[Dixielandjazz] Upcoming Centennials for Jazz Musicians

[Norman Vickers]

Thanks, Nancy, for the correction  Glenn Miller 3-1-04 to 12-15-44 and the
added information.
We'll have a complete list her pretty soon.

( not sure about the math though, relating to Jimmy Dorsey's Feb 29th
birthday-- would that be three out of four years? or did he alternate
between 2-28 and 3-1 on non leap years?)

Norman

There was an inquiry about what centennials we might be celebrating for the
rest of 2004 and 2005

We've already celebrated centennial of:
Glen Miller 1-1-04 to 12-15-44
Jimmy Dorsey 2-29-04 -6-12-57
Fats Waller  5-21-04 to 12-14-43
Hi Norm and friends,
Glenn Miller's birthday was actually March 1st.
Since Dorsey was born on Feb. 29th,
Six out of seven years he shared Miller's March 1st birthday.
Nancy,
