Funny you should mention this just now. Yesterday I registered with a website recently set up by my pension provider and I entered my date of birth via a device which gave days of the week. My parents told me my day of birth was a Sunday, but this is the first time I recall seeing that confirmed in writing - 73 years later!

Wednesday - and Duke Ellington's 'Sentimental lady' was #1 on the R&B charts that week :D

Well, I couldn't be that exact, but I can tell you that Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis were big time, Muggsy Spanier was leading his Ragtime Band and Charlie Christian was recording with Benny Goodman small groups - but then I think we've already had a thread on this.

Saturday baby!

Always wondered if it would have made a difference if I had been born on another day of the week...

Do you have a French equivalent of this rhyme?

"Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child works hard for a living,

But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day

Is bonny and blithe and good and gay."

The day the eagle flies!

A nursery rhyme I loved is called Le petit prince


Lundi matin, le roi, sa femme et son p'tit prince
Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince,
Mais comme j'étais parti, le petit prince a dit:
Puisque c'est ainsi, nous reviendrons mardi.

Mardi matin,...

Oh, we're doing #1s as well?

Looks like I was born into a world full-thrusting into the embrace of a country-jazz fusion, as well as a recognition-that The Man would always find a way to fuck you over.
