BIRTHDAY: Marianna from Greece is 64 today As I’ve said before, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Well today’s song comes from the 1980s. […]

BIRTHDAY: Jacques Houdek from Croatia is 38 today Singer, writer. It’s a well-trodden path. If you’re a singer worth your salt, you may have dabbled in songwriting too. It implies that you can sing, and understand how music properly works. No, I’m not rambling. I’m leading up to […]
