Never stop the action
People rarely find it difficult to get out of her way, but she has her "social-distancing hat" on just in case...
A horde of famous names - from Nancy Astor to Nellie Melba, Ho Chi Minh to Martyn Ware of Heaven 17, Sam Smith to Victoria Wood, Sandy Wilson to Pol Pot, James Fox, Edward de Bono, Joey Ramone, Pete Townshend, Nancy Kwan, Nora Ephron, Kemal Atatürk, Robert Kilroy-Silk, Malcolm X and Alma Cogan - were all born on this day...
...and it's also the birthday of our "Patron Saint of Snarling"!
Heeeere's Grace!
Work all day, as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep, to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain
Sparks will fly, when the whistle blows
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave To The Rhythm
Axe to wood, in ancient time
Man machine, power line
Fires burn, heart beats strong
Sing out loud, the chain gang song
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Many happy returns, Miss Grace Beverly Jones (born 19th May 1948)

I see Grace has her lobster pots at the ready.I suppose she's distancing in Maine?
ReplyDeleteKnowing the circles in which she used to mix in Studio 54, every precaution against crabs was probably necessary... Jx

DeleteSome fab names on the birthday list.
ReplyDeletereading "Malcolm X and Alma Cogan", made me smile as did "Sandy Wilson to Pol Pot"
I wonder if they ever met
The concept of Pol Pot tap-dancing along to "It's Never Too Late to Fall in Love", or indeed the Malcolm X-Alma Cogan duet on Bell Bottom Blues makes me shudder... Jx
