The inspiration for this contest came from the birth of Tanta's lovely daughter AVA GABRIELLE on 9/14....

She came into the world @:

1). 5:38pm

2). 20.5 inches

3). 9lbs 3oz.

And ---- what a lovely inspiration she is!!!

And I think I should get extra points for this ..... we use metric measurements here and I get rather confused to go between systems.

"...Nagy has the stuff to get noticed beyond the Midwest. There's psychological depth and narrative momentum to his singing, and his blues guitar playing rings true in a personal way, even when in the spirit of Albert King or Jimmy Johnson. In addition, Nagy's songwriting is studded with winning connections to blues, r&b, soul, gospel, jazz, rock, country. The pan-stylistic title track is richer than a creme de cacao..."

Come on....let's get a few more guesses going!!!!

This has been fun.... Too lazy to look for my Birth Certificate, I called my Dear Old Mom (82) and had her provide me with the correct answers!!! And, she had to dig through a bunch of old stuff (a Baby Book of all things!!) to get me the info!!!
