Delberthot Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) The closest I can find is that one of my favourite basketball players of all time, Magic Johnson, has his birthday the day after me. On Mother's Milk by the Chilis there is a song called Magic Johnson which features a bass player of some description Edited June 19, 2021 by Delberthot Quote

(We can maybe forgive the oversight of Nico Assumpção, a Brazilian bass player, but it would be a shame, as he's darned good. ...) Edited June 19, 2021 by Dad3353 Quote

Well, he’s played bass, not sure if that counts? Otherwise, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lindsey Buckingham, Eddie Cochran, Chubby Checker, Steve Reich and Gwen Stefani. I’m the same day as you then! Allen Woody (a bassist I’d not previously heard of) played with Allman Brothers and Gov’t Mule would count. 1 Quote
Rich Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Lori Black, Brent Ashley. Also: Steve Gadd, Carl Perkins, Gerard Way, Hannah Gordon, Hugh Hefner, Dennis Quaid, Lenny 'Guvnor' McLean, Seve Ballasteros, Jacques Villeneuve, and the god-like Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Also, Concorde 002 made its maiden flight on my birthday so perhaps I could include that on the list? Edited June 20, 2021 by Rich Quote
