1. Some one famous born the same day as you. Stewart Copeland, The Police's drummer
2. A historical event that happened on the day of your birth. President Harry S. Truman signed the Federal Coal Mine Safety Act.
3. A song that was number one on your birthday. of course i don't remember it but it was Eddie Fisher's "Wish You Were Here". my parents, however, were more of a Nat King Cole fan (hence, my name)

and the Korean War was still on so i was born in an Army hospital although it was here in the USA ... and HA!!! just noticed what number post this is!
