NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Eddy Arnold, whose mellow baritone on songs like “Make the World Go Away” made him one of the most successful country singers in history, died Thursday morning, days short of his 90th birthday.

Whole Story

I have a theory that so many people die days short of their birthday because deep down nobody really enjoys having the "birthday song" sung to them.

Interesting non-fact: According to the authors of the "birthday song" when somebody hits 90 years of age celebrators should switch the ending of the song from "... and many more!" to the age appropriate, "... and a couple more!"

Howdee!

Last night I downloaded some of Eddy's stuff. I was surprised by how much I knew. And not just knew -- but knew well! Yet, I did know what I knew I did not think I could have known.
