Happy birthday to Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman en Montevideo

His voice sounds like he has a cold. He sings like he’s singing each line for the first time — the phrasing is striking, you feel like you are standing with him as a particular thought occurs.

Happy birthday to the wonderful Jonathan Richman whose shadow looms large over A Head Full of Wishes, more of that down the page - but first here's a lovely clip of the great man himself - Joanthan Richman and The Modern Lovers - I'm Just Beginning to Live

Have a great day Jojo. I love your chimes... they reel and they rock.

Dean & Britta
