Over the past ten years – along with cards and presents, video chats and phone calls – your birthday has been celebrated and commemorated twice here on sixstr stories.
Each time included a song: “Birthday” by The Beatles in 2014 and “My Daughter’s Eyes” (a song of mine) in 2012.
This year it seemed like it was about time to “present” you with the instrumental that I wrote almost half of your lifetime ago and titled in honor of the day of your birth.
