ALTERNATE BIRTHDATES:
05: 1930 - Mitch Jayne [died 2nd August, 2010] - obituaries quote his birthdate as 5th July, 1928 which I presume to be correct, although some sites still have the 1930 date with the day & month reversed
15: 1838 - Leon "Lenny" Welch - Ace Records have date as 13th May

AMENDED BIRTHDATE:
10: 1946 - "Donovan" Leitch (Maryhill, Glasgow) (originally listed as 1945)

MIS-IDENTIFICATION
13: 1943 - Clive Palmer - an original member of the Incredible String Band, and not as previously indicated, the "P" in Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. I guess CG may not have been overly interested in either act. *

SENIOR BIRTHDAYS (2012):
