    "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain & Tennille -- for the day I was born.

    "No Scrubs" by TLC -- for the day I was born into the optical field

    I'm not sure which one is worse.

    Only forever.......der Bingle

    Bing Crosby that is........October 1940! Yikes! I do, however, know who Vera Lynn was and can remember hearing songs by her. She was a Brit and her songs wer popular during WWll and one was featured (I think) in Dr Stangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and Love the Bomb. It was Till we meet again, or something like that.

    I recall "till we meet again; don't know where; don't know when . . ." In addition to Vera Lynn the song was also often sung by Kate Smith on her TV show at 4PM.
