Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday (Tab)
Happy Birthday (midi)

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear me, Happy Birthday to me.

I turned thirty today which makes me officially over the hill. If we were in a Logan’s Run-style future my palm-light would be blinking and I’d be running for my life – pausing only to make out with Jenny Agutter. But until the planet comes to its senses and instigates such a policy, I’m free to amble around telling youngsters how everything was better in the auld-times.

I know you’re all planning a huge surprise party for me later, so I won’t go on. I just wanted to post my tab of Happy Birthday so you can all play it to me at the party.

It also happens to be the birthday of Martin ukuleles tomorrow.

According to here, the traits of Sagittarius are:

* Fun
* Optimist
* Good-natured
* Sociable
* Spiritual
* Impatient
* Fears responsibility
* Self-indulgence
* Fanaticism
* Peter Pan syndrome
* Tendency to gamble

A terrible description of me, perhaps a better description of Martin ukes.

    30 is a dangerous age-young enough to still make the same mistakes-old enough to know better-wait till you hit 50-bits fall off!!

    Well, that’s something to look forward to.

    happy birthday!

    just remember: 30 is the new ‘21′ :)

    Whippersnapper. Callow youth etc…
    Remember to celebrate when you reach 33 & 4 months, at which point you’ll be 33 1/3, a long-player.
    Happy birthday and thanks for the great tabs etc.

  14. Woodshed on December 10th, 2007 7:14 pm

    Thanks, guys.

    I think understanding the 33 1/3 reference means I’m definitely old.

  15. LonnaB on December 10th, 2007 11:33 pm

    30 is definitely the new 21, I’ll second that.

    Happy Birthday, man.

  16. Woodshed on December 10th, 2007 11:38 pm

    Thanks, Lonna.

    Happy birthday! I’m following close behind you, in about 6 months I’ll be 30 too. I’d buy you a uke but I’m not rich.

  18. Woodshed on December 11th, 2007 7:48 am

    Thanks, amber. Turning 30 is obviously in at the moment. All the cool kids are doing it.
