So why take a chance . . .

Today is the birthday of Edgar Bergen (February 16, 1903 - September 30, 1978), actor and radio performer, best known as a ventriloquist (puppet Charlie McCarthy).

A birthday shout out to James Ingram (born February 16, 1956), an American musician.  My memories of James involves volley ball/basketball in the park (California days) with the gang from Wood Shed Studio (Robertson Blvd. LA/CA), before his Grammy award for One Hundred Ways . . . 

Happy Birthday James!
