Ervin Drake
To my small but highly select group of regular readers, I pass on this email I received from Christine Lavin’s mailing list.
From: Christine Lavin ([email protected])
Sent: Sun 4/03/11 2:56 PMToday is Ervin Drake’s 92nd birthday — please send him a birthday wish for tomorrow’s gathering at Cast Party ……………………………………………………………………………….. Ervin Drake wrote “It Was A Very Good Year,” “Good Morning Heartache,” “I Believe (for every drop of rain that falls),” “I’m A Card-Carrying Bleeding Heart Liberal” and many other great songs. At Cast Party at Birdland on Monday night we will be celebrating his birthday and I will present him with as many birthday greetings I can gather by 3 PM Monday afternoon (that gives me 24 hours!). Please send a birthday greeting for Ervin, including your name and where you live. Send it to me at [email protected] — and feel free to send this around to any other music loving friends. Greetings from the BWI Airport Christine
Just in case anyone else is of a mind to do so.
