Judith, I've collected many more January birthdays if you wish to add them (once an 11 year-old trainspotter, always an 11 year-old trainspotter...). Some more distinguished than others (I'll leave others to judge)

01: 1944 - James Voight pka "Chip Taylor" (Yonkers, New York)
02: 1961 - Todd Haynes (Encino, California) film director
05: 1950 - Chris Stein (Brooklyn) Blondie
06: 1947 - Shirley Brown (West Memphis) 'Woman to Woman'
06: 1935 - Antonino LoTempio pka "Nino Tempo" (Niagra Falls) ... and April Stevens
06: 1951 - Kim Wilson (Detroit) The Fabulous Thunderbirds
07: 1944 - Peter Michael McCartney pka "Mike McGear" (Liverpool) The Scaffold
09: 1947 - Nicolas "Nic" Jones (Orpington, Kent) "Penguin Eggs"
10: 1935 - Edward Harrington pka "Eddy Clearwater" (Macon, Mississippi) "The Chief"
10: 1939 - Philip Blondheim pka "Scott McKenzie" (Jacksonville, Florida) 'San Francisco'
11: 1940 - Maurice McAlister (Mississippi) The Radiants; Maurice & Mac
13: 1938 - Christopher "Daevid" Allen (Melbourne) The Soft Machine; Gong
14: 1936 - Clarence Carter (Montgomery, Alabama)
16: 1939 - Ramon "Ray" Phillips (Tiger Bay, Cardiff) The Nashville Teens
16: 1950 - Kenji "Damo" Suzuki (Japan) Can
16: 1941 - Michael "Mike" Waterson (Hull) The Watersons
17: 1945 - William Hart (Washington D.C.) The Delfonics
17: 1959 - Susanna Hoffs (Los Angeles) The Bangles (1 of 2)
18: 1944 - "Legs" Larry Smith (Oxford) The Bonzo Dog Band
18: 1933 - Vernon Garrett (Omaha, Nebraska) 'Turn Back The Hands of Time'
19: 1944 - Michele "Shelley" Fabares (Santa Monica, CA) 'Johnny Angel'
20: 1946 - David Lynch (Missoula, Montana)
22: 1961 - Daniel Johnston (Saramento, CA)
23: 1951 - Darrow Fletcher (Inkester, Michigan) 'The Pain Gets a Little Deeper'

I do have a few for the end of the month, but I'll hold on to those at present as we appear to have mislaid the end of the january master list following the "monstrous hacking".

One posthumous nomination -

05: 1922 - Robert Kuhn pka "Bob Keane" (Manhattan Beach, CA) Del-Fi Records [died 28 November, 2009]

and two departures for noting -

21: 1936 - Ford "Snooks" Eaglin [died 18 February, 2009]
23: 1950 - Danny Federici [died 17 April, 2008]

Yes, I should Get a Life...

Hi John. Aha! you noticed that I started this list and can get in and edit it too. I've been wondering what I do/did as a child that might be the equivalent of trainspotting because I enjoy (or am driven) these birthday/internet/fact finding searches probably as much as you do which also means I'm impressed by how many names you continue to find as the lists get longer and more difficult to wade through and many of the names you find are not noted in Wikipedia. I'm on my way out the door, so I'll add these names this afternoon. A Thanks to you - and everyone else who posts here and on the birthday YouTube videos - for helping to keep this section up and going.

Judith, could you also add these names from last year, please.

4: 1945 - Jay Dee Maness (Loma Linda, California)
7: 1930 - Jack Greene (Maryville, Tennessee)
7: 1943 - Leona Belle Helton pka Leona Williams (Vienna, Missouri)
9: 1943 - Roy Head (Three Rivers, Texas)
10: 1935 - Ronnie Hawkins (Huntsville, Arkansas)
14: 1937 - Billie Jo Spears (Beaumont, Texas)
18: 1938 - Hargus Melvin "Pig" Robbins (Spring City, Tennessee)

And there are a few additions to the December list too. Sorry to leave you with all this tidying up to do! (But now I see Ronnie H. has already made it.)

I think that strange American custom of placing the month before the day has confused matters. I had Roy added to the September list last year under the first of the month. (reference - wikipedia & "Tattoed on their Tongues" by Colin Escott).

Mike, good to see you back, and thank you for the names. I've added them to the main list.

I checked the weather in Seoul, and it is way below freezing right now, around 17F. I've read that S.Korea is cold in the winters, with snow, but is that unusual?

It drives me nuts, working back and forth between the two systems, constantly translating - then forgetting or not knowing which system I am in and thus translating from. The system used in the UK and elsewhere is the most comfortable for me, so I just stick to it and work from there. It's functional in the U.S. if you write your months out in letters rather than numerals, eg: 11 January 2010. I've noticed more and more companies (even small local shops) are adopting this system (11 January 2010) on their receipts and dropping the customarily abbreviated numerical version, possibly due to more international communication/transactions - what with the internet. Also, in the written out version, it is so much easier to take the date in at a glance when the numbers are separated by the name of the month rather than a comma.

(For those who don't know: the U.S. 'written out' version, January 11, 2010, is most often seen abbreviated : 1/11/10).

At this distance in time, I don't recall where I got the wrong date for Roy Head, but since I find most of my information on US websites, I guess one of those might have confused the date. By the way, Korea follows the US Y/M/D order. Korea is cold and snowy in winter (it narrowly missed out to Vancouver on getting this year's Winter Olympics), but I gather this year has been the coldest and snowiest on record in Seoul. However, right now I'm in London, where it has been just slightly less cold and snowy. I'm soon off to Italy for a week, coming back here in time to see Mariza before heading back to Korea.
