A dear friend reminded me that today is Robin Trower's birthday. ?HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN!!!?  I wish you another 76 years. 

Are you sitting at the bottom of the stairs?  I want to share a song with you that you shared with us many years ago:  Birthday Boy.

Down at the bottom of the stairs sits the birthday boy
Reading letters in between the lines
Ready for a little trip to the seaside
Hoping he can make it there on time
Sitting in the station watching choo choo trains
With wheels to take him clicking down the line
The sky is getting darker, but if it rains
It's nicer when the sun comes out to shine
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, and hurry home for
Tea is waiting on the table for the birthday boy
Grandfather's clock is ticking in the hall
Sitting by the fire, now the birthday boy
Is feeling very sleepy, very small
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea

Although it's Robin's birthday and not mine, I feel as though I'm the one presented with the greatest gift:  United State of Mind, Trower's soon to be released album that features Maxi Priest and Livingston Brown.  I'm absolutely dumb founded that two of my favorite artists joined forces to produce what I have read and heard to be an incredibly rich, soulful sounding production.  Not to be greedy, but... Please grace us with your presence and tour the United States together especially Denver, Colorado.  December would be best as that is the month of my birthday.?
