The Big Six One

A group of us at work who were due to celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary last year, came to an informal agreement when it became increasingly apparent that no-one would be doing any celebrating whatsoever in 2020. We decided to ignore the usual protocol and steam into 2021 intent on marking the traditionally less celebrated occasions -  22nd or 51st birthdays, 26th wedding anniversaries etc. In that spirit, I've spent the last couple of weeks bigging-up my impending Big Six One, which has duly arrived today. Is it wine o'clock yet?

Here's the great Fred McDowell recorded live in November 1971.

Happy Birthday, TS. I shall raise a glass to you; in fact I may raise several.

Happy 61st Swede. Enjoy in whatever way you can. I shall raise a glass to you from here.

Happy birthday to you. I shall toast you as soon as I'm finished with this sentence. Not literally, of course, that would hurt. Perhaps the drinking has already started.
