May 18th is the birthday

… of Tina Fey, 37.

… of baseball hall of famers Brooks Robinson (70) and Reggie Jackson (61).

… of actors Bill Macy (85) and Dwayne Hickman (73). Macy has more than 75 credits to his name, but I remember him most as Maude’s husband (I once watched a taping). Hickman, of course, was Dobie Gillis.

… of George Strait, 55. Jeez, I have 74 George Strait tracks in iTunes. (Note that link opens to music.)

… of Joe Bonsall. Who? He’s one of the Oak Ridge Boys and he’s 59. Bonsall sang lead on “Elvira.”
