – super chilled (similar to the setup in the clip below). The most amusing thing was that during the course of the evening, they kept popping in little phrases of very recongnizable yet out of copyright tunes like ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’, and ‘Chim Chimney’ from Mary Poppins. Hilarious! I got the impression that they were trying to see how many of those they could slip past the audience.

The best shot I could get of him –

And one of his signature melodies – ‘Europa’ …

The first time I heard Santana's first record was at my uncle's wedding (2nd marriage--the 1st one [my mother's sister] died). With those rhythms and some excellent hash, I went freaking ballistic--headed for Philly from N. Jersey, I wound up in NYC instead. What a weekend! Thanks for the reminder, Ruby. I prefer his earlier rawer, more elemental material.
