Have No Idea What Was On The Hit Parade

On the momentous occasion of my birth. Have it on a very high authority however,that church bells rang, guns fired and Te Deums were sung to mark the event.

The link and parameters said the song was "Little Things Mean A Lot". Well, how fortuetous and appropriate given I was between 2 & 2.5 months premature and weight was 2 pounds and some ounces and went down from there.

What should I consider?

Percy Faith? (who is/was Percy Faith?)
The Beatles? (I hate them)
Pink Floyd? (I don't like, but I bought an album just because of a flashing red led on it's case that still flashing after almost 20 years.

I've never known anyone to hate The Beatles. And given your b-day is April 11, two #1 Beatles songs through the years on the same day, life is great!!!!!

"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson... good song, but not my favorite of the era... My parents call me Billy, but I am told it has nothing to do with the song...

also... I must be the only 20 something who knows who Percy Faith is... let alone has a couple of his record albums...

Blue Velvet, odd I heard that song a lot growing up. A relative I visited often as a child loved that song and played the 45 a good bit.

4/21/58 -- Twilight Time -- The Platters. Probably explains why I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone!

Will, your first name is William, in the South you know how we tend to nickname people...Billy is short for William. That why people in the South named William Robert are sometimes called "Billy-Bob"

My name is Greg (Gregory actually). I was nicknamed "Boo" by my grandparents. That's because Robert E. Lee nicknamed his first son "Boo" and it became somewhat of a tradition in the south that faded out by the mid 20th century. Had you been born decades before you may have been called "Billy-Boo".
